Broken Back

Dear Art lover,
     
     I had a very different newsletter planned for the end of July.  And here it is the first of August.

     I discovered on my 59th birthday yesterday that I have THIRTY TWO metal staples in my back.  The bandage was changed for the first time since leaving the hospital in Livorno, Italy, last Saturday afternoon.  I knew there were staples, but seeing the image was shocking.  They are scheduled to come out on 7 August.

     My siblings set up this page to share the story.  If interested, click here:

     I still have a lot of pain, naturally, but the docs had me walking out of the hospital.  I am recuperating in Viareggio, and the doc expects just over a month recovery.  It is too early for me to see that far ahead.  I know that I am lucky because it could have been much worse, but I would not recommend this situation to anyone.

     Will write more later, as I can.
Thank you for following my art and career.  Share this link above if so moved.

Best,

Kelly
