WillAffleckUW's Journal: Allison on crutches both surgeries done

So, my cousin Allison is now mobile, on crutches, after both surgeries from the Boston Marathon explosion caused shrapnel to hit her knee and leg.

The largest piece of shrapnel was the size of her hand.

She should be fine in a few weeks, will get updates from my Aunt Yanna and Uncle Len Saari who are staying with her to help out while she recuperates.

Glad to hear the Vancouver Sun Marathon and the Nelson BC marathon report large increases in people signing up. Living in Fear is what the (probably domestic) terrorists want.

It was her first marathon.

Wow. If she is able to run again but chooses not to, no one will blame her.

I really hope she is able to run again. But who can say?

It took her a long time to train to that level.

I "ran" the San Diego marathon ~15 years ago. I completed it under my own power.
A half marathon is just a lot more civilized. :-)
