[VC Walcot] Low in hospital after crash

[John Stevenson]

Folks

Low was discharged yesterday afternoon and is home.

She has a broken scaphoid, cuts to her face, a sore head and plenty of other grazes and bruising, but is otherwise fine. She's been signed off work for two weeks and I suspect her biggest problem is going to be boredom!

All the best

Lou

Doubt you will get this in hospital apologies I could not pop down but I am away at the moment. I really do wish you a speedy recovery!

All the best keep your chin up.

Our thoughts are with you.
