    Default Update: Kristi7928 - PRAYERS needed

    Kristi had a fairly serious car accident last week and has surgery going on right now. Her femur is broken in two places, and with her paraplegia, they have to pin not cast. In addition, she has lupus ongoing so hospital is not a great place.

    Her vehicle, which was wheelchair specialized, was totaled. She was fortunate to have gone between two large concrete poles, rather than head-on into them.

    Please keep her in your prayers. PM me if you'd like an address to send a card.

    Love y'all

    Oh no. This is terrible news.
    Please send her my love.
    I will try and send a card but we are about to go into lockdown here so I am not sure what our postal service will be like.

    UPDATE: Kristi came through surgery well; she is relatively comfortable, but lots of pain meds.

    Downside is no visitors, but since she has lupus its probably good. I will keep y'all updated and let her know you are thinking of her.

    Annie, I am so sorry about your daughter getting hurt so bad. It's such a stressful time even without that. I am not a big prayer person, but will try. Wishing her a good recovery & sending + thoughts for you and your whole family.

    O, that poor thing.
    I hope she is discharged soon.
    This is no time to be in a hospital...
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.

    ALL - I've passed on good wishes, and Kristi says to thank all of you so much. Luann, while I'd be delighted if she were my daughter (and she does call me MA), it's rather an unofficial relationships - met her on here and helped her with her insurance approval for sleeve. We just became very close. She's the same age as the middle daughter of my 6 kids.

    I don't know why I thought she was your daughter - you didn't say that I guess I just assumed.
    I've been away for a long time so I am not up on who is who anymore. But I know I've made some good friends a long time ago, seems they have all moved on. I know my closest friend here had a serious car accident. Anyway I hope Kristi is doing better.

    Aww!! Who is cutting onions around here??

    Thanks for keeping everyone in the loop Annie. My goal is to be less update-able and more contributor. Kind of a ghost town around here. Where is everyone?

    Saw the surgeon today - everything is healing well. I have a nice shiny new plate and screws to add to my metal collection. #bionicwoman
