As Bailia sat doing Grandma's hair yesterday, in pigtails that I think she should sport regularly, we got a phone call saying Poppy had broken his ankle and was in the emergency room! Everyone loaded up and we headed to the hospital!
When we arrived we found out that he had got up in the middle of the night, went outside, and his foot got caught in a hole that he obviously didn't see. Not wanting to "bother" anyone he laid outside until his wife woke up the next morning! The doctor said if he would have waited much longer to come in, they would have had to amputate his leg! He had dislocated and fractured his ankle, that had to be operated on! They wheeled him into surgery and placed a bunch of screws and plates to put him back together again!
Right before surgery the doctor came in to the room, wrote YES on his foot, and left. Weird-do they need to write yes on the foot that needs to be operated on just in case they forget? I think the leg that is wrapped up like crazy, and is black and blue is the one that needs to be fixed. In his bed right before surgery you could tell he was in a LOT of pain, even though he tried to tell us he was fine! Twenty four hours later, with the surgery under his belt, he looked MUCH better!
Last night after the boys got home from their golf tournament we all headed to Springdale. Yes, AGAIN! But this time we went to the Bit N Spur-YUMMY!
