Niagara of the West-Shoshone Falls

Shoshone Falls, so beautiful!
Me, at Shoshone Falls-the Niagara of the West. Every spring they let more water over the falls and this is the most I've seen in the 3 years I've been here. It was so gorgeous! (It was really windy, that is why my hair looks funny.)

More Ankle Stuff

My swollen ankle, a couple of days after I had out patient surgery to remove the screw.

My left ankle with the word "NO" written on it, so they did the surgery on the correct foot.

The incision after I had the staples out.

The incision from when the screw was removed. It really looked like a screw you would get at a hardware store and it was 2 1/4 inches long!

This is the bruise from the I.V. when I had the screw removed from my ankle. It looks really cool but did not hurt!

This is the boot I had to wear for 7 weeks!

Roll About


This is me on my "roll about". In this picture I am actually on my way to return it because I don't need it anymore, so it was a momentous day! I used this a lot when I was first in my walking boot. It was easier to get around the library and so much better than crutches! As you can see, I would put my injured leg on the ledge and scoot around with my good leg. It caused big stirs in the library as I would roll around. Our building supervisor teased that she needed to put a special parking permit for me out in the parking lot. She even asked if I wanted her to rig me up a motor so I didn't have push it myself! I'm so glad I'm not a pioneer.
