A Note to Members from Karen Witesman

Aloha, I am now home and going to re-hab as an out patient and doing  well. It has been a grim 6 months, since diagnosis and surgery for  removal of 3 ruptured discs  in my neck. The stenosis had been going on for some time but not until I was walking like a drunk did the MRI show the damage and 90% stenosis of my spinal canal. In the olden days I would have become paralyzed soon and had a grim end.  The neurosurgeon at Kaiser Honolulu did a wonderful job , May 17th, of rebuilding and stabilizing my neck with titanium rods and titanium plates . I want  to thank  all those here at Hualalai that offered support and help , especially Barbara Kildow who took over loving and caring for my cat and Peggy Kent who scoured my wardrobe for clothes to wear during my months stay at Life Care in Kona.  Love to all my friends here.
