One Lutheran's Thoughts

Live and grow, change, reform...well, this blog used to be my 'primary' space, but not any more. This is now the online 'home' of my poetic ramblings and musings. Sometimes there is a faith/theological hue, while others not so much. Check out the pictures. Remember - literacy is visual too!

Kristen

Why is it easier to write my thoughts and struggles down than it is to share them aloud?

----

Kristen - she had a terrible accident on a snowmobile and underwent 8 hours of surgery. She now has an 'errector set' around her waist to hold her pelvis together - which she shattered like glass. The doctor explained the pelvis like a book whose binding was ripped in half. He had to use a metal plate and screws to put it back together. The 'erector sey' will stay in place 4-6 weeks and will hold her pelvis together. She can not put any weight or pressure on her legs for 3 months. She also snapped her femur - put back together with a metal rod; and her tibea plataue - reconstructed with pins and metal. Quite the bionic woman!
