Live-In Handyman
My live-in handyman will be released from the hospital later this morning. Yea! He's a very active person, and the forced down time was making him a little bonkers.
Still no growth on the cultures from his ankle. The doctors say that's good news because the more virulent bacteria are fast growers. He'll be coming home with a vat full of oral antibiotic, a stylish strap-on black boot, and crutches.
Thanks for all the comments on the previous post. I haven't read them yet, just saw they were there. I'll get over there later today.
Things will still be a bit hectic around here this week, what with a bum ankle, crutches, two high-energy dogs, and stairs. And one day he'll have to go for follow-up to get the stitches removed.
But I'll be here instead of at the hospital and will have time to catch up on comments and blog visits. You won't see me everywhere at once. I'll be the tortoise, I'm sure, between taking "this" upstairs, bringing "that" downstairs, and whatever else needs to be done for my injured hero.
Anyone know how to clone me for a week or two?
I plan to be back here with a new regular post sometime on Wednesday. Morning, I hope, but if his appointment for getting stitches removed is early that morning, I won't blog until afternoon.
See you then!

If you discover how to do the cloning thing, do pass the information along.
And if you figure out the cloning thing, let me know!
No luck yet with the cloning thing. Darn.

Patricia - I think he is, and I hope I can.
And in a strange way, he was right. Hospitals certainly give you no rest, awakening you in the middle of the night, asking if you're asleep. I know your husband will do better with loving, concerned care by you in familiar surroundings. I will pray for him.
Come visit my blog, WRITING IN THE CROSSHAIRS,if you're of a mind and inclination. You can read more of Samuel Goldwyn's secret heroic life in my post THERE WAS A HERO.

May both you and your husband find healing in the days to come, Roland
Happy that things will begin to settle down for you, and hope that it's as easy and pain-free as possible for all.
Angela - Thanks. Friends are wonderful.
Marisa - The boot is killer :)
Laura - I'm trying!
