Jonathan - when you find out what rehab Marta is in - please let us know. I live in the south end and fairly close to her and she once helped me find an area in Germany my ancestors came from. Sweet lady it seems. It's bad enough to be in rehab - much less not to have anyone to look in on you. Bet she will be wishing for her iPad and iPhone before long! Hope she feels better soon!

She did have surgery on her hip and says she is in no pain right now, but she definitely sounds like she only feels that way through the miracle of a modern version of one of the worlds oldest poppy-based analgesics. For those who wanted to know, she will be at Jewish hospital downtown for at least a couple more days, before being transferred to a rehab facility. I can't find a patient address for them but I suppose you could do something like this: Marta Edie, Patient ℅ Jewish Hospital 200 Abraham Flexner Way Louisville, KY 40202 Thanks! -- Jonathan Fletcher _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list [email protected] http://www.math.louisville.edu/mailman/listinfo/macgroup
