Was taken to the hospital today with my leg. The doc thinks I might be sent back to the states. It’s sure giving me hell and I can hardly walk on it. Doc is going to send me to the 231st for examination & he’s going with me. Says I should be sent home. All the old boys were examined today for their trip back for a rest in the states.
