Sally and I were in Bloemfontein today (about 2 hours from Maseru) to do some shopping and Sally slipped and fell and ended up getting a dislocation fracture of her Left elbow. We went to the ER and were attended to. The good thing was that in the process of doing the X-ray the dislocation went back in place and so no need for surgery. SHe was evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon. She has to have her arm immobilized for the next 4 weeks with a half cast and sling. Pain is not bad when she is not moving around but more when she moves around. There'll be no driving for the next 4 weeks as we have a standard transmission truck.
Appreciate your prayers for Sally, for quick healing, and for patience while she is in the cast/sling during the next 4 weeks. We go back to the orthopedic surgeon OCtober 28th.
Certainly not what we planned for the day. We are so thankful that we were able to get good treatment in a timely manner. It was kind of ironic that we went through several hours riding horses through the mountains last month with no problems and then had this happen. Well, our Lord says to give thanks in all things, so we are doing that.

Sorry to hear about Sally's arm. I know it will be difficult for her not to be able to do things like normal. Hopefully the 4 weeks will pass fast for you guys. We will pray for an easy recovery.
Tell Mrs. Pepper I'm sorry to hear about her fall. I hope everything else is going well down there!
