Thats frustrating.
Sending healing thoughts.

She really does know how to work the woe angle. I expect she looks
like you're feeling, what with the prospect of another bum leg *and*
Harv's escapades yesterday.

Fingers crossed for a quick and inexpensive recovery for the Eeevil
Red One.

How was Harvey with the storm?

I don't think she'd be down with that, either. I mean, I *saw* the

Damn! I'm sorry. If I could send some of Harriet's "cannot be
bothered to take notice of storms" attitude to him, I would.

For sure. I don't envy you having to sort this out.

The outcome was good on her fixed leg, though? I think, if you can
manage it money-wise, it's not unreasonable to put her through the
surgery again. She's young and otherwise healthy, right?
