Unexpected Things

Frank stayed home from exercise today because of his knee. After I got home from exercise, I called Dr Walker's office but he wouldn't be in the office all week and the nurse told me to take Frank to Medical East to see about his knee. He had fallen and knocked his right knee on the floor Dec 31, 2014 and it was still giving him problems. He got it X-rayed there and found that he had broken his patella or knee cap. So he had gone 5 days with a broken knee cap and we didn't know it. There was an orthopedic Dr next door to Medical East, a walk in clinic, so they put him in a wheelchair and wheeled him into the Dr's office. We didn't have to wait too long before we saw the Dr.  He put a big leg brace on him and told him to wear it 24/7-not to take if off except to bathe and to keep his leg straight. We'll see the Dr in 2 weeks and if it is healing, he'll move the gears on the brace a little so it will bend and I bet he'll have to wear it another 2-4 weeks. If the bone is not healing, he might have to do surgery and but 2 screws in the patella to hold it together. Poor Frank. He can't grow old in peace, something's always happening.

Trudy was going to do a craft day with Carol and her girls Friday, my birthday, but she had conflicts and had to cancel. We'll do it the 23rd or the 30th whichever is good for the Walker's. It will be a lot of fun when we get to do it.
