Well Friday started out great and ended up not so good for us.
Our friend came to cut down our tree and long story short...
The large limb being cut had other ideas.
Instead of falling where it it was suppose to it bounced back and hit my Hubby Dave right below the kneecap.
Everything had been done safely, Dave wasn't climbing any ladders or using the chain saw...just being in the wrong place.
911 was called and Dave was taken to ER.
Xrays showed broken bones all around the knee..tibia and fibia...
He is home in an hospital bed and surgery scheduled for Tuesday.
He is in an immobialization splint from thigh to shin on his left leg.
Lots of pain but today is a lot better if he doesn't move.
Ambulance will have to come and bring him back to hospital since he can't bend his leg and no weight bearing...there is no way he could get in our car.
So I am full time nurse along with so much help from my Daughter in Love and her cousin is a nurse practiciner. She brought over a good bed and all the things necessary for the next 2 months probably of healing.
Things will be a whole lot better once the pins are in place.
Sure not the way we expected to spend our time!
Thank heavens for insurance. We could never make it through this with out it.
Of course it goes without saying that prayers get us through. God is good and we know he has all of this right in his hands.
I probably will not be answering many blog comments but just wanted you to know whats going on with us.
We will continue to travel this Road of Life any way we can.
