My get pushed challenge this week was to photograph hands from different generations interacting - fingers entwined in a shared moment. This week it has been very difficult to concentrate on any photography but I managed to snap this one with my iPhone. Hubby had to go back to hospital on Tuesday with an infection in his knee. He has been on very strong antibiotics ever since and in three days time he will have surgery to remove his knee replacement (from 2017) and also the plates and screws holding together his shattered femur (from 3 1/2 months ago). Hopefully removing all the hardware will enable the infection to get under control. His leg will be like this for probably 3 months and if all the infection is gone, he will have another knee replacement. On Tuesday is his big 70 birthday. We have been planning for months to celebrate this in Fiji with the whole family. We told them all they had to go even though we couldn't. It does feel funny and awful though to have no family around. Here Rocky was saying bye to Grandad. We have asked for lots of photos and videos, and everyone seems to be having a wonderful time.
Aw such a special bond. Such a shame that your hubby will miss out on his own birthday celebration but hopefully he will be on the road to recovery when they all return to have a belated celebration.
This is such a sweet photo. With all that you have been facing I'm not surprised that photography has taken a back seat. I hope that your husband's surgery goes well and the infection is soon under control.
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful pic and yet a sad story to accompany it. I do hope your husband gets better soon, and that you can truly celebrate his 70th birthday. x
Hope your husband is on the mend?
