Hi to all my friends on the lists,

	Most of you do not know that apart from my daughter Jacqui, I have another
lady in my life as well. Her name is Stephanie and we've been friends for
almost 20 years. If you look at the pics lower down on this page you will
see 2 pics  of her with Reg:
<http://www.oldengine.org/members/evans/reg/index.htm>

	She was involved in a pretty bad motor accident early last Friday and is
in hospital in Durban (about 600 Kms away). Firstly, do not be concerned,
she is "out of danger" and awaiting operations in hospital. She has a
broken leg, broken foot, broken ankle (both legs are affected but I'm not
sure which injuries are on which side - does that make sense?), multiple
broken ribs, quite bad facial lacerations and pretty much her whole body is
bruised, cut and sore. The paramedics had to use the "Jaws of Life" to get
her out of the vehicle. The docs  need to operate on the foot and ankle but
need the swelling to go down first so we do not know when the op will take
place (it may have been today but I'm still waiting for contact for today).
It's a government hospital and she cannot keep her cell phone with her so
my only contact is via another friend who visits a few times a day and has
Stephanie's cell phone with her. When she is there I can call her. The only
problem is that this friends mother is also in intensive care (totally
unrelated to the accident) and dying so I do not want to be too much of a
pest as she has problems of her own and is being totally fantastic under
the circumstances.
	For those of you on Facebook (Dave, it's a site on the net :-)) there is
quite a bit of info on Colleen Venter's page (The friend I mention). It's
here - look on her wall - There are also pictures of Stephanie's wrecked
vehicle  :

	I AM in contact (but not there) but, this has been discussed and I am of
more use to her right here at the moment. I'm on standby should I need to
go to Durban.

	O.K. Here's the reason for this mail. Stephanie knows that I have many
friends on these 2 lists -  would any of you mind sending a short e-mail
message wishing her well to me. My brother is passing through Durban on
Thursday so I'd like to ask him to print them out and give her a bunch of
"get well soon" wishes from all over the world.

	OldEngine list guys just send normally. SEL list members, I only get the
"Digest Version" in 24 hours time and that will be too late to get to my
Bro to print out so it will be better to send direct to me "off list" at
the address on this post.

	One more request to those of us who say our prayers - please add Stephanie
to yours. Thanks guys and gals - that's all for tonight.

Love you all!
Jerry
