YEAH
I had wanted to write this note on Monday but had to wait a few days as they kept Kay at Kaiser for 6 extra days to treat an infection.
She is doing much better than we could ever ask for. At 1 PM Saturday she was transferred by ambulance to a skilled nursing center in Petaluma, CA where she will continue her rehab. She still has a number of problems (the wound healing) and getting her strength back.
So far she has spent 60 days at Kaiser. 45 in ICU, 7 days in a ward private room and then 8 days in a 3 bed room.
She sends her love to all of you and will be sending notes of thanks to all.
Again, thanks for all your prayers,
Bill WØQNI
For the last 2 months or so, we have been averaging about 70 check ins per net night, Last Sunday night, we had 76. Last nights net (7-21-09) there were 71 check ins.
One thing we have noted is that "new" check ins seem to come in at the end of the net. Most have said that they have been listening for a while before checking in. One fellow said he had been listening for a month. Another said he really enjoyed the humor. Another said it was neat to hear his name called.
As time permits, we will be entering more info on the web site.
Our HF net meets at 8 p.m., Pacific Time, every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday nights on 3.908 Mhz.
