Lorraine's Surgery

["Ira Schneider" <ira_schneider@iname.com>]

Most of you know my wife Lorraine.  For the new members who don't know her, Lorraine
has been running the raffles for us at train shows.

You may remember that two years ago Lorraine broke her ankle.  Lately she has been
in an increasing amount of pain due to arthritis destroying the ankle joint.  On Monday, she
had ankle fusion surgery.  We are hopeful that this surgery will reduce the pain to a tolerable
level.  The surgery went well and she is in good spirits.

Today she was moved to HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Austin to receive physical therapy.
Her telephone number is (512) 479-3669.  Please call her if you get the chance.  I know she would
appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks.
