Oh, Mary, I just read your update! So sorry to read you had to go through so much! Hospitals/ER's can really be a challenge - trust me, this I know (I discovered I had a *sensitivity* to morphine when I was in the ER)! But hopefully you got everything back on track, and you'll be back on the road to recovery without incident. (The L5, btw, was one of my fractures, but was considered a minor one with all the pelvic fractures.)

Sending healing thoughts your way...
