Our resident Professor of Orthopedic Medicine/Surgery, Dan Benson, has never been more needed than he has been lately by several other class members:
We begin with Barb Rall Peiffer who fractured not one but both her wrists in late March. She must be doing pretty well now, post surgery, because we see her popping up on Facebook every now and then. Hope your recovery is complete, Barb, that you're now as good as new.
Next comes Judith Anderson who walked around Las Vegas on a 4-day vacation, then home in Honolulu for some 6 weeks with a fractured (3 breaks actually) hip. After finally having x-rays taken, surgery was performed, 3 pins were inserted, and she's now on the road to walking unassisted. Hope you're healing quickly and completely.
John Spencer comes next with a left shoulder replacement. Haven't heard much about this, but we're assuming John came thru the surgery with flying colors and will stay out of the hospital until another part fails (life-long construction work will do a number on you). Happy healing, John!
Our most recent casualty is Ellen Brockway Bunning who fractured both her tibia and fibula (both bones in her lower leg) while visiting a park with her husband; surgery is scheduled for sometime next week. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Ellen, for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.
Come on, 57ers --- let's see if we can all stay in one piece without the need for surgery in order to accomplish it.
