The wife and I are sitting in the ER. She fell and We're waiting to get an xray of her wrist. If it's broken, this will be the second time.

Update: She did break her right wrist. We have to make an appoint with the Dr. The ER Doctor mentioned she'll need screws and a plate.

@CountMike , Sorry to hear about your Brother. We will be praying for him to have a fast recovery. We went through this with my dad having a couple of strokes. He recovered about 90-95%. The main things were that he had to give up driving and use a walker.

Sorry to hear it's not the news you wanted to hear but here's hoping it's not too bad a break and it heals quickly.

This is the third time she broke a wrist. The second time with the right wrist. She has a Dr. appointment for tomorrow morning. I used to tease her about wrapping her up in bubble wrap. Maybe I should.

My brother suddenly died in hospital today.They said he was getting better and I was already organizing for him to go to a spa for rehabilitation. I'm alone now. I always planned what should happen when I go and to make sure that he is cared for financially and never what if he died first as He was almost 6 years younger and in better health than me. He was my only close relative. left since my that much older half brother died 3 years ago from leukemia.
And there I thought that 2022 was worst as we both had covid 19 and ere hospitalized, But like they say "there is always something worse to come."

Goodbye Germany!

Martin, may I ask reason to your multilingual goodbyes?

Looks like I will need to follow my procedure I used during the last Covid Pandemic and get my doctor to "fax" a script to my pharmacist and then drive to the pharmacist and get the medications as it's safer than waiting in the GP waiting room to consult my GP and collect the script

Nigel, I hope you got your meds, and are feeling OK.

Tnx, I do have friends but not many of my age left. Most help is coming from a young friend I knew from he was little kid and pretty capable guy in early 30s..Other friend I let stay in basement apartment for free is also here and a lot of help. My brother also has a son in his 30s so he will be making all arraignments. I'm almost stranger in my country since I came back from Canada as most of my old friends were gone one way or other. I also got used ti Canada's organizations for everything and here it's almost anarchy. Very bad for organizing anything but a party. Have to be very skilled in way of dealing with officials. One always has to have someone to push things with b0roracy. amd Know nobody. Nepotism is still rampant, "It's not what you know but who you know" is still true. It's Balkan and how it works.

Thank you. They are going to operate on her wrist on the 23rd. She already told the doctor that she wants to be asleep when he does the surgery.

Thanx people right now I'm a mess,a closure will be difficult I know.We had such history together since we were born and loosing his support will be difficult to overcome. We each had different strengths and weaknesses which were interweaving for some success. Also shared some interests like in motorcycles and cars

So sorry Mike.

@CountMike, I feel really sad for you Mike, I'm sorry for your loss.
That's the thing about loved ones passing, their worries, pain and/or suffering, end, but for those remaining, our pain increases.
