Started out like any ordinary day with my daughter taking off for Loews to get some gardening stuff, not too long after I got up. Roughly half an hour later she left I got a phone call from her saying she had fallen and thought she's either dislocated her knee or broken one of the lower leg bones - the ambulance was there and going to take her to the hospital. They sent her to surgery after multiple Xrays and other tests. She had a fractured Tibia and multiple mangled blood vessels in her knee. Also the circulation to her foot was badly compromised. They found a clot in the artery which necessitated removing a vein from her other leg to make a bypass around the area with the clot. They also set the broken bone with an external metal fixation device. Her son's already looking for an attorney
She was just entering the store when she stepped into a giant puddle. No signs or any other warning. Loews should definitely pay her medical bills and reimburse her for lost time from school and work. She had just signed up for a CNA course. She'll have to delay that. She's come thru it pretty well - lot of pain tho. Broken bones hurt like an SOB - in my opinion the pain is worse than labor pains! (been there - done that)

Ouch! Sorry to hear about your daughter. Hope she'll be on the mend before too long with less pain.

Ouch is right. Sounds like she has a slam dunk case against Lowes. Did anybody get pictures or video of the puddle?

Sorry to hear your daughter had the misfortune of visiting Lowes and ending up suffering injury. Hope she mends soon and wins the case against Lowes also.

So sorry to hear about this accident. Broken bones do hurt along with pulled muscles. Hope that she is on the mend sone.

She came out of ICU today to a regular room. She is really uncomfortable with muscle spasms and just plain pain! I feel so bad and there is so little I can do about it.

Aren't they controlling her pain? Seems to me that with injuries like that, they should be controlling her pain. I hope she is on the mend soon. How long will she be in the hospital?
