I fell from the top step of a tall step ladder while putting some bowls away we had used for the Legacy Club lunch.   Both of my feet were on the top step and i was putting clean bowls from counter up onto the second shelf of a cabinet. I lost my balance and fell backwards.   I landed on my left heel, which shatttered.  I will know if I need surgery on Wednesday when i see the podiatrist.   My knee is also very tight and injured by being jammed from the foot hitting the ground.  So bending it to walk on crutches is painful.  I am in a splint cast to keep it immobilized.   My right leg has a pretty deep gash and numerous scratches from landing on the porcelain bowls that came down with me.  Lou said he was picking pieces out of my leg.  I dont remember that.  Katie was such a great caregiver and got me bandaged up and into a wheelchair (with Lou and Aaron) and off to the ER.  Rev Aaron Lee took me and stayed with me every single  minute.   He was so patient and caring and concerned.  I had numerous xrays and a CT while in the ER.  I didn't get to see them nor was i given any details except confirmation of broken heel and it may or may not require surgery.  The comments made during our 5 hours there led me to believe it is bad bad.  I cant go anywhere because i have stairs inside and outside and i cannot do stairs at all.  I learned that Tuesday night when we got home.   Stairs are not an option right now.  So i will stay in until my Wednesda  appointment. Please pray that i don't need surgery and that the pain gets better.
