My knee is finally getting replaced!

Joy entered by Shellye Hodges-French on April 29, 2022

I'm finally having my first (of two) total knee replacements (delayed by Covid and other factors) on Tuesday, May 10! Outpatient, robotic surgery. Healing energy and light is much appreciated. I intend to be hiking tall mountains by summer! Joking! Maybe moderate walking hikes on level desert sand by late July/early August. Lol! Thank you for your thoughts!

Cindy Francis is now home

Joy entered by Bob Francis on April 29, 2022

After a 8 day stay in the hospital for treatment of numerous blood clots in Cindy's left leg, we're happy to share that the chemo team was able to start the first chemo treatment last Friday while still in the hospital and she's recovering well from that and the hospitalization. Came home Monday and have been getting stronger every day. Thanks to you all for the cards and positive energies received.

Blessed be and much love.

So thankful that it wasn't worse...

Joy entered by Gloria Holland on April 19, 2022

On Easter Sunday morning, I was involved in a car accident at my daughter's house. I pulled into the driveway, opened the door to get out, and realized the car was rolling backwards. The car door hit me, and I landed face down on the concrete while the car careened across the street and hit the neighbor's double door garage. Where's the joy in this? Well, I survived with all my teeth, and only a fat lip, and a sore foot. Many people came to my rescue, and I want to thank all of you who sent blessings, positive thoughts, and prayers. I'm very thankful that no one else was hurt.

Connors are mourning the loss of Beasley

Joy entered by Denise and Teresa Connor on April 16, 2022

Joy& Concern: Denise & Teresa are mourning the sudden loss of their beloved senior girl mutt, Beasley. She brought such joy, comfort and connection for many years after being rescued from a few unloving homes. She was old and tired and winding down, but active, happy and loving us, life, and her dog and kitty brothers and sisters to the end. We all miss her.

Positive Energy Needed for Cindy Francis

Concern entered by Bob and Cindy Francis on April 1, 2022

Bob and I have sad news. Cindy has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer with metastasis to the liver. It's early days yet and there are lots of unknowns. A liver biopsy is scheduled with DNA testing of the liver tumors and Cindy's DNA to help fine tune the chemo treatments. The chemo treatment is focused on shrinking the tumors which will lessen the pain and improve quality of life. This will probably give Cindy 16 to 18 months of life. Please keep us in your thoughts and send positive energies.
