For those who haven’t heard, Breezy has had an accident, so she and I flew home early so she could have surgery.  All our versions of the story are a bit different, but here is mine.

We decided to go to Machame for 2 days, which is located right along a beautiful river.  We were warned that there are many dangerous water buffalo around the area and we should take extra precaution.  As we were hiking down to the river, Breezy decided she wanted to wander off the trail.  As she did so, a water buffalo ran out of the bushes nearby.  She freaked out and started running back toward us, when all the sudden, she slipped on the mud. 

We all ran toward her, Ryan, being the first on the scene tried to calm her down and continued to tell her “it’s going to be okay.”  Josh and I were next and both kinda froze when we saw her ankle at a 90 degree angle.  Calmly, Megan reached her and casually popped her ankle back into place.

I ran to get help and found two amazingly nice people nearby with a car.  Ryan, Josh, and Alex took turns crawling on all fours with Breezy on their backs as Megan held her leg in place. 

3 hours later, we arrived at the hospital in Moshi.  The doctors told us she broke her fibula and ankle and she needs surgery within the next 5 days.  She and I caught the first flight we could back to the States.

She went into surgery today and is doing very well considering all that she has been through.
