Richard had a vein in his ankle burst while he was in our kitchen. Luckily, I was around to help get the bleeding stopped. We were quite worried that we wouldn't be able to stop the bleeding since it was squirting out whenever his heart would beat. I called 911 and took a couple of long tube socks and tied them crosswise over the ankle. It was the only thing I could think of doing at the time and it did the trick. By the time they came with the ambulance, the bleeding was stopped but I sure had a mess to clean up...and we've had to re-bandage his ankle every day since then. It's taking a long time to heal.
Richard had carpal tunnel surgery last Thurs. He's doing fine, but he was pretty helpless right after the surgery. I had to help him do everything. So, the last few days I've been nurse, cook, dishwasher, housekeeper, pet wrangler, and lumberjack...not much time for any fun.
