My broken hubby.....

Yesterday, I spent ALL day at the doc's! First I went to the Medical Mall to see our very own Tams and then to Jim's appt at the Pavilion. Tams looks really good! I will have a picture later when I get it down loaded. And she seems in such better spirits, but the walking is not coming very well. As for the errant hubby, well, his footie-tuttie is broken! We knew that. It seems that in the past the 4 bones from the big piggie to the next to little piggie broke ( and we weren't aware of it) and healed crooked. They then applied steady and constant pressure to the little piggie bone and it finally gave up and snapped. Jiim's foot is mis-shapened due to the first breakages and right now he is in a cast with orders of NO weight on the foot AT ALL. He has a prescrip for a wheelchair - getting it this am. He has to stay in his recliner with the foot up for 1 week. Then they will check to see if the little piggie bone is healing...if not, radical manuevers may have to occur - from as "small" as putting a pin in the little piggie bone up to and including breaking all 5 bones again and pinning them. If it is healing, another "no weight" cast goes on and it will continue for 8 weeks and then be checked again. In the meantime, Jim has another stress test scheduled for Aug 2. It has to be canceled or changed. He has a sleep study for July 31. He can't do that either. So his durn foot is holding up progress on the bigger picture, but the foot is a big problem since he is diabete and healing is hard to come by, too. We go back in one week to see how the healing is and determine the next step. I am sharpening my crochet hooks and may just use knitting needles as they are already a bit sharp....... BTW, the little girl upstairs above us (she's 4) offered me her Daddy to be my hubby since mine is broken, but it is a package deal and I must take the Daddy, the Momma (who is preggie), the 4 year old and the 2 year old, too. Love to all and thanks for the great support and love from you all. And BTW, The KING is happily ensconced in his recliner with his foot u******g decrees that all begin with "I want...." smoochies Arlies

Well, if you can survive it - LOL, the rest may just do him some good....So, just put everything else on hold and take care of him (and I do not mean with the knitting needles!) I love you guys!!! DeAnna....

Bows To King and The Queen , Well, that's always a good sign if his decrees all begin with the words "I Want " lol........., I wish I lived closer . I could come help you out ((subliminal message ,worry you to death))lol , I pray the King gets well fast.his poor footsie,like DeAnna said don't take care of him with the knitting needles keep them safely locked away out of reach lol .............huggs and love.......Sherry

I hope your hubby's foot gets well soon!!! Take care! Hugs, Danielle

OH NO!!!! Tell my daddy that he is not allowed to get sick since i moved!!! I hope his footsie gets better quickly, I know how hard it is for someone with diabeties to heal...I wish i was closer to help too!! ** me and sherry would be the ones your after with the crochet needles.** hehehe....tell daddy to follow dr.'s orders or ill break the other piggies...hehehe I love yall!! and tell my sissy and bubba I said hi too!!

Arlies, I am sorry to hear about your hubbie's broken foot. Is he going to be o.k. and you are you o.k I haven't been on in awhile looking for a job you'll get thru it, I know when my dad had is open heart surgery in december i thought the worst but looking on line at the hospital helped me alot to get thru and reading what all you guys have been doing... Lisa

Arlies, Our prayer are with you and Jim. I finaly got the pin out of my finger. God Bless Love Always Wanda Weimer

YUK YUK YUK!! There's not much worse than a sick or injured man! LOL I know mine gets the sniffles and he's in bed for the day... ringing a bell for us to serve him! SERIOUSLY!!! LOL Anyway - good luck with the EASY healing and praying for no surgeries for the foot, we gotta get all this other stuff taken care of ASAP. I'll call ya for a swim date - my little ones really wanna get out. I've taken a second, well, 3rd job at night and could use a little rest in the pool for a while. But could you leave him alone for that long? We could always wheel him down to the pool and make him watch us have fun! LOL I want you to teach me some water excersises (sp?) too! HUGS Kimberly

So Sorry hope every one is well soon!!!! glenda
