The Accident

Sister Perkins wanted to go to Manila to visit the Temple and finally got her wish. Only she did not get the wish in a manner that was pleasant. Falling down steps and breaking a leg will not provide the kind of event she had in mind.

She was rushed to the hospital in Baguio. They put her in casts, but under advisement we setout for Manila and St. Lukes Hospital for surgery. One for the broken leg and one for the sprained ankle. I don't think you can walk around with both of them out of order.

It took 6 1/2 hours to reach the hospital, but Sister Perkins was under some heavy medicine and smiled and joked all the way. In fact she continued to have a happy attitude during this long ordeal.

Here are the results after the operation at St. Luke's in Quezon City just outside of Manila.

Finally after 9 days in the hospital they turned her lose, of course in a wheel chair, but she gets around quite well with a Walker and wheel chair. She can be dangerous if you get in her way.

Finally she gets well enough to go to the temple in Manila. Soon to return to Baguio and get back to work. All is Well in Manila.
