Sowers Class

Update on Gail:
She fell January 23, 2009. It is a bad break. Two broken bones at the left ankle and a sprained right ankle. The outside break is clean but the inside break is separated. Two doctors will do the surgery on Thursday, February 5th. It will need a plate and screws. It will be 6-8 weeks in a cast - cannot put any weight on it and then physical therapy for about 6 weeks. She wrote, "Thank everyone for praying for me and that I miss them." She's thankful she had a trac phone in her purse with 1 1/2 minutes left on it - enough to call her daughter for help when she fell. Her family came to her rescue that day and she's at her parent's now.
