In a split second on the Fourth of July... I stepped into a small divot in a lawn.... ended in
two broken feet, a broken ankle bone, a hairline fracture in my left wrist and an ambulance
ride to the hospital!!! Managed to climb over red rocks all over the Valley of Fire, Nevada
and hike around Alaska for weeks, but a front lawn got the best of me!! After four days in
St. Margaret's Hospital and five full weeks in Cranberry Place Rehab, I am finally home!!!!
Home August 13th! Here is a self-portrait!! ;-) With my parents who have run around like
crazy helping me throughout this ordeal!! A huge thanks to them, my sister Meredith who
brought me good edible food, my niece who came and dyed my hair (a must!!), my two
great-nieces who always put a huge smile on my face when they came to visit, my friends
and other family members who kept in touch with me through visits, calls, Internet and
prayers, to my fellow patients at Cranberry Place who kept me encouraged and smiling,
and to all the incredible therapists, aides and nurses at Cranberry Place!!!
You all are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And to the nutrition that helped me heal in HALF the time
that the orthopedic surgeon predicted, thank you RELIV!!!
