My Mother and Her Broken Neck

My mother came very close to dying in 2007 when she fell and broke her neck.  All my siblings went to see her, but for some reason I could not get away.  I was about to go, when we discovered she has headed to California for a spell while she recovered.  She stayed with Dianna most the time.  However I did travel with her to Utah for doctor appointment in January 2008.  It was while she was in Utah that these X-rays were taken.  She has a screw in her neck.  It is actually very large, about two inches.
