Ted went outside to take some photos and the brakes on his
walker failed. I am in the hospital most of the time. We
have a wonderful neurosurgeon and I no sooner ask for something than it is done. His ear drum was broken and his
skull fractured and while they have him they may operate on
his lumbar spine. We have a consult with the neurosurgeon
that will operate today. He is at O. U. Medical center,
fifteen minutes from home.

Frantic doesn't begin to describe the state I am in. I
come home twice a day to feed and care for poor Rex and
zoom right back to the hospital.

He landed in the street, hit his head on concrete and has
slight bruising and bleeding on the brain. The neighbor
men swarmed out to help and we left him lying there until
the ambulance came. I am surrounded with love and concern
from neighbors and the children and other relatives. Don't
worry about us, we are going to be fine. I will be in
touch when I know more. Love to all of you.

Larry, I brought him home to day. He will rest up and go back for spine
surgery.

I was getting ready to call you. Take care of yourself, and speedy recovery to Ted. The silver lining is that he might get that back surgery, and the hospital isn't too far away.

He talked to the neuro surgeon and has an appointment in two weeks. He is
taking the case.

Thanks Dottie. He is home as of today and trying to get strong enough for
surgery.
reply by elderjane on Sept 20, 2012 4:26 PM ()
How devastating! The problems don't stop. We're thinking of you. Let us know, when you can, how he is doing.
comment by tealstar on Sept 20, 2012 7:33 AM ()
Well at least we know our way around the hospital now. It ls like a huge
maze. We didn't have a choice as where to go because the ambulance driver
said it was the leading trauma center. It is the University Of Oklahoma's
teaching hospital. Ted was sitting down in the walker and pushing himself
backwards with the cane...not the right way to use it but he wanted a good
view of the new flowers. I was in the house when it happened...he isn't
going to try anything like that again.

Check that walker to find out why the brakes failed. Maybe the mfr. is responsible for shoddy construction.
reply by tealstar on Sept 20, 2012 7:34 AM ()
Please call me for whatever you need.

Thank you sweetie. I may need you to put a jacket on the hot water heater
in the attic when I find one. Will message or call.
