I must apologize for my typing sometimes, as I broke my wrist about 4-5 years ago along with my elbow and several fingers falling off a ladder. I had a ladder against a 20 ft. bush that need trimming desperately and asked Elizabeth to hold it for me. It started to slip and instead of quickly going down the ladder to safety, I jumped backwards. If I had gone straight down the ladder, I would have injured Elizabeth rather badly. Instead in a flash of conscience, I decided to jump instead on to the pavement. Hence, the injury to my arm, wrist and hand. I was in physical therapy for about 18 months, 2-3 times a week. My doctor said I could never use my hand ever again. I couldn't bend my fingers, nor move my wrist. I told the doc I needed to type for the ladies on bcsupport.org, as they needed me, and he just gave me a sympathetic look. Sometimes when I type now, I think my fingers are hitting the keys, but I don't have the correct control over my fingers to hit the keys hard enough. Often, I make typing errors because of this and I have to go back and do a sentence over. In the process, frequently, I mess up a sentence, or thought, or leave out a word. Like all of us, I have time constraints and forget to do spell checks, or even read over what I have written. I am sorry. So, please forgive me.

For those who might be late comers to this board, Dory was a poster who we will remember as one who gave of herself so others survivors might smile. She always kept this board moving with her inspirational poems, jokes and riddles. Most will give Dory credit for energizing this board. She was an inspiration to everyone on this board. In that spirit, let us
continue to post in Dory’s memory so she might smile down on us and give us the same inspiration. Therefore, we have named the board, Dory's Board, in her memory. 11/11/01 (Dory was the first to call attention to the significance of 9/11, re: WTC tragedy, i.e. 911 for emergency). Let me be the first to note all the ones in the above date, indicating she was No. 1 on our board.
