Hi Folks,

Looks like a lot of our Alamo Family is having health problems  and worst. Prayers to

all, for those we've lost and those with health problems.

As many of you know Ed was having problems with his shoulder the whole time we

were there during our winter stay.   He hurt his shoulder, which housed a reverse

shoulder joint.  Emergency room Dr.'s (?) said joint looked fine.  Surgeon we were

able to get with, 2 weeks later, also said joint looked Ok.  If the ligaments were torn,

they could take those out of leg and/or back, to attach.  Wouldn't be much difference

in his mobility or he could exercise it himself.  Might do as much good.  So we came

to Texas and Eddie exercised his arm.  Wasn't getting any better.  So we made an

appt. with the Dr. who did my shoulder joint last summer.  He immediately saw the

problem,  broken reverse shoulder joint.  First week in April surgery was done, it was

more complicated than just replacing a joint.  Anyway, he got an infection and back

to hospital for high powered anti-biotics by IV.  We're back home now, we'll see how

things go.  It was getting better when he was dismissed.  Like they say this getting

old isn't for sissies.

Hope those that are doing well continue so and the rest of us get better!

God bless you all,  Linda and Ed
