From John & Judy Lardin

The time has finally arrived for the Lardin’s to make the trip back to MI. After much discussion it was decided that John should fly back since he continues to have the hip problems. Dear “Little Bro” Nick Angelosanto will fly down to Ft. Myers and drive back with Judy. John will fly back on Wed. and Nick will fly down on Thur. with Judy meeting him at the airport and hop in the car and head north on I-75 from the airport. The route home has to changes as a rock slide at the TN; KY border has closed north bound I-75. John has surgery on the hip scheduled for April 18th followed by four weeks of in home therapy three times a week followed by four weeks of out patient therapy three times a week. No driving for three weeks after surgery and a must to follow the therapy. Judy and John have the condo set again for next year and are hoping the weather will be better than this year. Jan. Ft Myers usually gets 1.8 in of rain and this Jan. they got 19 in along with two tornadoes. Feb it was lucky to get to the mid 70s with little sun most of the month. March was another story with the temps in the 80s and no rain as of this writing. The hip problem limited John to one round (made it though 14 holes) of golf and three rounds of nine holes. Was not a good year for John and looking for a complete recovery from hip surgery and get a chance to be his old self.
