Oh boy, that looks awful Kathy! Now you have 3 boys to take care of. Glad you are getting some help with your renovation and chores.

Yeah, it will all work out. . . . . I am just a big baby and tired of all this already! Waiting "hand and foot," on someone . . . . . Now I know! hahaha

It's great that your sons will help your out. I bet Cylis was thrilled with the hospital

. Do you think the tree house will be okay for the gr.kids? It looks so very high.

My niece and I, are very phobic -

Oh too bad Kathy - hope surgery 2 goes well. And glad you have help. Geez.

Yes. He fell. He was atop the ladder - about 10 feet up. He had a half sheet of plywood and a gust of wind knocked it and him off the ladder. This was Wednesday. So, we were in ER for HOURS. They sent him home (wrapped in a cast "boat") and he had to return in the AM to the orthopedic doc that was coming to town for the "specialty clinic." So, Thursday 8AM to 10AM we were at the local hospital again. Doc saw him and sent him to Joplin. He met us there and did surgery. ALL day at 2 hospitals. He got out of recovery at 8:30PM and spent the night there. I brought him home today. Too much swelling to really get inside - to the bone. So, he just did a reduction and internal fixation. Return in a week (hoping the swelling is reduced) and schedule surgery to finish this procedure. The doctor told him he is pretty much on bedrest, with his foot elevated above the level of his heart, for a week.




Quote: Sorry for butting in. I started lurking here to see the The Sheriff's remodel (beautiful job!), but just have to say this man deserves the Grandpa of the Year Award. I mean, I loved my grandfather to bits, but he never built me a tree house!

And injured in the line of duty to boot, should also put him in the Grandpa Hall of Fame. Hope his recovery goes smoothly and quickly and that he doesn't wear you out too much with all the fetching and carrying in the next few weeks. Best wishes!
- returning to lurkdom now.

Awww, thank you. I admit, he really is a pretty special grandpa.

Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers.
I think it is gonna be a L O N G winter here. haha . . .

Today, Home Health Care came by to clean the wounds and rewrap. She was taking his history, and said, "WOW, no meds and medical history. Really, you are healthy as a horse!" Mike replied, "They shoot horses when they break a leg!" LOL

Ouch, dang, I need a pill now.

Tucker's had a bad day too.

 

[Happy Chooks]

Ouch, dang, I need a pill now.

Me too, me and my weak stomach. Good thing I never decided to be a nurse or doctor!

Some things just get'cha no matter what. Ortho was always a challenge for me. What procedure was being done during my first OR rotation? an amputation!

I almost switched my major back to photography!

Diva, in case you are worried, we finally let Tucker back in the house.
