I received a phone call from Nora in Iowa last night, telling me that she, her Border Collie, his leash and a squirrel had a major set to, and she now has a badly fractured ankle...  She was taken by ambulance to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester (MN), had it set and casted and is home now, but is a seriously not happy camper...  I'm sure she would love to receive some "Get Dancing Soon" posts from all her many friends here on rfalcomcam, to cheer her up!!

Thanks a lot!  And let me be the first to say, "Nora, we love you -- please heal quickly!!

Oh my, how awful for Nora, she's not a sit-a-rounder and do-nothing-er. Heal well Nora and soon you'll be kickin it again!.

Oh no!  Scary for sure.  Well, I'm glad to hear she's going to be alright!

Nora...sending you healing thoughts...hope you're-literally-back on your feet soon!

 :hurt:

Speedy recovery for Nora!

Sending thoughts your way, Nora, for a speedy recovery!

I fractured an ankle once. You should be up and around in no time. Take this opportunity to rest up!  :wave:

Darn squirrel..  Heal soon.

Nora, feel better soon!!!

Hi Nora,

Get well soon and maybe you can pass the time with embroider a falcon or other birdies,
I 'm not joking,I always want to have the time to do things like knitting or crochet little things.

Greetings Carla :rose: :rose: :rose:

So sorry to hear about your ankle!  However, now you can keep up on all the cams, updates, and watches during this busy time of the year without a hint of guilt!

Get  better soon, Nora.  Think of this time as an opportunity for Joe and Billy Bob to take care of YOU.

Nora, I'm sorry about your ankle...must be driving you crazy!  I hope it heals quickly and you can get back on your feet soon.

Nora, I hope your ankle heals fast and that time passes quickly till you're up and around again.

Best of luck with your recovery! May you find plenty of activities to keep you happily occupied, and the company of family and friends (and occasionally yourself) to help keep you in good spirits! Heal quickly!

Thanx so much everyone, I see I have a lot of catching up to do, haven't been on much the last week and a half.  Broke two bones right above the ankle and dislocated the ankle, surgery tomorrow.   :oops: I appreciated all the well-wishes, you're a great bunch!  :wave:

Good luck with your surgery tomorrow Nora!

Will be thinking about you, Nora - I hope it goes smoothly and as painlessly as possible!!

Hey, Lil'Sis!

You know I'll be thinking about you today!  I know you are strong and will come through with flying colours!  Good luck and talk with you soon!!  And when you need that physiotherapy, just call!!   :2thumbsup:  I could do with another trip to Iowa!!   :clap:

Your Mid'Sis! 

Hi Nora ,Hope you get better soon !

      Greetings Carla :rose: :rose: :rose:

We're thinking of you, Nora!!!!

Update on Nora in Iowa:

I was just talking with Nora.  She's in the hospital and has had her surgery and it went very well.  She sounds good -- a little wobbly, a little sleepy -- but good, and still has that sense of humour!  Tomorrow she will have a few more xrays, be seen by the surgeon and assessed by a physiotherapist or an occupational therapist, and will, hopefully, be allowed to go home.  She says hi to everyone and asked me to thank you all for all your good wishes!  Her main problem?  No Internet, No bird cams!!  :hysterical:  Joe will definitely have to get her out of there soon!!  :2thumbsup:

Anne in Toronto

Sending healing wishes to you Nora! Speedy recovery! Thank you Anne for the update.

Good News!  Thanks for the update Anne.   :wave:

Thanks for the update, Anne.
Hope Nora get well soon, with stronger muscles in her legs and her arms to control leashes, border collies and squirrels!
Hugs to both of you
Mirta

Another update on Nora in Iowa

Nora had her surgery on Friday, now has metal screws, plates, pins holding her ankle together and is in a non-weightbearing cast for 6-8 weeks, so, of course, is still on crutches.  Yikes!  When Nora does something, she always does it well!!  But she is more comfortable now that everything is stable.  And is glad to be home!!  Now she will have to join us favoured few, who have to go through the wand/manual search at airport security!  ;)

Anne in Toronto

Ah, yes, I know it well with my double knee replacements!! Good to hear that she's home and everything's been stabilized (with all that hardware!) and hope all goes well for her in the weeks to come.

Thanks Anne for keeping us updated on what's going on with Nora.   :clap:

Heal quickly Nora!   :yes:

Oh my sounds Sci-Fi to me. Sheesh, feel better Nora, so sorry this had to happen. I hope I never have to go through that....EVER! Heal well!

 :hurt: Ouch! Happy healing!  ;D
