Jewel is OUT
The soldier girl is out of the hospital! She will be treated on an outpatient standing for a while yet. Jewel is getting around on crutches and is on convalesent leave. She has chosen to stay in NC with friends and house hunt while keeping her appointments with the doctors for further treatment.She hopes her fiance will be back in the states on leave in the next week or so. I think she will feel a lot better after he has seen her in person and reassured her he loves her inspite of the scars.
The schrapnel she took is still slowly working it's way to the surface and she will be dealing with the mess that causes for weeks yet.
She will be fine, in the long run. A blessing.
I continue to work on this new site and hope to have it finished by August 1st.
