This week was the week of injuries for our elders and one sister. Elder Ostler started off the week with a bad ingrown toenail that got infected and nasty looking. Note the sandals. His toe is starting to get better after a lot of foot soaks and not wearing socks or shoes that rub against his toe. Elder Phillips is not complaining, but an old ankle injury to the tendons on both side of one foot is complaining as he walks and goes up all the stairs to their apartment. He is a power gymnast and does way cool flips a hundred at a time (slight exaggeration) anyway, he is not yet on crutches. Sister Mathews got tendinitis in one ankle and couldn't put any weight on it, and while maneuvering the stairs on crutches slipped down a step and sprained her good ankle. Sister Wagoner is healthy and going strong.
This past week has been a week of a lot of hospital visits for our members as well. One had heart trouble, one had a bad ulcer attack, one sisters husband was in the hospital and not expected to live, but he is still hanging on, and one sister had some exploratory surgery . We are getting to know the hospital system quite well.
I hope all of our family stays healthy and out of the hospital. Our good health is such a blessing that we don't appreciate until we have something go wrong.
