It takes a lot to keep Peggy Rector down.
But a serious infection put Rector in the hospital in Denver for three weeks.
The good news is Rector, a former Rio Blanco County commissioner and Rangely mayor, is on the mend.
“I’m feeling a lot better, thank goodness,” said Rector, who had artificial knee surgery the first of December. She came home Dec. 6.
Actually, Rector has had two surgeries in the past three months.
