As some of you have probably heard, our Brooksie got into a pretty bad scooter accident in September when a car merged into her lane without looking and then drove away. In true Kerrie fashion, she took the majority of the damage. 

An ER visit, an X-Ray, an MRI and one visit to a super fancy football knee Dr later and the news is definitely overwhelming. She has a torn ACL, MCL, LCL and a torn meniscus as well as an impact fracture. This means surgery and a LOT of PT. Her surgery is scheduled at the end of this month and the Dr. expects she won't be able to put any pressure on it for about two months and doesn't expect a full recovery for up to nine months. To say this is a life changing event for our constantly moving independent friend is an understatement, at least for the next nine months.

This is where we need to ask you all for a little help if you can. She finally got MNcare figured out so that will help on the medical side, but with her being out of work for the foreseeable future any savings we had will dry up pretty quickly. My hope is that with the money we raise will cover things like a ramp so she can get in and out of the house (we have stairs at both entrances), setting up a recovery room for her (our room was is in the attic and that's not happening), any rent and bills that I can't and also, with any luck, be able to set her up with a little savings for things she was looking forward to before all this happened. 

Thank you all so much. I will be posting updates as things progress. Also, if you have been really missing some Kerrie time in your life now is the perfect time to get ahold of her cause she can't get away now. We will also be looking for people to help with rides to PT and such on days I have to work. 

Again, thank you all for the support.
