Well, with the new year there always seems to come some problem or another. My husband was taken into our local hospital yesterday with a suspected fracture of the hip.
Thankfully the Xray showed that it was not a break, but possibly hip bones crunching together. We are not yet sure and there are more tests to be had.
A somewhat desperate Dr told me that there was a 12 hour wait for a bed, the hospital was overflowing, and that he might have to spend the night on a trolley.
Our hospital is overstretched, but the staff are kind and caring.
I am visiting this afternoon, with my daughter ,who having been in the medical profession is so good at cutting through red tape, and we will see the Occupational therapist for some advice.
As he cannot weight-bear at the moment they feel it is unsafe for him to be at home, so he may transfer to a small Community hospital where there will be some physiotherapy built in.

Life was never going to be like this.
I'm thankful we did so much when we were able.
Your prayers would be so appreciated, thank you.

Thank you Anglea, I do appreciate your care.
I'm so sorry to hear of the troubles you and your husband are facing at the moment.
You are blessed with having your daughter close and who is willing and able to step in for you as an advocate.
I will certainly hold this matter up in prayer and trust the Lord will carry you through.
Bless you♡
Thank you Debbie, you are so kind.
That sounds so worrying for you. You are both in your prayers - as are the over-stretched hospital staff.
Oh Barbara....
I know exactly what you are going through! I am praying right now and will continue to pray for you both! I am so glad your daughter is there with you! I know what you mean when you say life wasn’t supposed to be like this....hang on to those memories my friend and just keep cherishing those small moments ❤️❤️ Sending hugs and love your way!
I am so sorry to hear of your husband's hip injury. You both will be in my prayers!
Philippians 4:19
Thinking of you and praying. We never know what will come our way but we know the ONE who knows!
I am so sorry to hear this, Elizabeth! I have been thinking of you and praying for you both, and now know what specifically to be praying for. I am praying for healing and also for God's comfort and peace for you both!
I am so sorry to read of your husband's injury, Barbara, and very glad that your daughter is now there and able to advocate in the system for you. Life gives unexpected turns and events, that's for certain. May you find peace in knowing that God is ever faithful and you are both in His loving care. Prayers and hugs.
Praying for you, Barbara. May God bring healing and comfort to both you and your husband. xo
Sorry to hear this. Hope a bed becomes available. Praying for you all.
So sorry to hear this about your hubby. Pray all goes well and he has a speedy recovery.
oh dear one! I am so very sorry!!!! Will be praying esp for you and your Husband! love to you, a big hug and my prayers!
So sorry to read of this most recent difficulty for you and your husband! Indeed, we cannot know what is ahead, and I think that is a mercy. I watched a short message by John Courson a few days ago. Even though Mr. Courson has endured a lot of tragedy in his lifetime (even now, his son is dying of cancer), his words were encouraging and faith-building. I'll try to leave the link here, in case you'd be interested in viewing it yourself. (It is only about 15 minutes long.)

I'll be praying. May God give you and your husband strength and His all-powerful grace.
Dear Barbara, sending boatloads of good wishes. I so hope that your dear husband is going to recover quickly. How good to have your daughter next to you now. Je t'embrasse bien fort, xxx
So sorry to hear about your Husbands injury, he will be in my prayers for a speedy recovery. Take care of yourself.
Thank you all so much for your kind comments.
Dear Sweet Elizabeth, I am adding you and your husband to my prayers.
God bless you both,
Connie :)
And you have them my dear friend ... remember that Our Father is with you through it all. Rest in Him ...
You and your dearest are definitely in our thoughts here Barbara - hoping so much he will rally quickly, and so thankful you now have your daughter nearby as that will be such a great help to you dear.
You're all in our prayers.
Hugs - Mary
Sending prayers and healing hugs for you both & your family. Stay strong
Dear Barbara,
My thoughts and prayers are with Malcolm and you! All the best! I hope they can find a solution soon.
Big hugs, Carolien
Oh dear friend, I'm so sorry to hear of the health troubles that your husband is enduring through! Praying that somehow the right help can be found for him! Certainly no one wants to face these kinds of issues at all! You both will be in my prayers! Praying that with your daughter's help that you can get some answers!
I’m sorry you are going through this, Barbara. Praying for your husband and you!
I will join the others in praying for you and your husband. You sound quite down, which is natural. Praying that God will comfort you and give you peace, that the doctors will pinpoint the problem and that your husband will be better soon.
You're having a trying time, Barbara. I hope things get better soon. At least you don't have voles!
I'm so sorry this is going on in your life right now. Praying for your husband and for you.
Thinking of you x
Will be thinking of you and say a prayer x
Oh dear Barabara. So sorry not to have seen this before now and I do hope by now that Malcolm is feeling more comfortable after his accident - maybe even home. But unfortunately it's the shockof falling that hits us more as we get older - I myself fell last Thursday, in home and it took me an age to get back on my feet. Still feeling shaky now- but I have some very pretty bruises to show! Very best wishes for Malcolm's recovery and a gentle hug for you (((((hug))))) xx
I am so sorry, Barbara!! I just now saw this and will add you and your husband to my prayers. It is so hard when someone we love and care for deeply is incapacitated like this. It is a helpless feeling but knowing you are there with him and loving him through this is a great comfort to him and your family. Bless you, sweet friend, and know you are being lifted up.
