Well some that know me from the piers know I have something similar to Limb-Gordle Muscular Dystrophy. It causes progressive weakness in various muscle groups over time. There is no treatments or cure and eventually it will kill me. Now I say this not trying for sympathy as I have accepted this and made peace with our Lord and attempt to live a wholesome life as prescribed. Anyway one of the dangers is something we all take for granted and that is just basically walking out onto the piers. It can be any pier in our Gulf Coast region.
Yesterday, I arrived at 6:40 am at Pensacola Beach Pier. After paying Devin , the attendant was helping by pulling my cart up the hill when I stepped into a scalloped area of a board and fell hard. Ì landed on my right ankle much like I have before but this time the pain was much more intense. After getting to a sitting position Ì gingerly attempted to put weight on it. The pain was intense to say the least. Luckily Devine dad showed up and between the three of us we.were able to get me into my truck and I drove home. Later I went to urgent care with the aid of my brother and discovered that I had fractured my ankle in 3 places and will need surgery to fix it correctly. So the moral of this story is dont chew bubble gum, talk and walk while taking it for granted or bad ju-ju will bite you in the bottom.
Good luck and tight lines.
Allen
