The saw bones just left our room, and gave me the story. She's in recovery now and should be back "online" in a few hours. 2 weeks or so of rehab and she'll be good to go. I had an experience with orthopedics back in the early 90s, and they are even more amazing today. Ahhhh, if I could go back to my early 20s ya'll probably wouldn't know tsquare. So anyway, if my posts today have been a little off axis, that's why, but this place is a nice distraction from even that kind of stress.

Everybody fly safe and be careful out there.
Best wishes to your mom t. My mom had one at 83 years old and recovered very quickly. Yours will too.

I hope she didn't break it by falling when you told her this however:
