Thanks Re: My Condition

["Wayne Graefen" <wgraefen@xxxx>]

I'm receiving numerous emails and snail mails from y'all regarding my broken
leg and my reappearance on the 300 listserver.

I appreciate your concern, humor, love and prayers.

My leg broke because I have had a bone disease (Paget's) for 15 years. The
lupus John Lazenby mentioned is coincidental and a small factor. My upper
leg (femur bone) broke just by catching an area rug while going for the
phone. It is that far diseased (okay, RUSTY!). I then fell because I knew
I had broken it and could not stand.

I have cancelled our RI meet reservations and will be spending a lot of time
at my desk because I am sternly grounded by my orthopedist awaiting X-ray
proof in the months to come that my bone will heal sufficiently to support
the plate, 8 screws and long bolt he placed near my hip.

Thanks again and I'll be contributing as I have in the past: whatever I
feel somewhat qualified to add. But don't ask me to go down to the barn and
look at something on my cars. Its off limits for a while.

In HIS care,
Wayne
