❤️💨🌳💨📢📢📢💨🌳💨❤️ Pneumonia AND sepsis!! In midst of sending out last update (ĺink below), air got bad here in Albuquerque NM from huge fire. Came down with #pneumonia + #sepsis. In hospital now. 😞 Struck with extra medical bills, need help to cover ~$2,000. Thanks for nothing to the stinkin&#39; Rs. Whatever you can toss in the pot, greatly appreciated.

@KarenStrickholm@mastodon.online In case you didn't know, Karen has passed away. I didn't know she had passed until mid-May. If you knew Karen or followed her here on Mastodon, I am creating a digital memorial that features her telling he tale in her own words. I'll post a link when it's built, which will be soon. Portions of her writing will also appear on Substack. Her obit is here: https://www.legacy.com/legacy/karen-strickholm
