Heidi Lynch has only one little sister, and that is me, Lani. We came from a multi-generational family spread from oldest to youngest by 21 years. Kelly is the daughter of our oldest sibling Robert. I was two years old, Heidi 5, when Kelly was born. Kelly has a little sister named Robyn. So Heidi and I are aunts to Kelly and Robyn. We were all so close we were raised like sisters. Which is why so many people get it wrong.

In reply to Aplateandsevenscrews. A much belated thanks for your post. I'm so sorry about your break. I hope your recovery is moving along as well as mine. I'm limping still and swelling is an issue, I saw the surgeon today and she said it will be 6 months before i seem normal. Three months to go. I wish you the very best. Tim

As much as I like what I hear on Prairie Home Companion and especially relish the comic skits, video adds almost nothing to the enjoyment of the same. Nevertheless, it satisfies my curiosity as to what it looks like.

Tim, looking at your poor foot makes me wince. We’ve missed you (a band of friends who always listen and post together during the show), even though we think Mark has done a good job. It’s just that, without your voice, way too much of the show is off-kilter.
I sprained my ankle last year. It was painful for weeks and weeks, still acts up, especially during my tap-dancing class. But I cannot imagine enduring what your ankle looks like. The only good to come of this experience is the clear lesson to the rest of us: garbage can pile up till the first robins appear. There is never a good reason to walk down a slippery driveway.
I didn’t know about the 3-week hiatus and am most displeased to learn of it, although it will give you some welcome time to recuperate. Please work hard on your physical therapy so you can come back fit and feisty.

Dear Tim,

I’m a faithful listener to WCCO radio. When I tuned in early Monday morning on February 9th, Dave Lee was just announcing that you were being checked out in the ER for a possible ankle fracture.

I shared the news with my husband as we ate our breakfast, and felt so sorry for your terrible mishap. That very morning, at approximately 11:15am, I also took a spill at the end of our driveway as I was about to cross the street to our mailbox. It was my right ankle that was dangling and floppy…the best way to describe, along with what felt like an electrical charge up and down my leg and foot. No one in sight to come to my rescue, also no one home as my husband was shopping at Home Depot.

The adrenaline set in and I was about to start my climb (aka dead man’s drag) followed by a step up, followed by another tackle with the front door, over the threshhold, through the foyer and kitchen, to the portable phone.

I called my husband’s cell phone, which he had silenced…and left a horrible message for him. A call to a daughter followed, and she came to my rescue asap…and eventually we decided to call 911. I was transported to Fairview Ridges Hospital with a diagnosis of right fibula ankle fracture. Surgery followed on Wednesday afternoon and I returned home late Friday afternoon with a plate and seven screws holding my ankle together, a walker and wheelchair, along with non-weight bearing instructions. I have a follow up appointment tomorrow with my surgeon.

I can certainly relate to your pain and discomfort. Wishing both of us a speedy, healing process. You are in my prayers.

Tim –

I broke an ankle in November (result: a plate and 7 screws), then broke my hip 11 days later (result: 3 screws).

What did I learn? Don’t try hopping using the “good” leg only – always use a cane, crutches, a walker or a strong shoulder for support. My dancing career is over before it had a chance (although I was a lousy dancer before the accidents, so I guess it didn’t have much of a chance). Once you get both feet on the ground (literally), get all the physical therapy sessions allowable – it’s work and it’s pain but it’s also the only way to get back to where you were. It’s just takes much longer than youi hoped.

Hi Tim–

I broke both bones in my wrist last winter after falling on my icy driveway. When they tell you 6 months before you feel “somewhat normal”, believe it. Hang in there and be diligent with your therapy. You will reap the rewards of your hard work!!

Hope to you are back with Garrison and the gang soon!

Best Wishes-
Kathy
