Dear friends, good gentles.....
   Thank you for your words of encouragement for my Lady Anne,mka Donna Mallory-Field.  She is still in the hospital, so I am printing out your kind words to take to her tomorrow (Thursday).  Her spinal fusion went very well.  Only 2 discs, not 3 as was feared.  She is screwed and doweled in the back. but aside from airport metal detectors, there should be no lasting effects.
   She is at Medical City, Central and Forest, building A, south tower, room 609.  She can be reached at 972-566-7000, ask for room 609A.  I am sure she would like visitors!  I do not yet know when she will be coming home, but will probably be there through the week end, but maybe in another room by Friday sometime for Physical Therapy.
   For any other information, call me at 972-489-8086 anytime.  With great warmth and thanks to you all.  Bre'nain MacGilla Pa'traic, mka Noble Field
