Alison,
thinking of you and Chelsea and hoping all goes great for you both.
In CA we met a guy who had shattered about 6" of his leg and ankle in a fall work comp case him- double
showed us the xrays of the repair - plates, screws pins etc
My son shattered his wrist in 2001 did a pretty good job of it too = pins and such to fix it also.

Mark you're right - sometimes we need a reminder to remember all the others in this big ole world that are living in horrible conditions and to pray for them also.
