Thanks to all except one on this forum. Being a lady, I won't say more on that subject.
My leg will be cast on Thursday to give the swelling a chance to go down, and the expectation is that I will start physical therapy without the cast in about 6 weeks. We have had accidents in the past, and this was the first time at SVRR that it involved a woman. I think 6 or 8 accidents in 39 years is not too bad a record. I'm sorry I broke our safety streak.
I am also proud of the crew, depot staff, EMS and hospital for their quick, efficient care after my fall, which was not witnessed by anyone outside the locomotive cab and tender, according to people in the cab.
