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.
