So far the 2014 year has been a challenge.  I had a stroke and was hospitalized for a week.  I was lucky my balance was the main thing effected.  When the weather let's me, the store is open it's regular hours.  I am going to be facing a surgery but will put if off until I can't put if off any longer.
