Setback

Well, Fred had really been coming along nicely with some walking each day with the walker and decreased trouble breathing. He saw our GP, the orthopedist, pulmonologist and had x-rays taken twice this week.
The second time they took the x-rays, they laid him flat on his chest and they think that one of the broken ribs displaced some. He had crushing pain and has ever since (that was Thursday). He is doubling up on pain med. and sometimes combining with Ibuprofen. Now, because of the pain, he's not breathing as well as before either. Ugh......!!
He has to have an MRI this week. Please say a prayer that this will be resolved ASAP!
I will be away in Vegas for work from Tues. afternoon until Sat. afternoon. Mom will be staying here at the house.
We want to thank everyone for the beautiful gifts and cards. It's challenging to keep "Charlie" (the cat) from eating the plants (thanks Aunt Kathy!!) and we've definetely been enjoying all of the snacks! Denise & Rich had an awesome dinner and desert (as well as my favorite Rice Crispy treats!) waiting when I got home from work on Thursday evening. We had a great visit.
Fred had a HUGE food basket (pictured) delivered from the "Shawangunk Trail Riders" guys!! They delivered it to our neighbors house~ you had to see me going over there to grab it off of her front step!! It was filled with everything from bottles of Gatorade to Italian cookies!! Thanks guys! You know he's anxious for next season! (rolling eyes!!)
Despite my fears, the pond is thriving under my care! K bought Fred the Japanese lace leaf he wanted for the top of the waterfall for his birthday and our Hibiscus just bloomed!
Love to all!
