Glad to hear you guys made it though the storm.

[Bagger]

Finally got in touch with gunshot24 this morning.  He and G/F are safe.  He says it is an awful site down there.  Other friends were helping sift through the rubble today.  I REALLY wish I could take off and go down there to help.  Four of the students who perished were former classmates of Stef when she went to EHS last year.

When it rains, it pours.............and the fecal matter hit the rotary ocsillator yesterday.  First is the tradgedy in Enterprise.  Then, Stef's orthopaedic surgeon calls with a date for her next surgery.........................long story, so I'll make it quick.  This will be her sixth time on the pegboard to continue the repair of her left hip, which she broke 3 years ago last month.  This time her hip will be distracted and externally fixated with the ultimate goal of getting back her ROM.  As it is right now, she can flex her left leg no further down than 10 degrees from the vertical.  We haven't broke that news to her yet.  She is in Atlanta this weekend to attend an Open House at the Altanta division of the Savannah College of Art and Design.  Neither Renea nor I had the heart to tell her about her surgery last night...............she'd been through enough.  She comes home on Sunday.  Hopefully we're able to tell her then.  The bad part is once the surgery is complete, she'll be homebound until school is out for the summer.  That is going to crush her...........but doing the surgery now is her only hope to begin her senior year with a proper gait.

This SUCKS!                   My apologies for going off topic.

Bagger, Sorry for the anguish you and yours are going thru right now. For what its worth  theres always a caring ear here to listen and offer prayers and hope. I  guess its  the long run where all the pain and trials will pay off.   keep the faith and  remember  theres  much healing thru sharing....

Am really sorry to hear about your daughter. It is always so much harder when it is our children rather than ourselves. If there is anything that can be done to cheer her up how about letting us all know. From what I have seen during my short time here I know that everyone would volunteer and help out in whatever way they could. Best of luck and may God bless you and yours.

Thanks ESJ.  That is one of the GR8 things about this forum...............we don't have to keep it all in.  Stef is gonna be fine.  She's a tough young lady.

Thanks JR.  You're a GR8 Brother.  Your thoughts and prayers are much needed and appreciated.

Thanks twojay.  I'd give anything to be in her shoes.  She's too young to be dealing with this..............but through it all, she has become a strong young lady.  Sometimes I feel like I need my a$$ kicked when I think I've got it tough.
