The hubby has been able to work a little bit here and there since his accident. He was working today. Yeehaw!!
But then as he was going to the car after work, he slipped on a patch of ice and landed on his leg. Yep, the already-injured-basically-shattered-held-together-with-metal-plates-and-screws leg. He called to tell me that our sister-in-law was driving him to the hospital and that I should meet him there.
You have got to be kidding me. Fate is simply not that cruel, is it?
Nope. It's not.
Turns out, he didn't re-break the leg. Just a bad sprain. They told him he was extremely lucky. They had been worried that he would knock loose some of his hardware which would have meant surgery...again. So I'm grateful for small miracles.
Unfortunately, though, it has set his recuperation back. He can barely walk...again. So no work for a while. Sigh.
I'm praying for a quick recovery from this set back. I mean seriously, how much can one girl take?
Okay, over and out for now. I'm going to go have a pity party.

Oh Wendy:( Your poor hubby and poor you! Pity party is definitely well deserved at your house. Hope the day looks a whole lot brighter for you all tomorrow and your hubby feels better asap~ Tina xx
Oh boy... sorry to hear this but hopefully this will pass soon! Hang in there!
My husband broke his ankle & had to have surgery last year. He was out of work for weeks (construction is his job) It was the total pits. I understand your pity party. Hope everything gets better soon.
Wendy, thinking of hubby and you. I hope the sprain heals very quickly.

Hi Wendy, Oh I hope he's back on his feet soon. I have had to baby an injured foot for months now. And now that I'm not limping anymore, I am soooo careful with the shoes I wear, and what I do. Not that it compares but I know a little about how he/you feel. We're not our best when we're not 100 percent. hugs tami
Ahh...I'm sorry, Wendy! I'll keep praying for your hubby's smooth healing and for his work.
God Bless You!

Boy, I hope Fate compensates you both with something really good soon. Best wishes the recovery will be quick and smooth. xx
You are in my thoughts and my prayers for a speedy recovery for your hubby ~ Hang in there
Well, at least it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been. *sigh* Seems like one step forward, two steps back. I'll keep you guys in my prayers. Hang in there!

oh wendy - i actually gasped out loud when i read that john fell! thank goodness it's not broken, but i can imagine how you feel with him down again & how he must feel going through more pain again. i hope it's a quick recovery & he's feeling better soon. sending good thoughts to you. xoxo
So blessed that he did break it again. Hang in there...it's bound to get better.
Oh no... I am so sorry to hear that John fell again but what a relief it was only sprained! Trust me I understand completely how bad a sprain can be though... We will continue to keep you in prayer! If there is anything we can do to help please let me know.... even though we don't live close by.
Thank goodness for small miracles! Glad it wasn't worse and hope he recovers quickly.
Maybe it's time for you to whip a bubblewrap suit for him! I'm glad to hear it's just a sprain, but that stinks. Hope 2011 is uphill from here!
Oh, honey. . . I'm so sorry!
I am glad, glad, GLAD that it's only a sprain! Thank God!! But, oh, I know you didn't need this setback. Let's all pray that he'll be back on his feet in no time at all.
And maybe so really good, sturdy, won't-slip-on-anything kind of boots would be in order. You think? Is there such a thing?
damn girl.....i am so sorry to hear this.
YOu guys are in my prayers....and i will try and call you today.

Oh no, I'm so sorry! I hope it's just a small set-back and he is up and around again soon.
Oh he got so lucky !
Too dangerous and risky in this ice...Not without help...I am afraid my self and hubby felt too Sunday....Keep him warm and safe.
HUGS
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear this. I'm glad it wasn't too serious. I hope he heals quickly! (((Hugs))) to you too, this has to be so stressful.
Unbelievable! So glad to hear it wasn't as bad as it could've been. Thinking of you:)
Bless his sweet heart......and yours! Man! I am so happy it wasn't any worse. Will be sending up prayers for you guys.
oh my gosh, my heart was pounding just reading that!! :-O he is giving you a lot of grey hair, I bet! Glad it wasn't worse!
Oh. My. God. That just really stinks - I'm putting a padded bubble in the mail for your hubby to live in.
So sorry for your setback, I hope he recovers soon. I am sure he is feeling terrible and that it must burden you both so much to be in these circumstances. I hope for a quick recovery and getting you all back on the right path. By the way, it must make it easier that he is pretty darn cute! Laura
So sorry to hear about your husband's bad luck. At least it was just a bad sprain, not something much worse. Many good thoughts and prayers are coming your way. Hang in there.
Oh Wendy, I am so sorry! I'm glad it wasn't worse. I'll be praying for a speedy and complete recovery with no more setbacks. :)
