During the last three weeks my wife has had surgery and has been hospitalized. Due to complications of this surgery she had had to return to the hospital. She was just recently released from Clovis Community Hospital but continues to receive treatment with antibiotics to eradicate the infection. I am currently helping her at home in that process. I also was hospitalized for two days on the fist week of October 2023. Thank you for your understanding.
