Husbear Update

A couple people have asked as of late how the Husbear is doing, and I’ve been negligent on providing updates. Thank you for asking!

The Husbear has recovered/ing remarkably well. He’s back at the gym and on the treadmill regularly. He still gets swelling in his right leg on occasion, usually from standing on it all day at work, but nothing like the previous swelling. And he still has a large “dent” in this leg where the muscle was crushed, which will probably take years to repair itself, if ever.

And the gray hair he’s given me from this incident is coming in nicely… 😉

Until next time...

When it rains…

Thursday brought with it an excess of 20 to 45 mph wind gusts in our area. Fun times.

We came home to this.

The carnage.
The carnage.

One tree took out two other trees in a domino effect.

So much wood.
So much wood.

With the way our luck has gone as of late, I should probably hire someone to cut and stack this for us. Just what I need is a chainsaw wound.

I should probably hire someone to cut this up.

And I get to repair the deck I just built too.

And part of my deck is broken too.

I guess I should just be happy it missed my barn.

Husbear Update, Friday

I posted part of this on Facebook earlier today. Everything checked out at the doctor today. The Husbear’s right leg is still pretty swollen. And bruises are starting to manifest on both legs and a few other places.

He’s trying to be a little more mobile, getting himself around the house with the assistance of a quad base cane, albeit slowly. And quite uncomfortable looking to do, I might add. Today he also tried to not use the cane on occasion.

His right foot was a lot more puffy tonight. Cabbage Patch doll feet puffy. I don’t know if he had his leg up as much as he should have and that’s the result, or it’s just his body working it’s thing. We’ll see how that looks in the morning.

He says he’s so bored and going stir crazy. I have a feeling I’ll need to tie him down before this weekend is over. I told him if he was so bored he could watch “Doctor Who”. He said he wasn’t that bored. Humph!

Until next time...
