Just checking in after a very loooong week. Sunday, May 3 rd , my hubby Leo fell 7 feet from a ladder  onto our concerete driveway.   (He was working on the HONEY DO list)
His primary injury is a shattered forearm, and dislocated elbow. He had a mild concussion, multiple bruises and contusions. That night Leo had emergency surgery to fix the arm. I know he will be setting off metal detectors now with the screws and long plate he has holding it all together!

He went by Ambulance to Sentara Virginia Beach General and was released on Tuesday PM. The hospital was good. The nurses superb. I waS allowed to stay in his room 24/7 which I did for the first 40 hours or so.

This Saturday he will walk with his giant cast like splint to receive his BA in Human Resources.

will check in ASAP

OMGoodness!  SO glad to hear that he's okay (for the most part).  That must have been hugely scary for you!  How are you holding up?
