Good friends and gentles....  M'lady Anne the Spinster, mka Donna Mallory-Field, is indeed finishing her 8th day at the hospital, with 2 1/2 more to go.  She still awaits visits from her Steppes family and friends, but does appreciate the few phone calls she has received.  She is busy during the day with physical therapy.  Different therapist want different things from her.  One insists she use a walker to get around.  Another insists she NOT use it. (She doesn't need it any more!!!)  Her roommate wants the thermostat set at 85', and the room swelters at that temp.  Food is great at Medical City.  Her back gets stronger every day, but the pain is still very much a part of her life.  Pain management is high on her list of priorities!! 
   She is in building A, room 506B.  Call her at 972-566-7336.  Hours are from 9 to 9.  She should get to come home some time Friday afternoon.  She is looking forward to her own bed.  Thanks, Bre'nain MacGilla Pa'traic, mka Noble Field
