Boy, I have been away for a few days and I just came back to the forum today
and read of a few prayer requests that are very serious needs.
I was just getting ready to leave work last Thursday and was getting ready to go down the stairs from the second floor to the warehouse floor, it is a steep stairway with about 40 steps in it.
The stairway has metal edges on the steps and my left foot slipped off of the first step and I was started slipping the whole length of the stairwell.
The thing is my right foot & leg decided to stay on the first step and I ended up
dislocating my ankle & fracturing my right Tib-Fib above my ankle.
I started to straighten my leg out and saw that it was at a weird angle and the pain was tremendous. They were surprised that the bone wasn't sticking out the side.
I took an ambulance ride to the hospital where they put me on an IV and took some X-rays. My co worker called my wife and she thought it was a prank call.
The doctor said that he needed to "Set" my leg under "conscious sedation"
they closed the curtain and started to administer a drug tha would place me under sedation but still awake.
I thought I was having a bad acid trip, funky purple rooms, weird sensations.
He said I almost came off the bed when he yanked my leg and ankle in place as I screamed ouch and Jesus!
It wore off after about ten minutes, good thing was I saw my wife standing beside the bed holding my hand.
I was hooked up to morphine and was allowed 3 mg every 15 minutes if I needed it-I did.
I finally got into the OR Sat morning where they put me under and cut my leg open and put a plate and screws into my leg.
I am splinted up and on bed rest for two weeks where after the swelling goes down I will be put into a cast for two months.
Thing is on Wednesday at family prayer I said that the Apostle stated that we through much tribulation must enter the Kingdom!
Woo Hoo! I through the grace of God was able to say Thank you Jesus!
Could you all say a prayer that God will help the healing process along and that perhaps there would be no complications?
I also stated that perhaps now that I am laid up for a while, God may want to speak to me-pray I am open.
I appreciate you all very much and appreciate your prayers.
Woa, Morphines great when you need it, iI am on Oxy Codin!
Wheres the hospital bed smiley?
