Miss Minda is in the Hospital

OMG
That's awful news!

Please let MM know she is in our thoughts and prayers!
and give her a ((beepbeep!)) hug for me!

12 screws, including one that goes from the front of her ankle all the way through the back, 4 inch titanium plate, and 15 staples to hold the incision together. Xrays/CatScan on her blog.

She'll be on her butt for 2 to 4 weeks before she'll but ready to go back to work, and another 6 to 8 weeks after that before she will be allowed to put any weight back on it.

She's in a soft cast now, and will be getting a regular rigid cast at the end of the 2nd week, unless there's any swelling that hasn't gone down or an infection at the wound site.

We'll be consulting a lawyer to see if we can recoup lost wages and out of pocket expenses (it's odd what insurance won't pay for. You can get a wheelchair, but if you need a transfer bench to get into the tub to shower, it's out of pocket to the tune of 300-500 bucks. Go figure).

Other than that, she's doing pretty well, and they've given her good drugs to cope :)
