Fractured left leg/knee and left Wrist on March 5th!

Finally a photo of me in the hospital with my left wrist splint around my already operated wrist break. Then there is a left knee external fixater. The metal apparatus keeps my knee joint in the desired position. It is fixed into the bone on the inside be four metal "pins". That is a gentle way to describe what is jabbed into my bone!! The fixature does not hurt, especially since I have had it for almost two weeks now.


Today's Positives:
1. I get up with a walker and into a chair 1-2 times each day.
2. My leg surgery is finally scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, 1:30pm Central Zone time. It could not be done before the swelling went down.
3. By the end of the week I should be out of the hospital and into a Skilled Care Center. They are all quite full and I am praying that the center across the street will have a bed for me.T

Thanks for prayers, cards, visits, etc from so many in Omaha and around the world.
