I broke my leg rollerblading (yeah, it is amazing what I can do)...
Your not as "amazing" as my younger brother! He broke both heals in several places... from attempting to brake dance on our tile floors! Now that was weird! He said it didn't really even hurt, his heels just felt sore. did not have to have a cast though. Doctor just told him to take it easy for a while, LOL. Thankfully he and my dad are he only ones in our family who have broken bones.
Daddy might be coming home today. Yesterday some people from our church came and made a ramp to get Daddy up the front porch.
He tried going up steps at the hospital but the therapist decided that wasn't such a good idea.
Fortunately, because of having the rod hold the bones together, he does not have a cast but some kind of removable boot. So, hopefully it won't itch as much as a cat would. I wonder if he can take it off to shower? Bath time sounds like it might be... interesting.
It turns out Mommy is going to be working with my older brother in Daddy's business. I do pray that she does not wear herself out. So now the rest of us kids are going to be taking care of the farm. Though I am very grateful that we do have a large family so it is not terribly hard to get everything done.
Something wonderful has come from all this...
Daddy has decided that he will start eating healthy! (he is our family's junk-food and soda person) The nurses were told him that he has high blood sugar and blood pressure,(not to mention quite overweight) we think that is when he made the choice. We are so excited! Eating better could save his life! It will help that he won't be able to drive to the corner store to get a soda or candy. At the hospital he has been choosing not to eat his Popsicles!
Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences, your kind words, and most of all, thank you for your prayers!
