Kates fall......RE: Irene

[Guest guest]

Dear Kate,…I’m so sorry this happened. As if you needed something else to add to everything else. Please let us know what they decided about the hard cast or not. Do you know what caused you to lose your balance? I never knew when I fell, I just went down. Luckily that hasn’t happen for a couple years now that I use a walker. I certainly will keep you in my prayers.

Only prob is I lost my balance yesterday and fell full force on my foot. I wound up going to the ER last evening. They took an x ray which showed a fracture. Right now I m in a soft cast. In about a half hour I m going to my ortho which hospital recommended I do. Keep me in your thoughts please. Unsure if they ll want to do a hard cast or not. Will update when I get back.Love to all,KateSent from my iPad KateI heard this morning the death count was up to 30 something. Tragic!

Although it was a tropical storm, there is still much devastation.I am thunderstruck by the amount of water. People are losing their homes, businesses, and one school is completely under water. It is a tragedy. I am glued to the TV watching all the horrible events. love to you and your family,Kate To: " MSersLife " <MSersLife >Sent: Monday, August 29, 2011 1:04 PMSubject: Re: Irene Thank God you came through it safely, Kate. Please let us know when you hear news of Bob's boat. I was listening to the national news on the radio this morning about all the trees down and the flooding. I'm so glad it didn't hit as at Cat 1 hurricane but instead as a tropical storm. hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

The winds whipped--I think they were 60mph. It poured. So many here have lost so much. The major roads are closed. The major highways were ALL closed; mass transit in the city came to a halt. It will take a very long time for the waters to stop rising. The Croton River and Hudson River, both relatively close to us were bursting. The Long Island Sound and LI itself got really hammered. We are awaiting news on my brother, Bob's boat which is anchored, pretty safely in the LI Sound.Wishing the waters would ebb and retreat...love,Kate To: MSersLife Sent: Sunday, August 28, 2011 7:51 PMSubject: Irene Well, the coverage has ended, and I am back to bloomberg TV. They say there were 18 deaths...that is a lot, the whole thing is quite tragic and sorrowful. I am just glad it wasn't worse, and my prayers go out to those who lost so much during this storm. I know we could have just as easily been victims, and are very lucky Irene decided to bypass Florida. I don't know if Rob is ok, since I have not heard from him since they left, except for a short email telling me he was in Herkimer, and that was a few days after they left, nothing since. So I don't know if he is/was there or in Boston, or if he is ok. I hope he is safe.HugsAkiba
