Friday Funny 12-10/2021 (Or is it Monday Musings?)

 

Monday is an anniversary, (milestone?)  It marks four years since I fell down the stairs at the Presbyterian church in Wrangell, and broke my left leg in 4 places between the knee, and ankle. 

I will never be the same. This is mainly because I have a titanium rod in place and screws on either end to hold it there. 

But I have some other effects as well. I'm very careful on stairs, and I get nervous when I don't have a railing to hold. I can feel some of the hardware through the skin at my ankle, so I protect that area from being bumped, ouch, and I don't run, hop, skip, jump, because it's too jarring to my leg. 

I'm very grateful to the evacuation service, DAN, EMTs, doctors, nurses, friends, and family that took part in my care. It's because of them that I am whole today, it's been a long haul recovery. I shudder to think about how that fall could have been so much worse, and I try not to contemplate the possibilities. 

I'll wear my commemorative hoodie to mark the day.

If you want to know the details, this is where the adventure begins in a previous blog post about how it all went down. See what I did there? 😁There's a link at the end of each post to lead you to the next episode.
