Well, ladies.......another thing to deal with. My husband fell off the neighbor's garage roof yesterday and shattered his left heal bone. Needless to say, he is in the hospital. He will be needing surgery, but we have to wait until the swelling goes down - maybe a week. It's a good thing he didn't do this a couple of weeks ago. I wouldn't have been able to help him up or to the car. Two of my neighbors saw it happen and rushed over. I was in the kitchen baking and didn't hear a thing. Thank goodness for great neighbors!
He is in terrible pain and complains that the bed in uncomfortable. He's not the type of person who can just sit or lie down and do nothing. This is going to be hard on him. He won't be able to put any weight on it for 3 months and possibly, in a year, will need another surgery.
The topper is - this is his last week at his current job. He (supposedly) is to start a new one in 2 weeks! I don't know about that. At least it is the left leg, so he should be able to drive.
Is this another test??? I think I already passed!!! He is the type of person that thinks 'why me?' 'I hate my life!' - which makes it hard on me. Thank goodness I am strong - otherwise, I would be a basket case by now.
By the way, he wasn't putting up Christmas lights. He was trimming a tree - THE NEIGHBOR'S TREE!!! It is terribly grown over and drops a sooting residue on my lemon tree. I hate it too, but I wouldn't climb on the roof. I need to talk to the neighbor about getting it trimmed (or cut down). I think it was actually a seedling that sprouted many years ago and it just kept growing. It's right up against the brick wall and serves no purpose. This is a new neighbor, so maybe they will be willing to do it. The old neighbor wouldn't.
Sorry to vent, but that's what it's all about here. Other than this, I'm doing great. I started baking again for selling. In fact, I have a big order for Tuesday, but don't think I'll be able to get it done. They will understand.
Hugs,
