Karen's Feb 19th Post - Re: Gov't Leave Donations

Sorry that it has been so long since I updated my blog, but I have been really busy lately. I still have weekly physical therapy to help improve my walking ability and to restore some of the muscle and tendon damage to the left side of my body. I also do daily exercises on my own to help speed up the recovery process and hopefully, reduce some of the pain to my lower back, left leg and foot. I also just started a pretty intense study of the Biblical book of Daniel at the chapel at Fort Belvoir.

I addition, I also make a one hour trip to the Stroke Comeback Center in Oakton, VA where I attend individual speech therapy sessions twice a week and four group sessions on Monday afternoons. One of the groups is a book club. We have read some real duds. But the current one is much better, Kite Runner.

I also check my e-mail daily (link to e-mail) so please feel free to send some at your convenience, but keep it short: my typing is pretty bad (but, getting a bit better) so long replies are impossible.

One last plea. I am about to run out of sick and previously donated leave so if you are a Federal employee or know any Federal employees, leave donations would be appreciated. If you have already done so many thanks! Your leave donations and the continued paychecks have enabled me to hold on to my condo for my eventual return.

Best wishes to you all.

Love, Karen
