On Friday, February 13, I fell opening the door at church. I broke my left hip and shattered my left wrist. I was blessed with a great Orthopedic surgeon who is an Aggie along with his PA who is also an Aggie. I was entrusted into the care of several Christian nurses who would pray with me when I hurt or was lonely. They did surgery on Valentine’s Day to repair my hip. The break was just below the ball of the hip so they put in a long rod. They repaired the hand Monday and attached an external fixator to stabilize the pins in my hand. It looks wicked but it does not hurt. I can not bear any weight on it so they attached a cradle to my walker to rest my arm in. my arm is wrapped with a splint and ace bandage but I wanted you to see this contraption. I will probably have this for 8 more weeks.

I went to church yesterday and it was wonderful. I wanted to protect my arm/pins from germs so Carolyn made me some little one-armed muffs. This is my Sunday muff!

I am blessed beyond measure with friends and family who have lifted me and lee in prayer. It has been very hard on him. My sister and Lee’s sister have been a huge help and encouragement. That is all for today.
