I would like to apologize for not coming earlier to the website to post an update, but as you might imagine, I have spent a lot of time at the hospital in Phoenix with Frank.
St. Joseph's Hospital was great and so were (are) the Casa Grande Police and EMTs. Thank you great professionals for helping my husband in his time of need.
Posted above is a picture of Frank that I snapped Christmas morning before the family came over for breakfast and about 8 hours before the incident. Frank is reading the paper at the new table that he built incorporating a piece of Italian marble handed down to me by my grandmother. Like many of you, our front room was a "formal living room" or a "shrine" that was seldom used. We think it has more utility as his home office. Now when Frank speaks with you from home you will know where he is seated. (What does this have to do with Frank's recovery? Well, I want to remind everyone that this is what Frank will look like after he heals up.)
Frank came home from St. Joe's this afternoon. Unless something shows up later there are no major internal problems. His ribs are very tender, he has two black eyes, a broken nose, a lip that had to stitched up in several places and big blocks of bruising all over his face. The beating left a scary appearance which will fade with time. Frank is making great improvements daily and wants to meet his appointments as soon as possible. He may feel well enough to be able to make calls tomorrow.
Please forgive me if I am a bit slow on the email responses for the next couple of days as I will have to play nurse for awhile and can't Blackberry all day. Once more, Frank (and I) want you to know how honored and touched we are for your outpouring of love and support.
Regards,
Janice
