Sue and I have forged such a friendship that we can complete each other’s sentences most of the time.

I love her like a sister, even though we have never met, so you can imagine my distress when she called me Thursday.

It seems she had her furnace worked on Wednesday and had the need to turn it on on Thursday morning. The furnace wouldn’t kick in so she called the people who worked on the furnace. She was told to go to the basement and check something so see if it was working properly.

While going to the basement, she twisted her left foot and fell on the last step of the stairs. She crawled back up the stairs to tell the people whatever it was they wanted to check wasn’t working.

Because she tends her two granddaughters in the morning and one in the afternoon due to the older one being in half-day kindergarten she had to stay calm while in excruciating pain.

She got hold of her daughter and her husband. Her daughter took her to the ER while Grandpop took care of the girls.

She has broken her left foot from the small toe up. She said the X-Rays look like a broken tree trunk, as it is splintered and surgery will be required to repair the fracture.

She’s on “happy pills” now, but won’t take two when the instructions say she can because she doesn’t want to be too dependent on pain pills. I told her to take the second one so she can sleep and if the instructions say every 4 to 6 hours take it in 4 hours to keep the pain under control.

Needless to say, my workhorse will be out of commission for awhile and we’ll miss her commentary.

The most important thing, though, is not the blog but her healing. I ask your prayers that she will recover quickly and not suffer too much longer.

Thank you, and I love you, Sue.
