WOW! The past couple of months have been a roller coaster, that's for sure! Hubby's run-in with a pit bull, at the dog park, on November 4th last year started it all.
He was at the park with Brunel, and Bru and his buddies were all zooming around. They ran towards Mark and all but one veered around him ... and the one headbutted his knee, and that was how Mark fractured his tibia.
We ended up at the St Francis ER in Simpsonville, and then at Carolina Orthopaedic and Neurosurgical Associates in Greenville, they scheduled his surgery, and then he's had to have physical therapy twice weekly, since the surgery.
Today, he went back to see the surgeon, and was cleared to go back to work tomorrow. He goes ack again in 6 weeks to get totally cleared by them.
The past 2 months have been a pre-retirement of sorts, other than - because of him being incapacitated - none of my "honey-do" list got touched. The bathroom still awaits his tender touch to get the barebones (where we'd taken everything out just before his injury) tidied up, the pipes cut back and replaced, and a floorboard replacing, so that the new fittings (my walk-in bathtub, new vanity and the loo) can all be installed.
Tonight will be a "back to bed at 10pm" ready for the alarm waking us at 5am tomorrow, when I'll get up and fix him something to eat and a coffee, and pack his lunch, for him to get out the door.
Thankfully, he installed one of those automatic starters in his truck, so I can turn it on for him before he goes out there, so's it's warm and the windshield is clear.
I know they've missed him at work, so they'll be happy to see him tomorrow. He's basically the last old-timer there, the others retired last year. The younger guys are just learning so a few times Mark got calls asking about stuff.
Oh well, hopefully he'll do ok, those 10 hours may drag after so long not being there.
