We're Here!

OK-so it's been awhile-we haven't had the best of weeks!
Update on Chris and Sara-
Chris is doing OK. He is still off from work and seeing the doctor almost daily. In addition to scraping most of the skin off of his arms, hands, legs and back he messed up his knee and back. The doctor is saying he should be doing better by next week. In the meantime they are struggling with all of the 'stuff' that comes along with an accident-doctors, bills and lawyers. The guy who pulled out in front of him is the one who got the ticket, so now they have to deal with that. The doctor is telling them he wants paid up front since it does not get billed to his health insurance-Chris's Dad and Stepmom are helping them with all of that since she works for the lawyer.
Meanwhile, David had a fall on Saturday (lucky us! we spent two evenings in a row in the ER).
He has massive bruising on his left arm-in fact it is a funny shade of gray/green from his shoulder to his hand. Both the doctors and I would have sworn it was broken since it had two rather large bumps on it, however xrays show nothing. They said if it is not better next week he will probably need an MRI to see if he tore something. Meanwhile he is in a lot of pain! I am a little worried about him-some weird stuff has been going on. One day he could not say a sentence he wanted to say-the words just would not come out. Then he fell, then he fell out of bed and then he fell again. I don't know if it is just the meds he takes or what. Now they have him on even more painkillers for his arm, so he pretty much sleeps most of the time.
In between all this action at home I had to spend two days working in Memphis at one of the stores there. One day was from 6 a to 8 p and the other from 6 a to 10:30 p. Then Tuesday was my day off-I worked took off and took David to Memphis for his meds check up and then came back and worked till close. Next day back at 5 a followed by a trip to Memphis again for a meeting! I made up a picnic lunch for David every morning so he did not have to leave the bedroom -we figure it our one way or another! Did I say I have been to Memphis four times this week!! We had "visitors" from corporate in the market-then they surprised us by coming to Jonesboro on Wednesday. All in all I am pretty tired and looking forward to my weekend off!!! I promised Sara I would cook some casseroles for them and help her out on Saturday around her house. Hopefully it will be nice so I can mow their yard.
OK-so now you know what I have been doing! I hope you are all having a better week!!
LOVE YOU ALL!
