I just got home from running errands and got your ping, gate2wire. Thanks for the ping, and thank you for letting us know, abenaki; please keep us informed about 3D-Joy's condition, where she is, if we can help in any way, etc.

Pinging the DC Chapter to this bad news in post #25...

Prayers to 3D~JOY.

Rec'd a not from FReeper abenaki, who expects to hear from 3D-Joy's daughters tonight, and plans to start a thread then for 3D-Joy... let's be on the lookout for that. Meantime, prayers up from here!

Repeating the pointer to reply #25 and adding some info and pinging a few more FReepers.

I talked to abenaki a little over an hour ago. He said that 3D-Joy's ankle is injured, but he isn't sure about other injuries.

The fact that they hope to release her from the hospital in 4 days is a good sign. If she was seriously burned, they would likely want to keep her hospitalized for much longer.

Of course, these are preliminary reports and we don't know how complete and accurate they are.

I've had no luck contacting her daughter or son-in-law in the DC area and could not get a working phone number for her daughter and son-in-law in FL. The relatives are probably all in Richmond, so our best hope is that they update abenaki and he passes the info on.

I just hung up from talking to 3D-Joy's daughter.

Joy has had surgery for a shattered ankle. They are still examining her neck for a possible fracture. She will be in the hospital in Richmond until Sunday, the way it looks now.

Her car was "crushed" and her dog also suffered a fractured leg. Troopers took the dog to a shelter and has now been retrieved by the family.

3D-Joy wanted everyone to know she is all right and asked us all to carry on tonight without her.
