hi, everybody (and jeffrey, please don't gripe about not getting a letter of your own). i fell monday night leaving work and broke my leg. spent a couple of days at raleigh community hospital and had some pins put in to realign the bones and a torn ligament. i've got a temporary cast until dec. 4. then the surgeon will take out the stitches and put on a real cast. that stays on for 3 to 6 weeks, and during all that time i can't put any weight at all on my right leg. i have a walker, crutches, and a wheelchair, but i'm not very mobile. after the real cast comes off, the doctor will remove one pin in the ligament and put me in a removable cast. i still won't be quite as mobile as i'm used to, and i won't be able to drive a car again for a while. they tell me i can't drive again safely until after the 2 months in the removable cast is over and i've had several weeks of physical therapy. For those of you on my Cupp and Pruitt genealogy lists, I need to ask that someone step forward and take over list management. I won't be able to get to my computer often enough to manage the bounces and such. I also ask that the volunteers get in touch with Karen Isaacson or Brian Leverich at Rootsweb directly, because I don't expect to get back to my computer for 3 or 4 days. Pam, could you help coordinate the switching of the lists with whoever volunteers and Brian and/or Karen as needed? Okay, gang, I'm off to slide down the stairs on my butt, have some breakfast, read the comics, then snooze the morning away in Phil's recliner. for those of you who need the phone number, it's (919) 212-0962 i'm up and moving by 6 am - i have to give myself injections of anti-coagulants every 12 hours. and while rosie and oprah are a lot of fun to watch, i'd appreciate hearing a friendly voice every now and then. take care, y'all. i'll try to post updates every now and then on my web page instead of sending bulk email. the page is at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/3224 Donna ==== PRUITT Mailing List ==== REMEMBER!
