I want to Thank You all for your support over the last 8 weeks.....emails were very much appreciated and the support welcomed..

From a fall on March 1st, two lung surgeries, heart stopping on the table in the middle of surgery, Dialysis from the Carotid Artery, to kick start his Kidneys, pneumonia and a collaped lung, being moved from a horrible hospital to a worse rehab facility,and moved back and forth again and again , when he should never have been moved in the first place AND where he was given up on and deemed a dying man.

He has been kidnapped (by his daughters) and moved into a beautiful rehab hospital in the Sierra's with a new assisted living one bedroom apartment, right across the street, just waiting for him to walk over to.

He turned 88 in between surgeries and still has a lot more to get through, but has traveled from Hell to Heaven on Earth in a 6 hour , 40 MPH drive (with a collapsed lung) I must add.  i JUST RECEIVED THE CALL 10 MINUITES AG, that he made the trip with flying colors.

The man has made it through 3 wars, WWII to Vietnam, and now his own personal WWIII. 

If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken MUCH better care of myself ,,,LOL

This Norwegian blood is some tough stuff.

AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR LOVING AND KIND SUPPORT!!!!

whewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!

WARMTH AND LOVE ALWAYS, CARIN'
