hello thank you all so much for your kindness and prayers. i made it thru the surgery but it has a complication. one of the smaller bones shattered when they tried to put a pin thru it and so now i have a metal plate and screws to hold everything together. they kept me only one nite as they said i was responding well. i am so grateful. i am doing everything they say and in two weeks go back for xrays and hopefully a lighter cast. many many thanks gigi "The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who do nothing about them" Albert Einstein --------------------------------- Got a little couch potato?
