Harlene-Last follow up email

15 Jun '17

Good News! Harlene is home and trying to rest, even though this is hard for her. She is not able to cook, drive or shop, and will be living on her couch right now. SO many of you have asked how you can help out and I have started a meal train. Please sign up if you want to have a date to bring a meal. We want to space this out and she will enjoy left overs or a simple sandwich and snacks and fruit. Tomorrow is taken care of in the evening, so please look at other days. Do not feel obligated but know the simpliest of things is always appreciated. She is very happy to have visitors. She is still a bit groggy, but will be ok in a few weeks. Please click the link below. I hope it works. Thanks so much, Sheri Leiken https://mealtrain.com/3l227y

Harlene
by Sheri Leiken 14 Jun '17

14 Jun '17

Thanks everyone for your email and concerns. Harlene is strong and is getting better everyday! She was sitting up, using her strong abs to get up, walking a few steps unassisted, and is certainly happily entertaining visitors! She may be released tomorrow, but I am not sure yet. If she goes home, she will need help as she has broken ribs and a broken scapula and it is her right side. Trying to make a left side dominant is difficult when you are "right sided". Right now she is in room 3123. Thanks, Sheri

Oh noooo. I'm so sorry. Let me know what I can do. Please let us know what happened. B Sent from my LG Optimus G Pro™, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone ------ Original message------ From: Sheri Leiken via announce Date: Mon, Jun 12, 2017 6:25 PM To: Bart Ziegler; Cc: CVC announcements; Subject:[cvc announce] Accident update As many of you know, and in case you did not know, Harlene Roen had an accident yesterday leaving for the social ride. The cause is unknown, but it was terrifying for many who were there. This had nothing to do with a car. She is in the hospital in ICU, (Los Robles) and will be released within a day or two but has multiple injuries and will require much help. She is not able to return texts very well, but she certainly can read them and is thankful. We can talk about how to help once she is released. I will keep everyone posted on her condition. Sincerely, Sheri Leiken

Leaving from the front parking lot at 5:30. Allow a little time for parking. Lisa will lead the group around the lake and up through Hidden Valley. Those ahead can do a Treasure Hill Climb and right turn on Hidden Valley Road to the end. If you want to skip the climb, just go left on Hidden Valley Road for the regroup. If you can't make the ride, come for the celebration! If you can't stay for the celebration, enjoy the ride! AND.. hopefully you can do both!
