Whats Next?

David is not doing good. You know how it goes, Old people and pains.
His leg is much better, he has to be careful with it, I think more out of concern it can go out than it hurting.
Now his foot is bad. He limps something horrible. He has been limping for several days, He thought he had a stone bruise. (we are not sure at this point).
So he stayed off it as much as possible the last few days, Yesterday he decided to mow the lawn. BIG MISTAKE. He mowed about half the front yard, I walked out and he was using the mower as a walker. It was supporting him as he limped.
I motioned for him to stop, he did and did not go back until today.
ANOTHER BIG MISTAKE.
I went out with him to be sure he did OK. As I mowed the side and back with the tractor, I decided to check on his progress, (slow progress). As I walked around the corner I heard him YELL, Yell loud due to pain. (almost a scream).
He said it felt like something in his heel popped.

He then could not make it to the porch. He tried but the pain was too intense.
I retrieved his cane for him. Poor guy. He is miserable. I urged him to let me mow with the yard tractor. He did not argue much. (David is very picky about how his lawn looks, it must be grass clipping free, edged and crisp).

He sat on the porch and I finished the mowing and then raked the loose grass and put it in the wheel barrow. He said he felt horrible watching me work but truly I did not mind, mowing with the lawn tractor is easy. Besides he could do nothing about it. He absolutely could not walk.
He can walk with the cane but it is a Very Slow Progress, like baby steps.

My arm? Well lets say it is better, but today kind of set me back a little.
So as we sat on the porch later, with our tea, he with his cane. He said, "What is going to happen to us next?"
"We seem to be falling apart".
True, but to quote my brother, "All our pieces belong to each other."

You know for me to see him with a cane is heart breaking. It is not something I want to accept. It seems like an end to an era. No I am not being a downer, I am being realistic.
This is life and we love each weary moment of it, as long as we are together, that will keep us going.

So now the lawn is mowed and clean, The hot tub is hot and we spent about a half hour just relaxing in it, (after the work was done).
I now have the floors vacuumed, mopped and the laundry and kitchen up to par.
Now I can relax.
(Hopefully).
