Thanks Dinah for the nice sentiment. John came home this afternoon from the hospital - but even with all the pain meds he normally takes - plus the percocet the doctor has given him for the broken bones - he is in a LOT of pain yet. In fact - all he is doing is basically catching bits of sleep here and there - but no amount of pillows to keep his leg propped up seems to help either. He has been only on a few liquids (jello, broth, etc) since this happened yesterday. I tried to get him to eat something - but he isn't hungry and won't even try. He has great difficulty even moving his leg a few inches. The doc said no walking on that ankle for 4 weeks. I was worried about his getting enough nutrition/calories before this happened - now I'm afraid he'll lose too much too quickly again. His muscle tone still has not come back to the way it was. This I think is probably what caused this accident to happen in the first place. He twisted around on his foot and he said his knee gave out on him, and that's how he fell. Gosh, you would think after all that milk I was giving him with the Ovaltine, he would have pretty strong bones by now. Anyways - sorry to ramble on, but I am just so frustrated right now. I still don't know if and when he cam make his appt. with the oral surgeon - he's in too much pain right now and can't move hardly at all.
