Messinger Update

Doris Messinger (Marie) wanted to let us know about something that happened to her daughter Michelle. On September 27th, she ruptured her Achilles tendon, and on October 9th she had to have surgery, when they got in there they found more damage then the MRI showed. The tendon had completely pulled away from the bone, so the loose screw she had in her head ended up in her heel along with another one to reattach the tendon to the bone. Now whenever she flies she will set off the metal detector.

She will be off work for at least six weeks, she has a walking cast, but cannot put any weight on her foot, she can only use it for balance. She goes back to the doctor next month and they will take the cast off and she will wear a boot, and then will probably have physical therapy. Thank goodness one of my coworkers had a wheelchair and loaned it to us, because she is getting around with crutches and this wheelchair.

Hang in there Michelle. We are hoping for a speedy recovery.
