Fish Catching Travel
I want to take this time to go completely off topic. But this is important. One of the nurses my wife works with in the ER at Detar Hospital in Victoria has suffered a serious injury, but is facing it with the great strength and determination that we all know she has. Susan Pitsch Dorsett is a long distance runner, speed skater, likes to fish, and has even run the Tough Mudder.

17 days ago she was run over by a car. She suffered one of the most horrific leg injuries that my wife has seen in 30 years of emergency medical work. This was a “alleged” criminal act for which the “alleged” perpetrator was arrested. As an attorney I am forced to use the term “alleged” for what is nothing short of an “alleged” heinous act.
At this point she has already had 6 or 7 surgeries, with untold to come. And so ironically for a runner and athlete, her lower leg was amputated below the knee on Monday. She has suffered greatly, and so have her children and loved ones. But she is a woman of strength and great will, and folks have rallied around her. Folks I have never asked you for money for any reason, but I am asking you now. Please click on this link, read a little more about Susan, and give. There are times in this life when we all need to step up and help others, and this is one of those times. Please help her out with a couple of bucks, it is the least you can do, and you will be a better person for it.
And a final word to Susan. You can do it girl. I am so impressed with your inner strength and how you are handling this thing. And I know you will be back running faster than any person on the face of this earth who has suffered as you have. So keep pushing on, we are all rooting for you. Get well soon!
Good Luck and Tight Lines
