Margie slipped on the icy sidewalk walking down from the bus stop. Film at 11!

Ouch! Hope she’s okay. Lemme know if you need us to run and get stuff from the house.
Uh oh! Hope there are no broken bones! Keep us all posted!
EEEP!
So that is a current photo and she is hooked up to all of that?
Yeah, two broken ankle bones. Surgery to follow.
I grabbed a supply of pastimes before I fled the house. Thx.
She’s in the ER, so, yeah, she’s hooked up to IV (and pain meds) and is on all the monitoring stuff.
Rrrg. Commenting on blob via BB sucks. Will provide info via Twitter (see sidebar).
Oh noes! Poor Margie! Poor Kitten! Poor Dave!
Get better quick, Margie! This is NOT an acceptible way to make Dave to all the work for Christmas . . .
Sending healing vibes and prayers!
It run’s in the family – I was 42 when I had my first (and only, not counting toes) broken bones – ankle (3).
Oh No! Get well soon Margie! Sorry to hear that you had a boo-boo!
UPDATE: So Margie is at home for a bit, taking a nap and enjoying her meds (though one of the pain meds she got at the hospital made her nauseous).
About half an hour we’ll be heading up to the Kaiser clinic adjacent to St Joseph’s for a meeting with the Orthopod, preliminary to surgery on her ankle in the next day or so.
Interesting — her leg is splinted all up above the knee, which makes travel a bit exciting (I had to go home for the mini-van, and she’s currently sitting kind of sideways across the back seats).
Getting up the two steps from garage to house was not fun. We’ll be camping out on the sofa bed in the family room for a while, as Margie won’t be negotiating the staircase. Nor driving herself anywhere, either.
The doctor recommended long rests on the beach in Hawaii with froofy drinks … and someone to wait on her. I can do that.
Ouch! Not fun at Christmas. Hope it mends quick.
However I was surprised at all the gizmos. I can’t help but wonder if that is part of the insurance problem.
SOP in ERs is to hook up for pulse, BP, and blood oxygenation, plus an IV drip for hydration. When she wasn’t sitting in an ER (and when she finally got her own hospital room this evening), none of that was hooked up. Though she’ll be on an IV again at midnight, since she can’t eat/drink anything after that.
I think some of the gizmos are there to protect the hospital and the doctors from liability as much as they are there for any real medical reason. Liability insurance and expensive gizmos raise the cost of treatment. The cost of treatment influences the cost of insurance. If I’m right, in an indirect sense the gizmos are indeed part of the insurance problem.
Yikes! Poor Marjie!
So sorry to hear this. Hang in there Marjie.
Can you rent those chairs that help you rise by levering you up?
(googles things) Maybe something like this:

Get well soon, Margie!
My dad broke his femur about 10 years ago, and my mom broke her tibia a couple of years after that. Now they both set off the metal detectors in the airport because they have elected not to undergo a second surgery to remove the pins and plates. If Margie gets some hardware to hold things together while they heal, she’ll have that to look forward to.
On a more positive note, I think the orthopedists have things pretty well figured out these days. Judging from my parents’ experience, she will have a few months of inconvenience but no permanent problems. I repeat: get well soon Margie!
The rest of us should be reminded that the ice and snow are pretty but potentially dangerous. Be careful everyone, we don’t want anyone else to be comparing scars with Margie!
