Huntington, WV (HNN) – Mary Ellen Wolfe, daughter of Huuntington Mayor Kim and First Lady Debbie Wolfe has become a ‘true bionic woman,” according to her dad. Ms. Wolfe, a stuntwoman, had reconstructive surgery Tuesday, August 10, on her heel/ankle following an accident ten days ago.
“Dr Tankersley spent the most of the day essentially rebuilding her foot/heel/ankle.”
The Mayor said that “10 screws and some extra metal” were necessary to repair his daughter heel. He said her ankle was better than anticipated, but her heel worse than expected.
Mary Ellen will spend a couple days in the hospital prior to beginning what is anticipated to be a lengthy recovery period.
Incidentally, the night before surgery, Mary Ellen tried on a pair of shoes at Heels at Pullman Square. Debbie, her mom, thought they would be a cool recovery incentive. “She may not be able to wear them for some time,” but Corey Wilson delivered them to the hospital. As she came out from general anesthesia, Mary Ellen smiled.
“Thanks for all your prayers,” Mayor Wolfe said.
