Well I am back home for a couple of weeks. Minimal damage but another serious fall for my husband. He was airlifted by helicopter on Oct. 6th. (early evening) to Jackson Memorial Hospital Ryder Trauma Center. He is ok BUT is very shaky. How grateful my son and dgtr. in law are still here. They extended their departure fo California after this accident. Did I smoke NO NO NO Did I want to YES YES YES.
I just hired a young nurse friend to begin to stay with us after my kids leave on Sat. It will only be part time - but I need help watching after my husband because I am so jumpy. I do not want to drive the car (he can't and will begin PT at home next week) My dgtr. in law is doing the wound care for now and I will have a visiting nurse continue to check on the 7" stitches gash . So fortunate he didn't have a brain bleed.
The landscaping is a mess - son cleaned up the property a lot - we were overly planted but lost some beautiful trees and stuff.
Minimal roof damage - all fixed - We do have an elevator and hopefully the needed part will be in and repaired by the end of this week. I have a terrible case of Fibromyalgia on both feet - got meds. for that but I can't stand or walk for long periods of time. Still not sleeping well - wake up 6AM and the brain starts up and can't go back to sleep.
I am so glad I have the nurse working for us ESPECIALLY me.
