Update from Zephryhills

We have been restricted since Mel's surgery.  He is now able to remove the sling and is having much more aggressive therapy.  It is hurting much more, it's surprising how weak you become when you are not allowed to move or use a limb (without help from the other arm) for 6 weeks!

We attended a Disaster Training Seminar at First UMC here in Zephyrhills the middle of January. We met some wonderful people and learned a lot about Disaster Response in the United Methodist Church.


Mel joined an Ecumenical Men's Breakfast Meeting on Tuesday mornings.  There is a speaker every week to talk about what they are doing in the community.  He met "Mary" who has been serving the needy and homeless in Zephyrhills for many years.  They feed Monday - Thursday at 4pm in Zephyr Park.  On Monday we joined them by bringing prepared hot dogs and helped by serving.  The store that has been providing a lot of the weekly food that is donated is one of the Sweet Bay Supermarket's that closed.
