Aug. 3, 2018
Hi everyone, Been a long time since I have posted here. Things are going pretty good for me. I thank God every day for sparing my son`s life after his bad fall from a high ladder on his construction job while removing a second story outside window. So much damage to his body--3 broken ribs, face fractures, lacerations to kidney and liver, bleeding and swelling in brain,bleeding in another place in head, fractured hip socket, both shoulders clavocals fractured,broken left wrist and arm which was repaired with a plate in wrist and screws and a bar extended from wrist to elbow, one jugular vein in neck completely destroyed, 4 staples required to close cut in left side of head, has a cracked skull in 2 places,2 black eyes with right eye dark black colored-completely closed and bloodshot with eye bulging partway out of it`s socket, scraped both knees, left foot black and blue with big toe painful and swollen. This accident happened on April 27, 2018. Just today at another Dr apt, they discovered the blood flowing around the heart where they say is not normal, so am now waiting to see what the cardiologist says when he sees him next month. Wish they were seeing him sooner as it worries me. He is in therapy still, but slowly getting better. Three of his Dr`s say he is a miracle because the first 5 days they gave us little hope, and it was over a week before he again gained consciousness.. God was good, will forever be eternally grateful. He still has a long hard road ahead of him, but he hasn`t given up. His boss told us that after the fall, Ronnie got up and was going to re-climb the ladder and he had to hold him down till the ambulance arrived and they rushed him straight to Albany Medical Hosp about 50 miles away because he was in such bad shape for our local Hospital to handle. Wish didn`t have to wait till next month to know the degree of damage to the heart blood vessel. Praying something that can be repaired easily.
Still working in my wood shop, have my walk around garden again this year. Call it a walk around because years ago I built standards to hold earth boxes so I can still have a garden. Too hard getting up from the floor or ground for the normal ground gardens. Also still turning over my compost bins. Doing my best to stay active to live longer. Has the aneurysm in the back of my head checked again this year and still only 5 mm in size, so good so far. 4 years and no change which is good.
One son -Walt and his daughter Jen took me with them to Virginia and then to Myrtle Beach in S. Carolina where we joined another granddaughter Millie and grandson Walter and their families for a wonderful weeks vacation. Many hours of riding, but everyone had a great time.
Was gone for 9 days, 1st vacation in years. Was great seeing everyone, had been a long time.
Wishing all my blog friends the very best.
