Dear Janice

I only have a moment to jot down a short note. I am finally out of the wheel chair. The chicken coop is being rebuilt by the Women's Synchronized Swinging Hammer Brigade. That's right. It's a professional group of builders that go around the county repairing chicken coops, barns or whatever a woman might want. Thanks to the Most Right Reverend they got my name. It's funny how the whole county knows about my 'little accident'. I am still looking for a few dozen chickens that flew the coop, literally.

Quickly healing

ps Doc says that I may be walking without crutches by this time next year.
