Prayer thread for Mrs. Dono (Update in #189 - She's back!)

Mrs Don-o wrecked on her bike this morning and has broken bones in both her arms plus a broken left elbow. She will have surgery tomorrow for the elbow.

I left her in good spirits, after she was given some pain medication.

As often happens, we meet angels all along the way - from the folks to stopped at the accident to render assistance and contact me - to the EMT's who transported her - to the wonderful staff at our medical center.

Your prayers and pings are requested.

Comfrey, Symphytum officinale.

It's related to bee borage, one of its folk names is "knitbone" - you use it as a compress (never internally 'cause it's poisonous).

Any herb with "officinale" or "officinalis" in its name has a long history of use in medicine, because that means that it appeared in one of the old herbals before Linnaeus got his classification system together.

The problem with comfrey, though, is getting it to STOP growing. It's an invasive weed to most folks, and it's best to grow it in pots or in a raised bed, and DON'T put it on the compost pile!

Hey, Mrs. Don-O. Great to see you, even if it is hard for you to post right now. Excellent.

Here’s praying your recovery stays on track and you’re back to normal in a few months.

My sister fell on her knee cap around March, split the thing into three main parts and a number of smaller ones. She’s back up walking around again without the walker part of the time. Frankly I’m amazed at what they can do these days.

Only mentioned it to let you know there really is a light at the end of the tunnel.

God bless!

Hugs and kisses.

Finally found a comment of yours with not just one, but several sPelLing errors in it! First one ever. Get well, gurl!

P.S. Also try Celadrin pain cream. The ingredients aren’t that special but integrated as they are gives an effective external analgesic.

Glad to see you are home. Elbow fractures hurt a lot!

We will keep you in our prayers.

Hey, no whinin now. You already outtype me and don-o with one hand tied. Good to see you back online. You take care, rest and get healed, and put that good man at your side to do the fetching for you!

I'll continue my prayers for your speedy and full recovery.

In a way, I'm kind of envious... my daughter borrowed my bike and put a bunch of goat-head thorns in my tires... so I haven't even been out this spring yet.

[SouthTexas]

Good job to both of you and thanks to the Lord of course. ;)

[HonestConservative]

God bless you all.
