Just a quick update--and thanks to you all for your good wishes!
Carlene is doing better day by day. She's home, where she wants to be, and maneuvering well with the walker.
The pelvic fracture is painful, and the medicine she's taking for that has its side effects, but she has an excellent nursing staff of one every day--her daughter-in-law, Jocelyn, who has amazing instincts and bedside skills!
She also has numerous friends, good Southern cooks, who bring food. The refrigerator is packed so full at the moment that I'm not sure we could wedge in a carrot stick.
So that's my job--warming up gifts of lasagne and soup and cornbread and eating my share of honey-baked ham and Christmas cookies. (My other job is to help Jocelyn in any ways I can--and just to be here and watch Carlene's steady progress back to movement and balance!)
Next week, she begins in-home physical and occupational therapy twice a week. She's brave and determined, tired and optimistic, and so grateful--as we all are--that her injuries are relatively mild considering the total destruction of her little white Malibu.
