Hubby's not coming home from the hospital today....their gonna keep him and do surgery on his ankle...

[CTyankee]

He had a recent fall here at Masonicare where we live now and was whisked off to the nearest hospital. He's OK, stable, doing fine but his medical team thought it was a good idea to stabilize him further and fix the fracture in his anke. They called me early, woke me up and told me what their plan was.

That was a few hours ago. Hope to hear a good report once they finish ankle surgery. I'm so glad they are doing this. Falls can be fatal to the elderly. He will have physical therapy from a good team at Yale New Haven hospital.

I know he's in good hands!

1. I'm so sorry to hear your hubby had a fall.

I hope he gets home soon, and has a good recovery. It gets harder as we get old, doesn't it?

Best to you both!

2. Fingers crossed and good wishes..

It is amazing.

Does masonic do PT? I've heard good things about that place too.

7. I know.

When I fell and broke my spine in three places I happened to be close to
a huge university medical center.

I was randomly assigned an ortho surgeon.
I asked him if he had experience with this kind of surgery, etc.
He said he did.

I looked him up and he turned out to be one of the top ten ortho surgeons
in the entire US. I was so embarrassed that I raked him over the coals regarding
his qualifications.

10. I am glad his ankle is being fixed. You're right about falls and the elderly. Good to not risk

another. I'm glad he's doing well otherwise. Sending good vibes for a speedy recovery for him.

11. My sister and my cousin both had major ankle breaks followed

by surgeries with lots of pins and plates.

Both had really good and fast recoveries.

Wishing your husband the same good luck.

12. Best wishes

It shows it was time for you both to be there even if just for the prepared food and staff to tend to situations like this. Make sure he follows their directives about putting weight back on it. The science has moved to putting weight on as soon as safe to speed healing Only upon their direction, as each injury has particular issues.
