Hi All,
I have a new roommate. Sunday morning walking out of church grandma fell on an uneven side walk. She said she was fine and we came home and had breakfast. She didn't seem to be in any pain so I went to work. I called her mid day to see how she was feeling. She said she felt fine but thought we may want to get her ankle x-rayed since it was the same ankle she broke in March.
We went to Emergency and sure enough....she not only re-broke the bone she broke in March...she broke a second bone. She's in a cast and can't bear any weight on it until we can go to the orthopedic doctor. She's walking with a walker so she doesn't put weight on the ankle. We can't get in to that doctor until next Wednesday 10/17.
We were planning on going up north this weekend from Grand Rapids and Ken was going to take her home to Bloomfield. We're still going up North but she will come back to GR with me so we can go to the Doctor. I wanted to do the follow up in GR in case she has to be in the cast for any length of time. I told her she can't go home until she's at least in a walking cast. That's all we need... for her to be going up and down stairs with a walker.
Overall she is doing fine. She's not in any pain, I'm cooking for her, and she has her Nook...she's pretty content! LOL
I'll keep you posted on how she's doing.
Love to all!
Duane
Thanks for the update uncle Duane! Give grandma a hug and kiss from me! Hope she feels better soon :) what a great roommate you have! I am sure she is loving having an excuse to be on her nook 24/7!
ReplyDeleteI second Emma's entire post! Well said. Hoping for a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, sounds like divine intervention. Someone "up North" must have known that each other's company was exactly what you both needed. Clever. Enjoy.
