Jodi went into surgery at 11:00am, and by this evening already had three therapies out of the way. She will be restricted to bed for a week, returning for a physical therapy appointment next Wednesday.

Across the hall from Howell is current Boiler walkon Hannah Anderson, who went in for work on her knee at 1:00pm this afternoon. Both are reported to be sore, but in good spirits.
