Please Pray For My Husband's Recovery [update at 114, 124, 139]
self | March 2, 2015 | self

Posted on 03/02/2015 4:39:34 AM PST by Bigg Red

My dear husband fell, fracturing his femur and tearing a rotator cuff in his shoulder. He does not have osteoporosis; it was just a freaky accident.

He is a big man -- not fat, just big -- and he landed on his hip and his elbow on a neighbor's blacktop driveway. As is so typical of him, he was there to help the neighbor with a task.

He is in very good health -- but not too graceful -- so I am confident that he will heal, but, right now he is in a great deal of pain in the leg and from swelling in the arm. He was able to use the arm right after the fall, but now he cannot.

Also, he is feeling quite glum about the fact that he will not be in full working order for several weeks. We are retired, so, fortunately, he is not missing paid work, but he is always very busy around the house and in our rather large yard. It is bothering him for me to need to take up the slack. Besides, sitting for too long gives him the heebie-jeebies.

I ask for FR Prayer Warriors to pray for relief from his pain and for his spirits to be lifted.

Well, how about that!!?

Uh-huh, FReeper prayers perhaps.

Today, I was told that it is looking less and less likely that there is rotary cuff damage. They will wait and see how his rehab progress goes and revisit if necessary.

The swelling in his arm and hand are down considerably, and he can move the left arm and use the hand now. He does not have complete range of motion, but I am so grateful for the improvement. His attitude is much improved, too.
