IN SICKNESS...

On Friday February 15 at 10am, my love & bipedially challenged, Steve hit the deck. He fell in our yard on a spot of ice breaking his left ankle. We spent a romantic afternoon in the ER at UMASS with our wonderful Murse, Eduardo.

Steve spent the next week at home waiting to see an Orthopedic surgeon (thanks to Aunt Lyn, it only took a week). Surgery was scheduled for Tuesday February 26, 7:30am. After 6 1/2 hours of surgery, he had a plate & 7 screws installed to the fibula and 2 screws to the tibia malleoli.We spent the next 3 DAYS hanging out at the hospital! Thank you to Murse, Peter for a great job.


Spent another 4 days at home, before returning


to work Tuesday March 4.
Steve had his stitches out this week & got an air cast. He is still on crutches, but can do a little more for himself.

Steve has been a wonderful patient. No complaints, no demands, no whining. He has been made aware our differences in this area & is still willing to marry me. I should probably take him up on it before I get seriously injured. You don't often get to try out the marriage vows before the wedding.
