So sorry that y'all are having to go through all of that. I understand the running on empty part of it. Prayers for y'all.
I don't know if it's a bone density problem or just atrophy from not using his leg muscles like he used to. We're chalking up the 2022 compound fracture to just getting bifocals and he said he felt like he was walking on a ship at sea. I do know he doesn't have the reaction time prior to his spinal surgeries and his hands get numb if it's below 50 degrees. And he's a hot mess!Wow TC, does he have problems with his bone density or is he just awkward at falling. I know when I fall these days I seem to go down harder and faster. Look after yourself TC and I hope Mr TC heals fast with minimal pain. He seems to have healed well from previous injuries.

I can relate to the eyes bit TC, my double vision affects my judgement of distances and I am always misplacing my feet and tripping over and as I said earlier the speed that you go down seems to be faster. One thing I don't tend to do and that is to put my hand out to try and break the fall.I don't know if it's a bone density problem or just atrophy from not using his leg muscles like he used to.

Now that's funny!my wife would have trailer weaned me 2 years ago.
Even while he's still in the hospital where EMS took him in Wichita, the PT they started the day after his 2nd surgery has been a game changer. And he's bound & determined to regain as much as his independence as possible, so that's a plus. He can only use his left side, but he'll continue rigorous PT even after he's graduated from a wheelchair.WOW and double wow... thoughts with you TC and your husband. Hoping that the stint in the therapy/rehab will help him build up his strength and help him heal better.... maybe they have come up with some newer ways of coping/dealing with his reactions and balance issues.
Prayers right back at you & Kathy! Is she going to a specialist in Scottsboro?Prayers for both of you . Going through a scary situation with my Kathy . Rapid heart rate , up and down blood pressure, anxiety attacks , you name it . Probably putting up with me for 50 years , 45 married and 5 dating. She's as tough as nails but this has really been tough on her .
Only because one of my stepdaughters came down Monday and another one flew in from Michigan today, and because of an incredible support system of friends & neighbors. I was thiiiis close to just losing my shyt. Sleep has been optional.Hang in there you're tough as they get.
Gotta admit that as I get older it's getting weird...Only because one of my stepdaughters came down Monday and another one flew in from Michigan today, and because of an incredible support system of friends & neighbors. I was thiiiis close to just losing my shyt. Sleep has been optional.
I am so sorry that you and Mr. TC are going through this. This would be rough on any couple that was retired and living in a condo in Florida. But to maintain a ranching operation AND deal with this, takes a special kind of people. Y'all truly embody the pioneer spirit that made this country so great. Don't neglect to take care of yourself, too, @TCRanch. I do pray for y'all in my prayers every night. And you and Kathy too, @coachg.Only because one of my stepdaughters came down Monday and another one flew in from Michigan today, and because of an incredible support system of friends & neighbors.

No mam , Huntsville Heart Center . It's there or go to Birmingham. Wish I was closer so I could help with the farm chores !Prayers right back at you & Kathy! Is she going to a specialist in Scottsboro?
