This lovely fruit basket was sent to cheer Ken while he is in the hospital. Sadly, he can't eat anything in it at present because they had him on a soft foods only diet. For those who may not know, Ken fell in his workshop December 2nd and lost all leg strength. He had to go to the emergency room and they admitted him since he wasn't able to use his legs at all! He is not going to make it home for Christmas. Is probably looking at back fusion surgery, then time in a rehab, and about six months for full recovery. Prayers are appreciated!
Many thanks for your kind comments and favs. All are always so appreciated!
Glad of the update Barb…..I was getting concerned. Poor Ken not where you want to be at Christmas. Sounds like a bit if a long job but lots of plans to get him back on his feet & home again. Thinking if you both as you adjust to new situations. Hope you are mobile & able to drive. Best wishes to Ken.
Ooh- poor Ken! And poor you, too, Barb! My goodness, back fusion surgery! Wishing Ken all the best and sending you both love and strength to help you through this! xo
@happypat Yes, I am mobile and able to drive! Spending a good portion of every day at the hospital with Ken. His spirits have improved a bit over what they were the first few days, which were really hard for him. Greatly appreciate your friendship and concern! 💕
I realised I hadn't seen a recent post from you, Barb.
Thank you for the update.
It sounds as though it's going to be a lengthy road to recovery for Ken.
Take care of yourself too.
I wonder what adaptations can be made to the workshop to keep Ken as occupied and productive as he always is, while he is rehabilitating?
I just saw this, Barb, and I am so sorry about Ken! You have both had some challenges recently. I hope you are able to take care of yourself while Ken recovers.
@eudora So appreciate your comments, Diane! I am doing pretty well, just a bit weary and brain on overload. Several good friends are rallying around with encouraging phone calls and other expressions of support! Wishing you a very blessed Christmas season that lasts right into 2026! 🎄💕
@anniesue Amen, Annie-Sue! It's important that I make time for 365, even if I don't manage daily photos of my own. Don't want to fall out of touch with all you folks whose friendship I've found and valued here!
So sorry to hear this Barb & I pray he will respond well to surgery & have a full recovery!
