Earl was involved in a boat explosion while filling up gas. He was unconscious and woke up in the ambulance on the way to the hospital where he found out he had multiple fractures in his neck, back and his right ankle. Earl arrived to Encompass Health Henderson with both lower legs in casts and an aspen collar on his neck, unable to stand. At the end of his stay, the only thing stopping him from his goal to stand and walk again are his casts that must remain on for a few more weeks. We're happy to share that Earl is independent and back to caring for himself.
