July 16, 2007 (Mon)

7:00 pm
Lisa returned from surgery at around 5:00
The surgeon said they cleaned out the wound, plated the femur and put in a cement spacer and cleaned up the lower leg for a future muscle flap graft which should take place in approximately 7 to 10 days. If all goes as planned, the bone graft will be done in about
4 to 6 weeks. Hopefully she will be transported to Columbus later this week. She is resting well at the moment. Despite the pain, she has remained in good spirits. Please keep the thoughts and prayers coming, and thanks for all prayers and well wishes to this point and for those to come! All are appreciated sincerely!

10:00 am
The doctors made rounds this morning and said Lisa will be going into surgery very soon. Please keep her in your prayers.

I heard that you had some water, crackers, & jello to eat on Saturday. Sounds like a typical 3-course meal for you.
Tell the doctor to put that gravel back that they removed. Doesn't he know that troopers come with their own grit?
We send our love and prayers for your comfort and recovery. I know that it will be complete.
Take Care & God Bless,

It has been so very good to hear how quickly you have improved, Mary as well, as I would have expected nothing less from either of you, two.

Lisa,
We were rocked by the news, but we are grateful that Mary will be fine soon and that you are on the road to recovery. Having been through a slightly less serious version of this twice with kids, we know it is no fun – for you or your family – but that it also gets better. Connie and I have you in our prayers. I am glad they are getting that West Virginia gravel out of you as you didn’t need any more. Altho I wouldn’t wish Jello on anyone, I guess it’s okay if you like it. When you get better, you can bike with me, but I’ll warn you that I use one with pedals. And forget about your job, I’m sure they can pile the paperwork on the floor until you get back.

There is no greater love than to lay down your life for your fellow man or woman. I'm sure that God has seen your devotion and will speed your recovery. Obviously, He felt you have more to accomplish in this life, more people to beat at Left, Right, and Center, more people to touch with your joy and positive outlook on life. I truly am glad you and Mary are on the mend. I know the coming days will bring trials for you, but many of your Patrol family and other friends are holding you up in prayer, and with all those prayers, He will surely heal you. May God bless you and keep you close to His heart through the days ahead. Love you lots, Lisa. Rest up and get stronger so that you can be back with us soon. Cindy Kollin

You may not remember me but I remember you. You were one of the most positive things about OSP due to your success as a female in a man's world! Many of us looked up to you, not only for your rank but for your warm personality. I am so sorry to hear of your accident as I am a fellow biker as well. It's obvious you have made an impression on many lives and now it's time for them to give back to you. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers all the way from Florida! Hang in there!!
