The fall gave me a spiral fracture of the right tibia just above the ankle. I spent five days in the hospital while they got me stabilized and cast; was unable to referee for the fall high school girls and college women's seasons; got the cast off my ankle on December 3 and will see the podiatrist on January 14 to see if I am discharged or remain under care. Now I have to rehab the right leg and ankle so that I can walk, climb, stand for longer periods of time to be able to resume refereeing.
I think the respose I'm looking for is oooooooohh! That hurts just thinking about it? Tell the doc to give you a good report and get back on the stand ASAP!!!! Will be praying for a good report!
