Stacie's Accident









Well I have to say that I am not the greatest at keeping up with this blog. Something happened in my life and Stacie's that was huge and that happened over two months ago and here I am now getting around to writing about it. As most of you already know Stacie broke her leg while windsurfing near the end of August, freak accident for sure and more freakish was the time that it took for us to get her off the water. I think that by the time that she got to the hospital it had been about 3.5 hours...... Long time..... So the injury was having fractures just below her knee resulting in getting surgery of some screws tied all together with a metal plate. (Notice pen marks on knee and leg to make sure that they get the correct leg for the operation) She has just recently starting to put weight on her leg again and is doing great. Her recovery has been about bending that knee and pool sessions with a list of different exercises to do and now starting to ride the stationary bike.




So in her spare time she has started to knit and is learning to play the guitar, I have learned how to be a nurse and I will say that this has brought us closer together than ever. She is one strong woman and I hope that her recovery goes as fast as it can!!!
