Ouch! That's a tough break, no pun intended. Give Carol my best wishes
for a complete recovery.
Last year, two days before Thanksgiving, my daughter-in-law got home
from her final grocery shopping and tripped on a rug, with a simpler,
but painful fracture. Two days later, she was the "kitchen boss",
directing her kids and their spouses to get all of the work done. They
produced a fine holiday meal. Though she still feels an ache from time
to time, she has made an almost total recovery.

Rosanne Roseannadanna is still right.
While we were visiting with Carol's sister and brother in law, we went
to a Longhorn Steakhouse, our first visit to a steakhouse in forever -
and - a mistake.
On her way to the bathroom, Carol gave wide berth to a wet floor sign
and ". . . next thing I know, I'm flying through the air . . .". The
result was a badly broken ankle, visits to two hospitals that night
and return 'home' about 5 am.
In her lovely new cast, she couldn't have negotiated the steep stairs
at our next two destinations or wandered around out in nature. And
then, she needed a follow-up within 5-7 days. All options considered,
we waited a few days with family, to let things settle down,
especially swelling and let Carol recover a bit, then flew home.
We missed half our planned trip, but fortunately had accomplished both
list member visits. :-) Tomorrow, it's out-patient surgery, and the
prospect that she'll be completely well again in 6-8 weeks. She's
slowly becoming adept with her knee scooter around the house and in
good spirits, but for bouts of boredom.
A series of Pacific storms are starting, so I guess it's an early
winter for us, better than missing the light and weather of other
seasons.
