The flowers above are some Marge brought for our 50th Wedding Anniversary. We planted and enjoyed them all summer. They are annuals, at least here. It is hard to pull back from death and move on with determination to do what you can do before you also depart. I am hoping the family can pick up and move on, working and helping others the best they can in the time they have. Life is fragile. We need to protect and embrace it. And get about the business of living (line from Shawshank Redemption).
I decided to show you Tom's leg...he still has staples here. The staples were taken out, but the incision opened up and now it looks infected somewhat. He has had about 7 procedures, 3 or 4 operations on the leg. We are hoping to see his doctor when we go to St. George tomorrow. He is also seeing a back surgeon to discuss possibilities there. He is in pain in his leg, his foot, his lowerback, his neck. Oh groan!
Marge and I had fun having work to do, in spite of her pain. She had cronic pain too. She talked through it. She, like Tom, couldn't sleep. Linda called her in the night. I will miss her, but Carry On! I will soon change the subject, but she and LaRae are always close. Seems like too many sisters on the other side.
I saw somewhat taken back to see a photo of Tom's leg. Looks like he met up with a chain saw. Yes, that leg looks well worked on. For some seniors, misery abounds. Good luck tomorrow in seeing doctors who can maybe think of something to relieve his pain.
ReplyDeleteBoy Tom's leg does look bad indeed. Hope they can get it feeling better before tackling the back surgery.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers look like Amerylous. Should they happen to come up this year you can put them in pots inside in the fall. They will do well inside,
