The beginning of December we took off on a trip, planning to be gone 6 to 8 weeks. Our son would keep an eye on the house. All was fine until January 2nd when our son called to inform us that there had been 2 feet of water in the basement and most of the stuff he and we had stored down there was now junked ( Read more... )

It's been a year since hubby's horrible fall. He's doing really great, by the way. We didn't do our annual camping trip to the Covered Bridge Festival but we did do a day-trip yesterday with our son and his fiancé ( Read more... )

His endurance is still way down but that'll come back up now that he's able to do some exercising ( Read more... )

On October 9th, my husband was on a ladder cutting a branch when the branch snapped, knocking the ladder. He called out, I turned and watched him fall to the ground. You know how the movies show stuff in slow motion? That's how I keep seeing it, over and over. He landed with his arm under him, smashing his wrist and dislocating and fracturing his ( Read more... )
