Even without the "trauma" of the vascular mishap, there is a lot of recovery work to be done. Good luck to you both Cheers Alastair --- bjq1@mac.com wrote: From: Barney Quinn <bjq1@mac.com> To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> Subject: [Leica] IMG: Sunday Flower Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 22:11:47 -0400 Some of you may know the story behind this image. For those of you who don't I'll put you in the picture , as it were. :-) Last month my wife Judy went in to have her left knee replaced. It should have been a routine procedure, but it wasn't. The surgeon accidentally cut the arteries and the veins in the back of her knee which supply blood to the lower leg and foot. She was on the operating table for nine hours. They had to send to Georgetown University for a Vascular Surgeon to repair the damage. She lost seven units of blood in the process. She was lucky. There is no permanent damage done. Many people were kind enough to send her flowers. My mind was not really on my viewfinder, but I was able to photograph some of the get well gifts sent to her by friends and family. This is the first of the three which I was able to shoot. It is a live miniature Azalea which is now in her garden. I thought that I would post these pictures over the next few weeks as a thank you for people's kindness and in gratitude that I still have a wife. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Barney/Azeala_1.jpg.html Comments and criticisms welcome.
