here´s what i just wrote to my sisters:

¨no broken hip...just inflamed. happy day! and lightheadedness is just from meds. arm cast will be on for another two MONTHS!! grrr...but had two metal rods put in, 12 screws total to join them to the bones and 18 stitches. i count myself incredibly lucky and blessed. i can´t wait to go back up to site in maybe a week to do some good work. pls con´t to not tell father.¨

still on bedrest...until forever but otherwise, doing well. thank you for all the good wishes. i feel so popular. if you see susan lawton, kathleen, jorge, or suni, give them props; they really came through for me and i am now a pc training story for future grps!!!
