Haven't posted much lately. We just cleared Hurricane Irene. Last Friday evening, my hubby fell on his back about eight feet from a ladder. He has a fracture in his lower back. We spent the weekend in two different ER's and hospitals. We are home and he is in a back brace and getting around with a rolling walker. I am learning how to be nurse. I have to nap when he does so I can keep going. He is taking pain meds, and a shot I have to give him every day to prevent blood clots. The surgeon said only maybe two percent chance he would need any surgery. We are very thankful. His sisters home was flooded nine and half inches from the hurricane. They were doing cleaning on Sunday. She fell and broke her shoulder in three places. Our daughter fell a week or so ago, broke her ankle and busted open the knee she just had surgery on. We are stressed. Please remember my family in your prayers and I thank you for it.
