On Monday the 12th my mom broke her leg! She was walking down the ramp and stepped wrong on her leg and it snapped. She called for me and I ran out to see what was going on and found her laying on her back saying that her foot was just dangling there. So I called 911 and got looking at her leg and could see a huge lump and blood. At first I thought the blood must have been a scratch from the fall, but no, looked harder and it was her bone! After she got to the hospital and they did an x-ray they found that she had broken both bones about 5 inches above her ankle. So they got her into surgery that night and put a metal rod in. She was in a lot of pain but is doing a little better now. She's been in rehab learning how to get in and out of bed and on and off the toilet because she'll have to be in a wheel chair for 3 months.
I really wish that I would have thought to take a picture of her leg before the ambulance took her because it was actually kind of a crazy site! I will post pictures of her huge cast tomorrow because that's when she will be coming home!
