While at the Rich household last weekend Brad decided to play an intense game of basketball with his brothers out back. He came hobbling in and said that someone kicked him in the back of the leg. He couldn't walk very well and there was a lump on the back of his leg...Some of you can probably guess what happened.
Well, we came home and after some internet reading decided Brad had probably partially torn his achilles tendon. He was still walking around (though hobbling), and not in too much pain.
He had an appointment with the MD today at one. He called and broke the news to me that he had RUPTURED his Achilles tendon and has to get surgery on Friday. He will be on crutches for six weeks and then have to do therapy after that. From what I've heard, it's a LONG recovery. Poor guy!
And...poor me! I have a six week old and a two year old. I have a calling in church where I have to play the piano. Don't know how that's going to work if my husband can't carry my six week old. I guess you don't realize how much your hubby helps you until he's injured. Also, don't know how he'll work since he drives around all day. Hopefully his recovery will be quick and relatively painless. Hopefully it won't be as hard as I'm thinking it's going to be. I guess we'll see.
My poor injured man..

I'm so sorry! I can help play piano for you--let me know.
Good luck to both of you. That doesn't sound very fun!
Boo Ash and Brad! That is no good. Hopefully he heals well and fast! Missed you last weekend!
That is why I don't play basketball! Just kidding. That is NOT fun at all! Let me know what I can do to help. I would be happy to watch Cooper and/or Ryker anytime. Good luck!
Poor Brad. But seriously, poor you too! I'm sure you're completely busy taking care of your three boys! Hope he heals quickly.
