RVing With The Good And The Bad.

Earlier this week, Donna and I did the Riverwalk along the Colorado River and all the casinos.

Wonderful weather, and a pretty long trek too.

The Colorado Belle casino is shaped like an old riverboat.

It is nice and deluxe inside...like all the casinos here, or in Vegas.

Here is a strange statue we came upon along the trail.

We stopped at 4 casinos and signed up for their players club cards.

The Golden Nugget was our last stop.

Donna got a nice coffee mug there, and I got 5 bucks to play free in the slots.

I turned that into $26.00! Will wonders ever cease?

It was a good day.....

Then on Wednesday, we went geocaching and we found our third cache. It was called 'The Guiding Light', and it was on a hilltop fairly close to the airport here in Bullhead City.

Donna found it and were having a good day. We were happy and enjoying each other and this lifestyle, heading down the hill towards the truck..

Then Donna slipped on some of the loose desert rocks, twisted her right foot, and down she went. She heard and felt the pop that you really do not want to hear. She broke her Fibia, Tibula, and the bone that they attatch to. Her foot was 'free floating'.

Thank God there was a couple of Good Samaritans passing by and stopped. I had help getting her into the truck and to the hospital.

Pain meds, xrays, and a splint. We spent the evening in the ER. She got admitted to a room at 9:30PM.

In the ER.

Her right foot. Looks not right.

 These shots really look bad!

Finally got into the OR at 1145 PM Thursday. Finished surgery about 1 AM Friday. They put plates and screws into her broken bones on both sides of her foot.

Time to heal now. She is on good pain meds and is drowsy most of the time.

Saw the Physical Therapy folks today and walked a little using a walker. Can put no weight on the foot for 4 or 5 weeks.

Hope to go home tomorrow.

OK. I just added the xrays.

Before surgery.

And after the surgery.

Metal woman!

Just another 'life experience'

Life is still GOOD!
