Above is my feeble attempt at humor in describing my recent upset and why I have been quiet lately.

On the evening of my birthday 4/29, while at a lovely dinner with my brother and niece I fell. It is one of those crazy things that you could not duplicate if you tried. I was getting up to greet Slick who had arrived as a surprise. The aisle between tables was very narrow and my foot started to slide and there was nothing to break my fall.

I broke my femur.

I have been in the hospital until last Thursday afternoon.

It will be a slow, but hopefully steady recovery. I will have physical therapy for a few weeks.

Big hugs to all who knew about this and kept in close contact.
