TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS FW: THANK YOU! And an Update on Ankle saga

A  thank you note from Judy to all who were there on Saturday's run 

 

TO ALL THE TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILER friends who helped me on Sat on the Vlakkenberg trail:

 

..Liz, Stephen (you LEGEND for carrying me in such hectic conditions!), the other gentleman that helped carry my heavy load  (Richard) !, Lorraine for co-ordinating Search & Rescue & medics so quickly and efficiently, the ladies with the painkillers and space blanket, for Jeff who gave me a lift, ice and more importantly, a beer to recover from my shock:-) !   Thank you to everyone involved - I don't have enough words to express my gratitude. While it certainly was one way to introduce myself to your wonderful trail group, it wasn't quite what I had in mind:-) 

 

I’m sorry I didn’t get everyone’s names to thank but you know who you all were that helped down the gorge.  THANK YOU!!


Most importantly, thank you for helping me keep my sense of humour through it all (I must say it did wane somewhat when the "Unfortunately I have bad news for you as it looks fractured"...comment came from the ER doctor
L

 The initial prognosis is that the ankle has a fracture and all ligaments torn.  But have been referred to an ankle specialist next week to assess it properly and see what my options are.  I’m confident I will make a positive come backJ

Positive vibes, healing thoughts, light and prayers most welcome!
Many many thanks once again to you all! 

As they say, I’ll be backJ

Happy trails to you all

  

Judy Phillips
