One of our newer members, Elizabeth Price (chocolate truffle maker extraordinaire), is having open heart surgery 4/28 for a bicuspid aortic valve birth defect she only found out about 14 months ago. She'll take 2 or 3 months to recover and she can't drive for 6-8 weeks. So it's likely we will not see her at sewing again until July or August.
She gave me permission to share the following support information. Her address is provided in case you want to send a card:
7028 Scotland Woods Rd
Hanover VA 23069

Here is what I posted to friends/family for anyone interested in helping:
Miscellaneous things we could use help with in the next few months since I've had very little energy since February and of course will be in hospital and recovering for weeks/months:
1. Meals: (Meal Train) https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/o9900n
2. Driving: (Sign Up Genius) https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0a44acaa2ea3f49-drivers#/
3. Cleaning - general dusting, floors, dishes, kitchen, bathrooms (I'm so far behind because I tired so easily.) I'm considering hiring someone to come do a deep clean, just collecting info rn, but also running out of time. If anyone knows someone who is willing to come in every other week to help with whatever needs doing, that'd be awesome.
4. Mowing a field sometimes (this would give Andy a break as I had hoped to do this surgery in winter!)
5. Gardening - Y’all know how I love my garden.
A - Weeding: The weeds will take over the flower beds.
B - Veg garden: If anyone would like to use the unused section of my garden to grow their own vegetables, please let me know! We have a dirt road access to the back so you could come anytime and put the space to use. There is a sprinkler hose set up (between mows) and you can visit the ducks.
And if nothing gets done, we'll be ok. It's only a few months.
