On Tuesday (4.26.05) after Dr. Karas examined Lenore’s X-rays, he described her hip fracture as Intertrochanteric. The fracture and the treatment he recommended are illustrated in the drawings above.

At 7:30am this morning, he did the surgery, just as he had planned. When he emerged from the operating room, he assured me that everything had gone well and that he anticipates a good result.

In Lenore’s favor, in spite of all the birthdays she keeps accumulating, is the fact that she is still a vigorous, shapely and supremely healthy woman. Her physical condition is excellent. There is no one I know who can match her vacuuming a flight of stairs. And as everyone knows, she is an active and quite proficient bowler. While her putting could stand improvement, she can hit a long, straight ball down our fairways. An inveterate hiker, she walks up and down our hills like a young doe. And be apprised that she was always an excellent dancer. But, and sadly there is a but, like all of us who have entered our twilight years, Lenore too, has osteoporosis, that bane of the elderly.
