Hello Everyone, Thank you so very much for the cards, e-mails, and communications with my family and with my best friend Linda Fluharty concerning my well being and progress. I am overwhelmed with your concern, prayers, juice and best wishes for my speedy"?" recovery. Maybe someday I shall be able to repay you for your kindnesses. As most of you know, I fractured my right femur in two places turning over in bed on Sunday, May 26. One was a diagonal fracture about three inches above the foot of the femur where it connects into the knee, and the second fracture (which I think was done a few days earlier) is a T-Bone fracture through the foot of the femur in the knee. Surgery was done on the 28th of May (no more metal detectors for me at the airports) and I was put into 15 pounds "bucks" traction attached to the metal rod completely through the knee--all of which--including 30 "hog ring" clamps-- were removed on June 11. I have now been transferred to a rehab facility ("looney bin" because I am immediately next to the dementia ward and then the alsheimers unit) for rehab to teach me how to put all my weight on my left leg as it is going to be about 6 or months before the right leg can have any weight. I need to learn to swivel to the potty chair and into the wheel chair. I have a new heavy duty walker, heavy duty wheel chair, and an electric bed that makes a chair for me to get up with and trapeze bars etc. I am now at: Carlisle Bowling Room 22 Manor on the Green 324 Wilder Blvd. Daytona Beach, FL 32114 I have applied to Southern Bell for a telephone line and they tell me it will be June 26 before one can be installed and then I will be able to be on line. Best wishes for all of you and thanks for everything. Carlisle Bowling
