Hey all. Just in case anyone has been wondering where I have been and are not aware of what is going on, here is the latest update. I fell on some stone steps outside the main enterance of meers resturaunt on sunday, may 27. I had three breaks, breaks on both sides of my right ankle and a break at the back of the right ankle that was pinning that tendon pretty bad. I had surgery on may 30th up at integris baptist by their trama specialist, Dr sands, to have a plate, screws and pins put in to fix it.

My dad and oldest niece are visiting me from kansas city, and my cousin, her husband and daughter are visiting from texas. We went out to lunch at meers resturaunt. After we finished eating, we started to head to our vehicles. We used the steps outside the main entrence. I looked at the steps, and i saw where they werent cement, but unlevel natural stone steps, and that they were a bit steap for my liking. So i held onto the rail for dear life and crept down those stairs as slow and carefully as possible. When my foot began to touch the last step, i dont know if my foot hit a slick spot i couldnt see, or if it was a part of the step that might have deteriorated away by the weather. it just happened so fast. next thing I know, my foot goes out from underneath me and I go down, still holding onto the rail. As soon as it happened, someone waiting to get into the restaurant ran inside to let them know what had happened, and another person who had cell service let us use their phone to call 911. It took the restaurant 15 minutes to send someone out to check on me. And the guy said he was a staff member for the restaurant and said he was an emt for the resturaunt. Once the ambulance arrived, I was taken to Comanche memorial hospital, had xrays and a ct scan and found out that I had three breaks in my ankle, and because they were so severe, they sent me to a trama specialist up at integris baptist in okc. Since having the surgery to repair my ankle, I have been to Jim thorpe rehabilitation at integris southwest in okc, and I am now currently at south pointe skills facility in okc.

Today I went for my first post op appointment, and things are healing up good. I will most likely be up here for the six more weeks. The doctor wants me to come back in six weeks so I can be fitted for a walking boot. but at least now I can have a break from my current boot for a bit each day. Doc said as long as I wear the boot for six hours during the day, and then when I go to bed, I can take my boot off for the rest of the day as long as I prop it up of course.

I just wanted to let you all know that I am doing okay, and that I'm still alive. I will post another update here in a few days ^.^
