Prayers are requested for my wife and myself to guide our full recovery!
Here I am back from my 4 week post-op visit. I am 77 and slipped in the yard and ruptured my right Quad Tendon on Sept. 11. The Doc said he thought I was doing Great. Increased my Leg load to 40 #. He also opened my Brace to 50 Degrees - Cheer-Cheer! He said not to put that 40# load on the Leg with the Leg bent - suggested I lock the Brace when I walk to protect the repair. I will continue Quad Sets, Toe curls and Active Straight Leg lifts and 1 x per week At Home PT for the next 4 weeks.
My loving wife and Super Caregiver tripped over MY WHEEL CHAIR and fractured a Hip Bone. She had a Minimally Invasive Smith- Nephew Joint replacement today. The surgery went well and she is doing wonderfully. I am now the Caregiver and with the help of out-of-town family members we will do great. My wife will be able to get around near normal and drive in three weeks.
God Bless my wife, myself, members of this Forum and the Healthcare Professionals in this great Country of America.
Healing to all!
Prayers sent.
That is quite painful, so is your wifes hip...may God bless you both with fast healing and no pain....
One word of advice. If either of you get down in bed and the other can't lift then you might need to get a Hoyer Lift. It's a hydraulic hoist used in hospitals and nursing homes to lift persons from bed to a whelchair. Kind of like what is used to pull an engine out. Very basic to use. They can be rented at about any medical supply store.
Prayer’s to you and your wife.....
Next year this time, you’ll be looking back and laughing about this events......
Adding prayers
Lord Jesus, our Healer and Redeemer, bless and heal this family.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
Prayers for you and your wife for a full and speedy recovery.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the grace and mercy You have shown this delightful couple ... their recovery will be swift and sure because of Your healing hand, enhanced by their joyful outlook. O that we might be like that ... rejoicing in all our circumstances.
We speak Your Word over them ... Proverbs 3:7-8 ~ “Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.”
Grant journey mercies to those traveling to minister to TN and his wife ... may these times of recovery also be times of refreshing and fellowship.
We praise You, Father, for Your goodness and mercy ~ may You be magnified and glorified among the people. Amen and Amen ...
Sending up Prayers of healing for you and your wife. You really need to stop chasing her around the house .... LOL
Bless yer’alls hearts. You sound like a sound loving pair. Prayers for you both.
Prayers now for God’s blessings on all.
Oh my! Prayers up for you both! Your spirit and love for each other comes shining through your post, and that, with God’s love will see you both through this!
May you continue to bring smiles to each other in this challenging time, and so to His face as well.

This note is from my wife and I who are so Blessed to have the caring and love and Blessings from so many of our FR friends.
These Blessing are so emotionally and physically uplifting.
Words cannot do justice for these “priceless” Prayers. I cannot continue as my computer screen is much too blurry....
I join in earnest prayer for both of you!
Prayers lifted....
Praying for you both.
Praying! God Bless you all.
Prayers up for all of you.
