SWMBO slipped and fell on some narrow stairs in this old house. This happened last night. She has torn ligaments and fractures and can't do much at the moment. I am fully engaged as nurse/handyman and will be taking a day or two off from SST. pl

Sorry to hear about your wife's accident, Colonel. I hope everything heals as good as new!
My wife and I are also on the + side of 60, and beginning to deal with health issues. I don't recommend old age, if one could avoid it while continuing to stay on the right side of the grass...
Good luck. When my SWMBO was recovering from an ankle fracture a physician colleague suggested high levels of vitamin C, E, etc. Basically there are vitamins and minerals needed by the body to heal, and if they are not sufficient in the body's tissues, then healing is slowed. There are many such sources of information on the web.
Best Wishes for a speedy recovery.

Dear Colonel,
Good luck. When my SWMBO was recovering from an ankle fracture a physician colleague suggested high levels of vitamin C, E, etc. Basically there are vitamins and minerals needed by the body to heal, and if they are not sufficient in the body's tissues, then healing is slowed. There are many such sources of information on the web.

Hope she is not in too much pain. Fractures are bothersome in some cases.
Posted by: The Beaver | 09 October 2015 at 02:25 PM
Same here. Speedy recovery from far away.
