My Lucky Twin Sister Carolyn

To say my twin sister Carolyn is lucky is an understatement. She had a broken C-2 that had to be fixed. Dr. Kawakaki from Iowa City put rods in her neck. She had a physical occupational appointment yesterday. Doctor read fifty-two pages on her before she arrived. Doctor said “I know this might be morbid, but I have to tell you… The only people I have met with a broken C-2 were either On a ventilator, paralyzed, or dead.” My sister was astounded. She is walking, driving, making a quilt, and hosting Christmas. The doctor asked “How long were you in the hospital?” My sister was in recovery at 9:30 p.m. on a Wednesday. She was in the car ready to go home by noon on Thursday. My sister said “I am glad I had such a great surgeon.” I said “And tens of thousands of people were praying for you too."
