And the World Paused....for my hubby anyway!
It was finally lunch time at work. I was so ready to eat my Subway sandwich when I received a text from my hubby, Chris. "Call when you can." Normally this isn't anything I need to rush to do, but when I received a second that said, "Call Now." I began to panic. I took my kids to lunch rushed to the workroom and called his cell phone. His brother answered, I really thought I called him by accident. He said, "Chris is ok, we're at the ER, he broke his ankle. Don't worry about coming up. Your dad is here too." Umm...ok! I said "what?" I'm coming up. So, I took my sandwich, scarfed it down on the way, and ran in to the ER. He was in so much pain. They sent us to a speialists in Texarkana. This Dr was supposedly waiting for us. Almost 6 hours later, no more pain meds since 10am, and no food all day, the Dr finally came in. He had scheduled Chris for surgery on his ankle, but after studying the xray realized his ankle was the least of his worries. He was more concerned about his knee. My hubby doesn't sit still for 5 seconds. He's up at the crack of dawn and in at dark. His life is cows and building roads. Well, until Carson came along. Anyway, he's now in a recliner for at least 8 weeks and we're waiting on possible knee surgery. Oh, it all happened working cows. They had a few pinned up and one came over the panel and over Chris. His ankle is broke in 2 places, he's wearing a hard cast and knee brace. His knee came out and they kinda put it back in. We went for an MRI today. Results to follow in a week. On top of all this, my baby boy is in Tyler with his Nonna for a few days. I'm really missing him. Say a prayer for Chris, or me, whichever!

Praying for you both! This will be a real test for you two. Chris will get a little taste of what you went through not too long ago yourself. XOXO
ReplyDeleteI will add you both to my prayers. If there is anything I can do, let me know. Let us know how the MRI results turn out.
