Dear Brethren,
Darlene went to the foot and ankle specialist today. They do not see a break, but say she has torn her tendons and ligaments and has injured some nerves. He is recommending physical therapy and will see her back in two months. If she has not progressed he will order an MRI, and surgery. He is trying not to do surgery because it is a long drawn out healing process and does not want to do it IF it is not necessary. Please keep her pt in your prayers. Saturday will be six months to the day since she hurt her ankle, and she cannot walk on it without pain. She is now using a wheel chair quite a bit.
Bro. Ben

Bro. Ben,
Thank you for the update. I knew she had injured her ankle but was not aware of the severity.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her.

Thank you all who prayed for me.  The therapy worked well. I had to go for 4 months, that was a long time to take therapy, but it was needed and it kept me from surgery. God has been so good to me.
I was in a wheel chair back in Aug, 2007, unable to walk. I was deeply discouraged because I had been hurt and out of commission for 6 months at that time. I was thankful to be able to try Therapy.
I fell last Monday (Feb 11, 2007) down the side stairs of our new house. The workers had just gone home and we were cleaning up, I was descending the stairs when my ankle twisted ( the bad one that just healed .) I thought to myself...here we go again, I snapped it Feb 18 2007 and finished my therapy Dec 26 2007 and now Feb 11 2008 I twisted it real bad again, and then I commenced to fall down four steps and land on my hands and knees, I skinned my knee real bad on the gravel...Ouch! That seemed to hurt the most. I just sat there on my bottom in shock, I knew I was broken and could not get up. Ben and Bonnie ran to me and got e to my feet and prayed over me right then and there.
God did a mighty thing because I can walk, it swelled and I still have pain, but I'm up and walking. God is so very good to me. I'm so thankful to be able to walk. Praise the Lord!
Please keep me in your prayers.
Love and prayers, ~ sister Darlene ~

Dear Precious Sister Darlene,
Oh I am sorry you injured your other ankle...I just went through foot surgery and had my achilles tendon cut to make my leg move more freely...I can't tell you how this has affected my life, you learn to be patient for sure and not walking is very difficult when you have children to care for.
I have a walking cast boot thing the foot surgeon had me wear for 2 plus months now...that seemed to help a lot...
God bless and healing prayers will be lifted up for you!
With love,
Sister Penny

Sis. Darlene,
I'm so sorry that you have fallen again. Once we hurt our ankles, it seems it's very easy to twist them again. I will continue to pray for you!! Thanks for the update.

Dear friends,
Thank you for praying for my ankle.
Penny, it was the same ankle I hurt last year!  I was shocked! 
The Lord was gracious unto me. It is just twisted, not broken. It hurts some and swells a little, but it is OK. I'm so thankful!
Thank you for praying for me, ~ sister Darlene ~
