Life is a Blessing ...
Hi everyone!
I am excited to tell you that we have a special guest teacher for Thursday April 28. The lovely Caitlyn McHugh is a certified Iyengar teacher with years of practice. I hope that you all will join her for our regularly scheduled classes.
As of May 1, Yoga Different will be closed indefinitely. I have been diagnosed with Aplastc Anemia and am currently awaiting insurance approval to be transferred to the Fred Hutchison Cancer Research center in Seattle. I want to extend my gratitude to all of you who have supported Yoga Different for the past five years and to those who have offered food, blood and love over the past week. I look at this time as an opportunity for healing and to experience joy in every area of my life. Life is such a joy and this is reminder for all of us of its blessing.
I will keep my blog updated as best I can. Please check www.yogadifferent.blogspot.com for current information and what ponderings I might have.
Love and blessings to you all,
Karen

Tuesday Walk
I visited with Karen today and we went for a little walk. She looked so adorable that we had to stop and pose her for a couple of photos. Always the height of style!
Karen's white blood cells and platelets were down today, though she was in great spirits and had a lot of energy. She ate a good lunch too ... in the hospital Healing Garden ... it is abloom with spring.
Right now she is waiting to hear from her patient advocate at the hospital as to whether her insurance company will agree to cover a move to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. She should hear in the next day or so ... maybe even this afternoon. All fingers crossed!
She is SUPER THANKFUL for the blood donations and for the delicious meals and visits and sends her love to everyone.

Mercury retrograde's weird twist of fate
IT IS NEVER SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN 2 U. THE CAPS ON THE IPHONE WON'T STOP. OUR FAVORITE VEGGIE RESTAURANT ANNAPURNA HAD AN ELECTRICAL FIRE AND IS NOW CLOSED. AND I AM HOOKED UP TO AN IV IN THE HOSPITAL NEEDING FREQUENT BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS TO STAY ALIVE. LUCKILY, I DO NOT FEEL THAT BAD. WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR TEST RESULTS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TREAT WHAT IS CALLED "APLASTIC ANEMIA" WHICH MEANS MY BONE MARROW IS NOT PRODUCING BLOODCELLS OR PLATELETS.. I'VE BEEN BLEEDING FOR 10 DAYS. IT IS CONSIDERED SEVERE. IF YOU LIVE IN SANTA FE AND ARE A POSITIVE BLOOD, YOU CAN DONATE DIRECTLY TO ME BY CONTACTING SF UNITED BLOOD SERVICES AT 2801 RODEO RD OR AT 438-0678. YOU CAN SPECIFY THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE TO ME. IMI'M AT ST. VINCENTS HOSPITAL ROOM 2227. IF BLOOD DONATION IS NOT YOUR THING, HOMEMADE NOT SPICY NO DAIRY SOUP IS ALSO APPRECIATED AS WELL AS VISITS. SOME PEOPLE ARE ORGANIZING A SOUP GROUP, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE A PART OF IT, PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL AND I WILL FORWARD IT TO THE LEAD ORGANIZER AS SOON AS WE DECIDE WHO THAT MIGHT BE. SEND THE EMAIL TO
