DH's turn to break the ice....
This morning we were trying to get his truck defrosted so he could leave for work...that is if we could ever get him out of the frozen drive. Anyway, I heard him fall and then something pop. I don't know what he did, but he was holding his leg and screaming. He said he couldn't feel his toes and that it was burning.
We had to call an ambulance out to get him because I can't get out to take him. The ambulance almost didn't make it here and they were sliding everywhere too. It is bad here.
I told him I would be there as soon as some of this starts to melt and I could back out of the drive.
Texans and ice just don't mix!!!

Thank you for your kind words.
He is doing better. The dr. said he tore some ligaments and that is what we heard pop and that he has a severe sprain in 2 places. He put a splint and partial cast on it and gave him some crutches and told him to stay off of it.

Oooh torn ligaments can be so painful and take a long time to heal. I'm so sorry to hear of this.
Will be keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you. He has never been on crutches before and you can tell. I might as well get up and do whatever he needs myself because it takes him forever. He will get the hang of it soon....I hope. It was hurting really bad last night.

Ouch! I've done the ligament thing & it sure does hurt. Hope you are both feeling better soon & standing on ice free ground.
