A Word from Dad

Well I wish I would have stayed home after church yesterday. We decided to go picture taking. First picture, I fell and either cracked or broke a rib. But we decided to go on because it really didn't hurt that bad. Well, I fell again taking another picture. That did it; we went home. Of coarse unloading Sherry's scooter I fell again. That did it. I have only been seen in the house since.

God bless and take care, Larry

What dad didn't say above is that his first fall was on his chest and he came very close to hitting the chemo port that is about 2 or 3 inches from his heart. If he would have hit the upper part of his chest any harder, the port could have punctured his heart. The story would have been a lot different than a few sore ribs. Thankfully, he chose to stay inside today but he is very, very sore. Mom says he looks like a piece of raw meat because his hands and elbows and legs are all skinned up.

We appreciate all of your prayers and support.
