Lois Constant had a bad fall at her home last month. The first responders evaluated her injuries and had her transported via ambulance to St. Francis Hospital in Maryville. Doctors in the ER had X-Rays taken and determined, among other bruises and scrapes, a fractured hip. Surgery was needed to repair the damage and a hospital stay with daily physical therapy to follow. An army of well-trained dedicated professionals have teamed together to get Lois back to her original self. And although the hip is mending nicely, something seemed to be missing from her recovery treatment. It was decided it was time to bring out the big runs. When all else fails, get a lady who is down at the beauty shop. Every woman knows that a beautician can fix her up better and faster than a doctor. But getting Lois to the beauty shop would not be an easy thing.
Lori Jo Groom, owner of Main Street Cuts in Sheridan paid a surprise visit to Room 17 last Saturday afternoon, and armed with only her experience, comb, brush, hair dryer, and a small bag of magic potions, prepared to battle the humdrum and boredom that had beset Lois. A short time later, the transformation was complete, and behold, a new and improved model Lois. A nurse was overheard to say, "if Lois looked any better, they would have to send her home, and if she looked any younger, they would have to move her to pediatrics."
Lois wishes to convey thanks to Lori Jo and the staff at St. Francis Hospital for making Saturday afternoon a very special time.
