I wrote in the 2011 SCY Nats thread about how MJ Caswell had gotten hurt the first morning of Nats.I thought she deserved her own thread.She does check the forum so I suggest anyone who wants can leave her a message.I saw her today.She had her surgery this morning and it seems to have been successful.She is in amazingly good spirits and hopes to get back in the pool as soon as her incision heals in about 2 weeks.
Sorry to hear about your mishap. I've had a couple close calls near the Kino lifeguard stands too, and these were before early morning workouts, no talking/chatting. The wheels kind of surprise you.
Glad to hear you're on the mend. I was out of town and had planned to find out where you were at when I returned, but noticed you were already on your way back home. Best of luck and I hope for a speedy full recovery!
Thanks so much - I actually did not see it, my head was turned towards the pools where my friends were walking next to me. And I am short enough to walk under the darn things except for the nasty horizontal rails 9 inches off the ground. I ended up with my foot hooked under the rail and pitched forward hard. My friend caught my upper body (thank goodness, otherwise I would have smashed my head into the ground as well) and I dislocated my hip and then relocated on impact, breaking the hip socket. The surgeon expects a full recovery and I should be back in the pool in a week or so. I continue to be amazed at the support from the masters swimming community. Certainly some of the nicest people on the planet.
Thanks again,
MJ
