airann 1 #1 April 28, 2002 I was on a memorial jump and came down with the plane so I went to Carol as soon as I got down.Last evening on the sunset load- Carol, your President, was hurt recovering from a down plane. She came down hard and I sat with her on the ground as did her close friends and boyfriend. Her left leg is broken femur and tib/fib. right leg maybe, pelvis -not sure.She was hangin in there as I got in the ambulance with her till they kicked me out.At the time- the plan was to take her to Brenhnam, how do you spell Brenehem... You know what I mean... There was an Orthopedic on staff there at the time, said the EMT.The super all around good guy and local EMT, that took care of me was there instantly- and she was immobilzed and was stable and talking some. She was hurting but working the problem. I will have some more news and you may have a contact to call to find out new info - my information is from last night. I am on my way to the dz now. Those with new info might want to post it here as Carol has a huge amount of friends in the Houston area.Ann ~ www.AirAnn.comAnyone want a Kitten?

airann 1 #5 April 29, 2002 Ok- Only break in her leg was the femur a rod was surgically implanted."She had surgery early this morning the put in a rod to repair it, so it looks like it is going to be ok. She does a two pelvis fractures as well, but the doctors believe they are not going to be a problem as they are not on load bearing areas."Ah... sounding good so far, this above from her boyfriend. A wonderful charming and fun loving gentleman -Russell. Heal fast my buddie!! I will tickle you in the bed!!Ann ~ www.AirAnn.comAnyone want a Kitten?

AggieDave 6 #12 April 30, 2002 I know everyone's probably wondered why I've stayed out of this thread so far, I've been kinda upset about it and just didn't feel like talking about it here, just with my Aggie brothers and sisters.She will be fine, but I don't know how this will effect her being in the sport from now on. She was injured a month or so ago with a very bad opening and her mom HATES the fact she skydives and she makes sure that Carol knows that on many occasions. She will be fine eventually, the Dr.s put a rod in her leg and her pelvis will heal, eventually, but it sucks right now.If anyone wants to send some flowers or a get well card, PM or e-mail me and I will make sure that you get the information. I don't want to post that stuff in a public setting, since I don't think she would appreciate me (or anyone else) doing that.A human cannonball, I rise above it allUp higher then a trapeze, I can fly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
