Last Sunday, Frank fell about 9 feet off a ladder, while he was helping out a neighbour sweeping his chimney. He broke his wrist, his upper arm and dislocated 2 fingers, all on his right side. On Tuesday, he has surgery to put a plate and screws in his arm. His wrist is in a cast and fingers are in splints after being pulled into place. Brought him home on Wednesday and he is feeling better every day. Of course, I am doing all the driving, cooking, cleaning plus all the chores he usually did around the house. He is very sensitive to the drugs he was given while in surgery so it has taken him a few days to shake off those effects. He is only taking Tylenol to address the pain, not only in the bone breaks but on the side he landed on.I was due to have chemo (Hercepton) last Tuesday but that has been postponed till this Tuesday. He has a doctor's appointment in St Eustache on Tuesday as well. Timing isn't the best but my neighbour, has offered to dive him there and back if I am not back from my chemo in time to take him OIY!Thursday, we got a call from the doctor at Frank's mom's residence saying Ana had had another large stroke and was in a coma and not expected to live much longer. I had a wee bit of a tearful day pondering all the shit we are dealing with, but pulled it together knowing Ana would want me to take care of her son. Frank had seen his mom the Saturday before he fell. He knew she was not in a good place so hearing she was not in pain, not suffering was a comfort. She was conscious (on Sat) enough to hear him say, " I love you and give her a kiss and a hug. We could not go and see her on Thursday, due to Frank being so dizzy and nauseous. I called our priest and he was able to administer the last sacrament on Thursday afternoon. She died early Friday morning before 5 am.Yesterday, I had arranged to entertain, two distant cousins I had discovered. So, they and their respected spouses arrived around 1 pm. I had made Chili, bread and pie with some beer and wine. Since it was such a wonderful day, we sat out on our deck and connected. Four really nice, fun folks who I can now call family. Was good to have a few laughs and disconnect from the load of crap we have been delivered lately.Today, just hanging loose and relaxing. Will zone out in my tub a little later.Tomorrow, blood test, doc appointment, bank, notary and a visit to the UI office in St.Jerome.So that's all from moi.. Feels like a ketchup bottle - nothing happens then a lot'll. Sure hope things with all of you are all normal and boring.. we old farts can only take so much.
