Hey guys. This is Bri, Paulette's daughter. I have a bit of sad news to share... Quite unfortunately, late last night, my mom missed the last step of the stairs. She managed to dislocate + fracture her ankle :'( The dislocation was absolutely evident...and she was in a lot of pain. The ambulance took her in.
She's scheduled for ankle surgery today. I am very, very worried about her recovery time. To those of you who would like to pray for her, wish her well, etc, please comment on this post. I'll be approving the comments so that she may see them when she's back at home.
Lastly, if you have any digi related questions/concerns, email me at: BeautyBloggerBri (at) gmail (dot) com
I won't be checking her email, but I always have mine open; I will do my best to help you.
Bri
Ooch! I am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with you and her.

So sorry to hear of Paulette's accident. I pray that her recovery will be quick and as pain-free as possible. I just had foot surgery and it will be a 6-8 week recovery...but the scooter has made it easier. Check out renting or borrowing one of those. Just be careful! Keep both hands on the bars! I hung a bag from the handle bars so I wouldn't be carrying things in one hand...tried that and fell. So just a word of warning! But they are great. :-)
ReplyDeleteyou are in my thoughts. Best wishes.EE
ReplyDeleteOh Paulette, I'm so sorry to hear about your accident. I'm sending you positive healing thoughts for successful surgery and a speedy recovery. Take care of yourself!

ReplyDeleteMany many big hugs,

ReplyDeleteOMG! So sorry to hear this. Lots of prayers, hugs, and well wishes. Please remember to take it easy like the doctors will tell you. When my hubby broke/dislocated his ankle on black-ice 11-yrs ago ... he didn't, and got sick on top of being on crutches.
ReplyDeletePraying!
So sorry this happened. Just read about it. Bri, try not to worry too much. I know, easier said than done. Paulette, hope you have a speedy recovery. Will say a prayer for you. Judy P.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to your Mom, but tell her chin up (or should I say foot up!) and she will be back in business before she knows it.
ReplyDeleteAs encouragement for her I also suffered an open fracture dislocation to my right ankle in 2000. At that time the fracture was so bad that the ankle was totally crushed and had to be completely rebuild (bionic now!). The surgeon was not hopeful for a walking recovery in my case but I proved him wrong. Just remember to have her listen and do EXACTLY what the doctors tell her and have her start to strengthen her upper leg muscles as soon as she can. She is going to need them for when she is learning to walk. I hope she has a good support team at home to lend a hand - it will really help her. Hope to hear from you soon with regards to her surgery outcome and speedy recovery!
Paulette, I hope everything heals quickly! Thoughts and prayers are with you!
ReplyDeletePaulette,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your accident. I will pray for you and a speedy recovery!
Oh no! Prayers and lots of good thoughts coming your way! Take as much time as you need to get well...we will all be waiting for you! Hugs and prayers!

I am so sorry to hear about your fall. Take it easy and best wishes for a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteTheresa (Tcee)
This is too bad - I am seeing this late - so I know she is probably in great hands and working to get that swelling down - she will have to have it elevated and iced after her surgery - hope she heals fast, Praying for a quick recovery.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so sorry to hear about this! I've broken both ankles,the first one was badly dislocated too and that was more painful than the actual break.Have a pin and plate in there permanently,and I will be praying for Paulette's surgery to happen very soon,also that it's completely successful.
ReplyDeleteLove & hugs

ReplyDeleteI havent been on so I have missed it so I apologise for not writing sooner
So sorry to hear about your tumble, Paulette.
ReplyDeleteBut... this just seems a little ironic with your last post being "doing a happy dance....". So I was just wondering if you were doing that 'happy dance' when walking down the stairs? Not a good thing to do on the stairs, LOL!
Seriously though, I really do hope you have a speedy recovery and don't suffer in pain too much. Just don't let the pain get out of control or it's way too hard to get under control again. Take care and hope to see you back here soon. :)
So sorry to hear this. Prayers for a speedy a and full recovery without to much pain and discomfort!
