This week has been just about as challenging as it has gotten for us so far! On Sunday, we got up and went to church, came home and had some lunch and Brian went off to his soccer game. He has been playing in a men's league here and it has been a great outlet for him. With all the stress that we have been under, he needed that in a serious way.
around 4 pm Luke went down for his nap and I decided to do the same. About 30 minutes into my sleep, I heard my phone ringing but it was somewhere in the back of my mind and it wasn't enough to shake me to reality. Then I started to hear a horn from the garage. I thought that Brian had forgotten his key. I slowly, and angrily, got up and went to let him in. When I looked out, he was just sitting in his Jeep with tears in his eyes and told me that he needed my help, that he couldn't get out of the car. Brian has had many problems with his right knee stemming back to high school when he had a total knee reconstruction for a torn ACL, PCl and MCL. A few years ago, he had another surgery to remove some bone spurs. He gets injections in his knee a couple times a year because he has arthritis in his knee and there is no cartilage in there. He explained to me that he hurt his knee and needed help getting out of the car. I helped him into the house and got him some ice, only to watch him put it on his LEFT knee!!
Long story short, Brian is on crutches and can't put any weight on his knee at all. He is going to see a doctor tomorrow for the official diagnosis but he is pretty sure that something in there is torn. Meanwhile, I am taking care of Brian and Luke (Jake too) and trying to hold it together. Now is the time that I really wish that we had friends and family here because, man, I could use some help! Hopefully the doctor will be able to give us some good news. We could use some! I'm afraid everyday of what is no come, what other bad thing can happen to us. It's got to end at some point right????
