All,

A little over three weeks after her accident, Cyn is recovering at our place.  Her wounds are healing, she is getting stronger, and she is starting to deal with the next phase of her recovery.

Monday Cyn saw a pulmonary doctor who tested, x-rayed, listened, talked and discussed.  She is finished with the O2 concentrator, has a set of exercises she is to do, and unless she starts having difficulty, she doesn't need a return visit.  Tomorrow she has an appointment with our GP to check breaks, stitches and staples.  Cyn is able to sleep much better and more deeply now that we are at a fixed location instead of being on the road.  She's getting a lot of sleep.  At some time in the future she is looking forward to returning to SC.

One of the things that will come back is her phone number, but not her phone.  I was able to recover both phone numbers and photos from her mostly dead phone.  We have to make a trip to Verizon to see if one of our old phones has enough functionality to take over for her old phone.  Her computer seems to be fully functional, but email is slow - the effect of one hand typing.

At this point, it has been nice meeting with you all, some for the first time via this email list, and fulfilling the role of scribe in this adventure.

On behalf of Cyn and the rest of the family, I would like to thank everyone for their prayers, their help, their emails, their cards, their wishes, their support and their offers of help.  While the Flagstaff medical staff gave Cyn all the physical and health related support she needed, you have given her the necessary emotional support she needed.  Thank you so much.

This email will end the series.  The next phase will likely be via Cyn's Facebook page
(http://www.facebook.com/people/Cynthia-Hanenberger/100000676913261 , I think - I'm not a Facebook person), or possibly a blog.

Take care.
