UPDATE:
Mrs Don-o had the surgery on the left elbow this afternoon. It was about three and a half hours. The surgeon called me (I had gone to work to take care of some things) at around 5:30. Said it was a pretty nasty break and took a lot of doing to piece it back together. He said that they will not put it in a cast and she will be using the elbow as it heals.

Good news is that her right broken arm is relatively functional. Good motion with that elbow, shoulder and fingers.

That’s about what I know now. Again, I thank you all very much.

Mrs. Don-o, what happened to you?!? After all you did re Notre Dame!

After St. Teresa of Avila had a slip from a carriage into some mud, she quipped to God, “If this is how You treat Your friends, then it is no wonder You have so few of them.” If you’ve said anything like that in this situation, then you’re in good company! :-)

Of course I’ll pray for you!

Sorry for the late reply.

Ironically enough, I was biking on Saturday (and Sunday) doing the MS-150 ride from Proctor to Minneapolis.

Glad to hear the operation was a success, you are both the subject of prayers heading past the ceiling and upwards at a rapid rate of ascent.

Cheers!
