Lea Ann Carlisle Update

Here is a portion of an update regarding Lea Ann Carlisle's recovery from falling off of a ladder, written by Marie Petersen:
LEA ANN - UPDATE AS OF THIS MORNING:
Lea Ann would like everyone to know that she is very touched by all of your kindness and she appreciates it so much. Although she would love to visit with everyone, she is unable to do so at this time. She is in some pain, is medicated, and trying to rest as much as possible. She must stay in bed for the next two weeks with her arms propped up. She would prefer that visits and phone calls be held off until she is feeling up to it; possibly next week. Because she is sleeping so much she would also like to ask that calls at that time be made during the hours of noon and 6pm.

KNOWING LEA ANN AND HER AMAZING POSITIVE ATTITUDE SHE MAY FOOL MEDICAL SCIENCE:
She will have an eight week recovery.
Won't be able to drive a car until then.
At the end of the month they will see what mobility she has.
After recovery she will have physical therapy.
She has numerous pins and plates in each hand/wrist.
If I remember this correctly, she has 10 breaks in each hand/wrist.
The doctors rate the severity of the injuries from A to C; C being the worst. She was rated with a C+.
She needs to concentrate on following the doctor's orders of staying in bed, resting and not using her fingers, what little are exposed out the bandages.
