Unchained Melody....

Dearest friends.

as you know, on the 29th. Jan. I went in for a day surgery procedure. Two hospitals and 11 days later, I have been unshackled from the iron bedstead and released on home detention.

Your kind wishes, prayers and thoughts have sustained me during my captivity.
I thank you all for standing by me during this time, and hope to be able to post at least for SkyWatch this week.

It may take me a while to leave comments on your blogs as I still need some recovery time.

With grateful appreciation, hugs to you all, Arija

    Good to see you back! Get some rest (I know that probably feels like all you've been doing is recovering but rest is important!)

    Ahh what a relief to have you back... it must feel so much better being in your own comfortable personal surroundings...

    I am also feeling so very heartbroken for the suffering and loss of the victims of the fires in Victoria...

    Please sleep, rest and recuperate... regain your strength... know that many people all over the world are thinking of you... love Gwen
