Molly wanted us to tell about the fall. We hurt so badly. We can’t sleep either well. Hubby said he knew we were struggling last night badly since we moved ever two seconds for the first several hours. Molly isn’t able to remember just when the fall took place but she feels like it was in 3rd grade, which would have been 1975 possibly.
It was in the morning on the way to school at this place. We were just getting ready to turn the corner off Broadway into the school playground when Molly stepped wrong, twisting and breaking her foot, as we learned much later in life – 9 years later, and landing on her right side, as we’re finding out now with all the pain. The grass was not there at this spot then like it is now; however, this is the entry to the Jewett School in Bucksport Maine.
We don’t remember much about that day after the fall. We don’t remember whether we got up or the teachers found us but we remember next being at home. A couple of days after the fall, my mother took us to the doctor’s in Bucksport but the doctor said nothing was wrong. We were denied any care and made to go on as if nothing was wrong. ![]()

Now, 40 years later, the pain from the injuries is so strong. Molly is being treated at the chiropractor for her injuries sustained all those years ago. The pain is so much worse now than it would have been back then. The thought is that while her left foot twisted and broke, it was her right side she landed on; hence, now the right rib cage, right arm, and right back buttock is so much in pain. Even her hand making life so difficult.
We went to see Renee on Tuesday and tomorrow we will go again. The pain we are experiencing now is much worse than the pain we would have experienced had we been treated back then. We cannot sleep well, we walk in much pain and with much difficulty, the right arm pain is excruciating, and the right hand is somewhat asleep, making typing difficult but Molly wanted this written. There is a pinching pain also going up the left back buttock as well as the right shoulder pain. Renee was able to make the right side rib case feel much better and we’ve had no problems since. Am so hoping to have these same results with the rest of the body. It hurts so badly and causes such crying.
It makes no sense why we weren’t cared for then. None. Today, now we have to heal. The healing is much worse today than it would have been then.
