His recovery from the bullet that ripped through his chest, wrist and thigh has been rapid. His punctured lung has re-inflated and is healing beyond all original expectations. Each day he is up and about for a bit longer. Half of the stainless steel wires used to stitch together his torn thigh have been removed. Doctors predicted that the Governor would leave the hospital in a week or so, should...

...three pints in five days, on a low-salt but otherwise normal diet. "That's pretty fast," says Dr. William Bormes, "but we wanted the blood as fresh as possible." Only four days after her third "donation," Mrs. Mauldin went on the operating table. Dr. Bormes opened her chest, slipped a tiny, fingertip knife into her heart, and opened the leaves of the balky valve. The only transfused blood Mrs. Mauldin got was her own three pints.
