Nick has accident
Saturday, October 4th, 2008On September 30th, Nick fell on a piece of ice in our kitchen and fell hard. We were told in the emergency room that Nick had broken his tibia and fibula right as they join the ankle. Yesterday he had surgery on the ankle to correct the damage; they found that both broken bones had several other fractures as well. So, his ankle after surgery is now being held together with plates, screws and surgical pins. He will be using a walker for approximately the next eight weeks, they are going to place a removable “moon boot” on the ankle so he can check his foot daily for skin irritations or ulcers (this is common among diabetics).
So, please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He has had a rough time lately with his health, and he really didn’t need for this to happen.
