Ouch! That's a tough break, no pun intended. Give Carol my best wishes for a complete recovery.

Last year, two days before Thanksgiving, my daughter-in-law got home from her final grocery shopping and tripped on a rug, with a simpler, but painful fracture. Two days later, she was the "kitchen boss", directing her kids and their spouses to get all of the work done. They produced a fine holiday meal. Though she still feels an ache from time to time, she has made an almost total recovery.

While we were visiting with Carol's sister and brother in law, we went to a Longhorn Steakhouse, our first visit to a steakhouse in forever - and - a mistake.

On her way to the bathroom, Carol gave wide berth to a wet floor sign and ". . . next thing I know, I'm flying through the air . . .". The result was a badly broken ankle, visits to two hospitals that night and return 'home' about 5 am.

In her lovely new cast, she couldn't have negotiated the steep stairs at our next two destinations or wandered around out in nature. And then, she needed a follow-up within 5-7 days. All options considered, we waited a few days with family, to let things settle down, especially swelling and let Carol recover a bit, then flew home.

We missed half our planned trip, but fortunately had accomplished both list member visits. :-) Tomorrow, it's out-patient surgery, and the prospect that she'll be completely well again in 6-8 weeks. She's slowly becoming adept with her knee scooter around the house and in good spirits, but for bouts of boredom.

A series of Pacific storms are starting, so I guess it's an early winter for us, better than missing the light and weather of other seasons.

Beck and Call Moose
