Again, thanks everyone for your well wishes. All is good; the x-rays
today show normal healing. More x-rays in two weeks and if they, too,
show progress, then she can start her PT... as she can tolerate it at
the time.
PT, by the way, means therapy performed by a physical terrorist. I
expect that she will realize that at therapy time! :-)
Looks like we're on our way!
