A NOTE FROM KATHY SCHENLEY TO LONG-TIME MEMBERS

Dear friends – I got a call last night (January 28) from Helen Jenner's son Stephen. (Helen Jenner was the TRS Music Director for MANY years.) He asked me to let folks know about Helen's situation. Several days ago, Helen blacked out and fell, breaking a vertebra in her back. She will be having surgery at Duke in about a week. They will use a new procedure to basically glue the broken vertebra to the intact ones beside it. Stephen says that she is an excellent candidate for this surgery and that the prognosis is very good for her to eventually have a fairly high level of mobility and be able to live independently. The recovery will take a lot of time and physical therapy. Currently, Helen is in a nursing home as she waits for surgery. Here's the address: The Laurels of Forest Glenn 1101 Hartwell Street Garner NC 27529. She has a cell phone: 415-515-0671 (don't leave a voice mail message, as she can’t access it).

For those of you close enough to visit, take I-40 east around Raleigh, then exit 298A for Highway 70E/ 50S. About 3 and a half miles down highway 70, take Vandora Springs Road ramp, turn right very shortly, turn left on 7th Avenue, then right on Hartwell St. Stephen says she would love visitors.

I will keep you posted on her condition.
