 The gaiter swam away. Thompson was able to get to hospital for surgery. She says she suffered a fractured fibula, but no major nerves were severed. She told ABC News she'll be on crutches for a couple of months, but she expects to make a full recovery. Meanwhile, the trapper found the 10-foot gaiter and euthanized it. Donations are pouring into an online fundraiser for the family of Corey Huffman.
