More about New Orleans in my next post. First I have to tell you about the "rest of the story." As you know, on Feb. 8 we were downtown to see the parades when Jim fell and injured himself. He had surgery this past Tuesday and everything went well. He came home Wednesday. Unfortunately, between the truck and the 5th wheel he lost his balance and fell. The good news is Jim was not hurt. He is now safely ensconced in the trailer. The trailer has provided many challenges for Jim. It's very hard for him to get around since it's two steps up to the bathroom and two more steps up to the bedroom. Because his hands were injured in the fall it's impossible for him to use his crutches or the walker to hop up the steps. He has to get down on his hands and knees and crawl up the steps. To simplify things he's sleeping on the sofa with Maggie Waggie. He's spending all day sleeping and watching TV with his foot propped up on a bunch of pillows. In two weeks the cast comes off, the stitches come out and he gets a boot. Then at least four more weeks of no load bearing on the foot. If all goes well he'll start some physical therapy with just an itty bitty bit of load bearing. At this point we can leave for home. Then he'll have 4 to 6 more months of physical therapy at home. Here are his boo boos.
