Good evening and happy Sunday to us all.
Cold and some snow flurries. The Arctic will revisit on Tuesday and stay for a few days. I've worn a DB long coat which I've not worn in three years b/c it's so warm. That's my silver lining.
It's not been a particularly good week. Snow and more snow, cold and colder, DTGD has been really sick with a rotten cold, DH is having knee problems, and DS#1 is in the hospital.
He fell on Monday & wouldn't go to the hospital. By Tuesday the pain was much worse and DH went over to his apt. and was snowed in, even though by that time he wanted the hospital. They finally made it to a neighborhood hospital Wednesday afternoon and they thought he dislocated his artificial hip. DS#1 was sedated as they tried to manipulate it back to position, but it was unsuccessful. He was transferred by ambulance to a hospital downtown near midnight, where his ortho. surgeon is. On Thursday DS#1 was sedated and his surgeon tried to manipulate his hip back in place; it was a no-go. All day Friday he was held in pre op waiting for a window of opportunity for his surgeon to operate. He was finally taken around 1:30pm and they had to replace the entire hip. This is his third artificial hip in his left leg. The surgeon and DS#1 are watching sounds in his left hip and worry that it too may collapse. It has something to do with the 100plus pounds which DS#1 has lost in the past year and the hip not being designated for his weight now. If he could eat and keep the food down the weight would not have been lost. He was running a fever of near 103 and is expected to be in the hospital for a few more days and then go to rehab. We just returned from the hospital and he is in a lot of pain.
I hope you week has, and will, be better than mine.
