side-swiped by another car just before reaching us.
The car struck me on the head and I was knocked un-
conscious immediately. I must have had a few glim-
merings of intelligence for I had a vague impression of
giving my name, and address. I felt myself being handled
and finally heard a man's voice say "She'll come
through this alright". Then I felt myself being
moved along smoothly but heard no sounds. At last
Dec. 25. I came to enough to know that I was in a hospital
and my sister was in a bed near by. And I heard her
say she had asked Dr. Toland to take care of me and he
had sent us to St. Vincent's Hospital. The next thing I
knew, I was listening to a Christmas Carol being sung
by women, and repeated over and over again. (4a.m.) Came
to permanently after that with a terrific headache
and so dizzy I had to hold on to the bed to stay in
Dec. 25 - Jan. 15 - St. Vincent's Hospital. Until Dec. 27 in an
ward (4 beds) facing North, with a wonderful view toward
the Hollywood Hills. Couldn't stand the noise, especially
conversations in the other half of the ward. On the
evening of Dec. 27 we moved into two separate rooms
facing on the Court where we were very quiet. A fract-
ured skull with terrific headaches at night made
it necessary to lie flat and do nothing. On Jan. 10 it
began to rain and was very cold. I finally began to sit
up a little on Jan. 12 and left the hospital on Jan. 15.
I went to I had heard one or two Androsen Wanderers and
a Black Phoebe in the court.
