UPDATE ON MY WIFE’S PHYSICAL CONDITION
About 7 p.m. Saturday night, Karon fell trying to get out of the bathtub and her hip broke. It is a very bad break.
I called 911 and the ambulance took her to the hospital. They did surgery that night to repair the damage. The orthopedic surgeon is not at all optimistic that the hip will heal due to the poor condition of the bone caused by the cancer and the radiation treatments, which also weakened the bone. But our prayers are that it will heal so they don’t have to do any type of replacement. That wouldn’t be good either, due to the extensive bone cancer.
She has been in the hospital for a few days and tomorrow (Wednesday, May 26th) moves to a rehabilitation center. Today was her birthday. So she spent her birthdayin the hospital! But she got tons of cards and flowers, gifts and even two cakes!
This has been a most painful experience for her and the doctor told me it will very slow and painful during the next few weeks due to the severity of the break. He placed a rod and several “screws” to hold the rod in place.
Guess that updates you on where we are at this time. Hopefully that is at least a partial explanation of why I haven’t Blogged in so long. I started a Blog on “The Christian and Alcoholism” but didn’t finish it. Maybe later it will be “postable”!
