Last Sunday night, my wife fell down our basement stairs broke her right leg. This isn't some pansy hair-line fracture. Heavens no! She broke the living daylights out of it! Anyway, Monday morning she had surgery to insert an adamantium "nail" along her tibia. This is in lieu of a hip-to-ankle cast. Tuesday evening she came home from the hospital.

Aw, snap! Rose's adamantium leg

She's doing okay now. Getting her to the potty and only getting 90 minutes of sleep at a time is rough on both of us. Each day she gets a little stronger, and getting up gets a little easier.

The whole point of this is that she's not getting a real cast. That means there's nothing for anybody to sign. What a rip off! So, this is her virtual cast. You can leave messages for her here. If you have any troubles, drop me an e-mail, and I'll sort it out.

We'll see you tonight. :^)

The news was out that your leg was broken, but, whoa, you SERIOUSLY broke your leg! Jesus F. Christ!

I wish you increasing hours of good sleep and hopefully at least you got some awesome medications.

This has not been what I would have written on an actual cast. That would have been something like "get well soon!"

Leg-oh my what? Thanks for being so understanding about the tardiness of my "best wishes"!!! At least you got your handicapped parking permit out of it, huh? I think those are good for 6 months, so you should REALLY enjoy your Holiday mall shopping this year. Love ya lots and I won't forget my promise to you 2!!!

Man, sorry it took me so long to sign! Shelby just had her tonsils out and was 'out-of-sorts' the first four days...but she DID bitch at me for not letting her know your plight. I told her if she'd read her emails, she'd know! Hope things are looking up!?
