Hello everyone!  I made it down to this computer today so I thought I'd try to post an update.  My injuries ended up being a broken leg, a broken ankle, a sprained right arm & wrist, a cervical strain, a lumbar strain, and I did some damage to my knee.  I was bruised and scratched all over and pretty much sore from head to toe.  The ankle that I shattered is the same ankle that I had ligament reconstruction surgery on years ago, and the damage done to those ligaments, and the others in my ankle & knee is unknown at this time.  They can't really ascertain that until after the swelling goes down and the bones are healed.  They were just concerned with trying to reset the bone in the proper position (not fun) and getting it started on the healing process. 

It will probably be a couple of months or more before I know if I'm headed for more surgery or not.  I'm hoping and praying that will not be the case.

On a more positive note, the pain isn't as severe as it was a few weeks ago.  It's still pretty bad, but nothing like before.  So at least I feel like I am starting to heal some. 

To everyone that has sent me Get Well cards & emails, Thank you so much!!!
Your support and prayers mean a lot right now.
