Hi All~When I set this *spot* up last week, I was thinking how great to have a spot to post my pictures and fun family happenings.. Wow!! Little did I know my first "happening" would be my own crisis!! Apparently, I've used up my share of the "Luck of the Irish". Oh, well..here's my story... Thursday morning during one of our Bitterroot "Spring" snowstorms, I slipped on the ice while getting in the car to go to work. It happened so fast, with my left leg getting all twisted beneath me. As I fell to the ground, I heard a nasty cr-a-a-c-k and felt a horrific pain in my ankle and lower leg. After screaming for my neighbor got no response, and thinking I had left my cell phone in the house (it turned out to be in my coat pocket the whole time...ugh), I franticly drug myself into the house to call for help. I reached Bret who in turn called 911 and also got in touch with our neighbors. After morphine and a rough ambulance ride, I got to experience our beautiful new ER at Marcus Daly Hospital, to find I have three different breaks. The tibia is broken and there are two more fractures in the ankle. So.....I am now laid up at home trying to keep up with pain pills......I will have surgery Wednesday...they say "screws, plates, and more screws". From there, it looks like nine to twelve weeks before it will be weight bearing and then therapy.....Yikes......
