A New Twist

As many of you know, Marti is an administrator of a nursing home and rehab center.  She was talking to her staff this week to expect many admissions for the rehabilitation services because of the major snow storm we had two days ago.  There are many icy spots and people fall, break bones and need help getting healed and back to normal.

This morning Marti was walking across the parking lot to get to her building and she slipped on some ice and fell down.  She got up and her ankle hurt too bad to put weight on it.  Fortunately the truck that was coming to salt and sand the parking lot came by and the driver helped her get to her office.  Talk about bad timing and irony...

Marti called me and said she twisted her ankle and it hurt pretty bad.  She had some of her nurses tape it up and put it on ice.  I left work and drove up to her office.  This is how I found her when I got there.

It took quite a while but I finally was able to get her out of her office and we drove over to here.

 

After the X-rays and a visit with the ER doctor, the result was a spiral fracture of her ankle.  Six to eight weeks to heal and a consult with an orthopedic doctor early next week.  

But will this keep Marti down?  Here is her new "office" for the near future.

How is that for a new twist?

I promised her this time next year, we'll be someplace WARM where there is no SNOW and ICE!
