Barbara Hensley is alive and well in Rockwall, Texas I have missing in action since September 10, 2012.  A very short version of a very long story is that I had a double knee replacement on September 17.  That is itself should not have been a long lasting event but due to complications which had nothing to do with the actual knee replacements but a series of non related infections.  Two different REHAB stays resulted me in not getting back to my home until right before Thanksgiving. Actually I have missing in action for seven months. I am sharing this with my awesome friends in ActiveRain because I wanted you to know that I am here to stay.  You are all part of my life so watch for me and reconnect. I am attending the blogging camp that is going on now and it is great.  Things have chan...
