Dear Teton Valley, Teton County Fire/EMS, Air Methods, and Law Enforcement,Â
I was so grateful for the quick response of the helicopter and ambulance getting me to care so quickly. This was after I suffered a very serious, approx. 40' fall while constructing a house neighboring ours. While lying on the ground in a crumpled heap, I was so relieved when the 1st voice I heard arrive on scene was that of Sgt Kendall Bowser, a good friend and loyal public servant.
Â
I knew I was in trouble when I looked at my right foot and it was magically facing the wrong direction. Thanks to the skilled surgeons at EIRMC, I have now gotten fully stitched back together, though it took 4 surgeries & nearly 3 weeks to do so.
Â
I am very slowly regaining function in those muscles that had been immobilized for so long. I want to thank so many of you that have been praying for me and my recovery, which is going to be a long one.
Â
In today's economy the only way I, as a humble public servant myself, could afford to build a house was to build a house was to pretty much do it myself, so my injuries are a pretty serious and expensive setback.
Â
Also, if you have ever been in the house we live in (which was built by Floyd & LeRae Rammell circa 1950), you know that it is not very wheelchair accessible. Accordingly, a friend has set up a Go Fund Me account to help us out with that and the medical bills. Just please go to their website and look for my name: Fred Hale, or the link is https://gofund.me/04ceaf36
