Re: OT: Regarding a freak accident to my hubby..it is long...sorry!
Terri, just going back and reading some of the messages I've missed. Sure sorry to hear about your husband, and hope all is going well. Thoughts and prayers coming for you.

It is very dangerous. Yesterday, my husband was about 20 feet behind a tractor that had a brush mower on it which was operated by his friend. My husband was looking for items that may have been sticking out of the ground that the mower didn't get. Anyway, a huge rock flew out from the mower and my husband said he seen it at the corner of his eye. By then it was too late. The rock hit him on his right arm below the elbow and broke his arm in two places. I had to call 911 for help he was bleeding and going into shock. He was taken to the hospital and had x-rays done on him. The time was around noontime that this happened. My Dr. was on call who is a orthopedic surgeon had to do emergency surgery on him. I have a lot of faith in him as he done my knee replacements and other bone surgeries. One of the bones is shattered in my husband's arm and he said it look like a gunshot wound. He was taken into surgery about 5 pm was returned back to his room about 9:15 pm last night. The Dr. told me he was bad that he could lose his arm especially below the elbow. He has muscle and tissue damage. Many fragments of the bone was floating in his arm. Did what he could do for him at this point. Only time will tell. Since, my husband is a Diabetic and has HEP C from tainted blood in the 60's from a blood transfusion he is considered high risk. He has a tube in him that they call a Vacu this is to suck all the infection and excess blood from the area. He is also on two different IV lines for the loss of blood and for antibiotics. He is being monitored closely. I did noticed his blood pressure was high. So he will be in the hospital for at least some time. He will be taken back into surgery tomorrow to check out more of the damage and try to repair more of his arm. By the way my husband is right handed this is the arm that got injured. Some of you already know he just had two recent right shoulder surgeries on the same arm. He was supposed to return back to work for light duty on the 19th of this month. Believe it or not he was looking forward going back to work after being off for almost a year. Now that this has happened I don't know what we are going to do. Please pray and hope he doesn't lose part of his arm. That he makes full recovery.

Update:Re: OT: Regarding a freak accident to my hubby..it is long...sorry!
Hi all, I wanted to update you all of what's been going on with my husband. My husband is on a lot of pain meds and is cantankerous. He isn't a happy camper. I have been at the hospital a lot and it is showing. I'm so tired when I do get home I'm only sleeping a few hours. I keep waking up then decide to get up and go back to the hospital. Of course feed the animals and such before leaving. On Friday the Drs. did the second surgery to look at the area and decide on what they are going to do. They cleanse the area and to check for new tissue growth. There is a lot of muscle and skin tissue damage plus the one bone is not connected due to it being shattered. They put a fresh VAC tube in him and closed him up. Came out to talk to me and said he needs to have a bone and skin grafts done. ASAP The Dr. said they would use a bone donor or take bone from his hip and take skin from his thigh area. This would the next surgery. The third surgery is today. My husband is still not out of danger yet. The Drs. are working hard to help and save his arm. So please keep your prayers coming...thanks! God bless you all.
