More pics of my accident

Hello everyone, 

ok, as I said before I would add more pics, so here they are. Some will look worse than others as the bruising will start to show more as days go by. But by the end of the pics, the last one is the best. I am so happy to be out of rehab and on my way home. Feeling great and most grateful to all who helped me along this road of getting better. 

The things you will not be able to see are the bruising that goes down my neck into my chest and lower. Other spots here and there where you will not be able to see, that even surprised me at times. 

I have decided to show a few of the accident but not all.

careful out there.

Another baby dove

Hello to all, 

Even though the accident I had, my lovely doves popped out another baby dove, it is grown and is waiting for its little friend who is still an egg for now. The new owner of the two babies is aware and waiting for them to be ready for their new home. 

Not sure why my doves are only laying one egg at a time now, they hatch and raise it just not two eggs at a time for some reason I don't understand. 

Here is the baby.

Here he or she is grown up

So now we wait for the second egg to hatch and when it is ready, both babies will have their forever home.

Love and Prayers,

The Accident

Hello everyone, 

This happened on the 8th of July 2024. Seems like a long time ago now. 

So how is everyone this lovely morning? 

We are fine. But I wanted to post and let you know about my accident.

I love riding my etrike, her name is Autumn, and she is a Liberty Trike, but one must never forget what can happen in the blink of an eye.  All it takes is one second when things are off and your balance is not what it should be or you are just not thinking in the blink of an eye. It is in the blink of an eye that this happened. 

I had been out for a lovely ride down to 310, turned and was started home, got home, and started up our steep driveway which I had ridden before with no problem. The front wheel got caught in the uneven driveway and the handlebar was jerked out of my hand, I reached up and grabbed it and had to have hit the throttle and the little bike turned around and headed down the driveway at an angle. I remember saying a prayer at the top of "drop", Dear God, please help me. I remember nothing until I woke at the hospital.

I went over the edge of our driveway and down about a 40-foot drop to the ditch and road below. My husband was standing on the driveway and saw the whole thing. When he got to me, he said I was unconscious, he went for a phone, and when he returned, I was yelling and moving around, said I could not breathe, and leaned me on my trike which was right beside me at the time. Waited for medics, who then took me to someplace on 310 hwy where a helicopter picked me up and flew me to trauma at Ruby Hospital where I woke up. 

My face was broken up; my nose was broken. My collar bone splintered and broken, 7 ribs were broken all on the left side of my body and my left kneecap was split all the way open and my tendon was removed. My right knee to the inside of the leg had a 3-corner deep tear and was hanging open. My head and neck are still bothering me, and I know it will take a long time to heal. 

All I know is that God protected me and is still helping me heal, I could have broken my neck from that fall or have been killed.

Following is a couple of pics of my accident. More pics will follow on different posts as time goes by.

The other side of my face

KNOW THIS:  God saved my life and has and still is protecting me from what could have happened. My body has healed so fast even the doctors are set back by how fast my recovery seems to be. I owe it all to GOD. 

On the lighter side of all this, I had started a diet for a few days before this happened, and my husband now calls this my " CRASH DIET ", somewhat painfully, but I have lost around 34 to 38 pounds so far. 

Love and Prayers,

Where have I been?

Hello everyone, 

Sorry, been away for a bit, I will explain what has happened here in a bit. 

I am doing ok with what all happened to me, I will have pics of what happened and of me as I am healing with the Lord's help. 

I will have pics of most all days in hospital and rehab as I get better. So please stay tuned for more to come as I have the strength to sit at the computer and plug away at trying to get my story out for all to read.

I took a tumble off the side of our driveway and dropped 40 feet down to the ditch and roadway below. This happened on the 8 of July at about midday. I was on my trike for a ride when this happened.

I split my left kneecap in half and removed the tendon on it, broke the left 7 ribs, broke the left collarbone, broke the nose, and most of the left and front of my face bones. I now have metal in my knee and face, have not heard how long it all will be there. 

Trust in the Lord to help us with everyday problems. I am alive because of Jesus and YES, he does answer prayer.

Love and Prayers, 

 Margo
