Monday, March 31st

Hi there, wanted to check in and say hello and give you all a quick update. I'm hoping that folks still find the blog interesting and that we're not putting you to sleep.

My Aunt and Uncle are here to visit and attend my Mom's memorial service which will take place this Sunday, April 6th. My brother, Tony and his partner John will be here on Thursday. I'm looking forward to spending time with all of them.

I'm hoping the weather will be similar to what we all enjoyed today....lots of sunshine.

As for me, I'm doing well. Continuing to have physical therapy on the left leg and right wrist. Working on the prosthetic leg to try and get this new one more comfortable. From what I'm reading the fitting of these devices is not an exact science and patience needs to be the operative word. For those of you that know me patience is not a virtue I have ever been known for.

Best Wishes,
Marta B.

Hi Marta.
Yeah for the sunny weather, especially as you tackle so many challenges. Hopefully it will inspire some great walks!
I am so glad that you have been doing so well...and don't you dare stop blogging! I know I check in on it a couple of times a week, as well as most Ward Ins. employees...don't tell Steve ;)
I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that your fan base is larger than you think!
Thank you, and your wonderful family, for keeping us all in the loop.

Best Regards,
