I have not had time to post lately and I would like to put out some info now. Last Friday, my dad came up to get me and asked me to get get mom out of the stream. Well, she wasn't in the stream. She had jumped up on our dam where it is about 16" high and proceeded to the other side which is a bunch of overgrown bushes and weeds. There was a small wash out area and she landed upright placing her head about 1 foot below the top edge of the concrete dam and behind the bushes. When I got down there, I could hear her but couldn't see her. As I went closer a head appeared. Since she was straight down I couldn't lift her out and had to make a call to EMS. About 6 people arrived and the had a vest they placed on her and lifted her up and onto a backboard for a trip to the hospital. X-rays showed that she had a crack in her pelvis and required a week stay that included physical therapy so she wouldn't become stiff and to allow her to walk. It turns out that it will heal on its own over a 4 to 6 week period and she is sore. I am going to try to post a photo of my find on this blog. I hope it works out, since I have never posted a photo before this.
Later
