Life Changing Forever

February 3,2020
Hello friends and family I have started thinking to share exactly about my injury. 
Grandson and I had a great breakfast
He went to eat lunch with his Mimi was going to be back at 3pm. I thought well I will go out here clean around our Montana. I told the girl that was helping me we can go get ladder cause no need to clean up below til we get what is on top of the camper. I get ladder and place it on back between two slides. I climb up on top sweep everything off. I have girl there move ladder and see if there was a leveler spot. She brought it back and told me not really so I told her put ladder back in same spot. I threw my broom down and told her ok I’m coming down is ladder locked she said yes. Ok so I put my foot on the first step I hit the ground. As I hit the ground I was paralyzed. I look at her told her call 911 then call Todd let him know I fell off camper. His first thing he ask what was I doing on top of the camper. He was rt down the road with his Best Friend working. Todd and Steve was there before the ambulance was there. Todd got out Steve truck running to me. Asking if I can feel my feet and then ambulance pulled up. I wasn’t in pain til they moved me to stretcher. When they moved me I was in more pain than I was having 3 kids naturally. I remember crying all the way to hospital telling paramedics. Can you please help me? She almost got to hospital and she gave me something cause I was alert.
