As some of you know last year my husband severely sprained his ankle. He tripped over the step in our garage out in WA and stretched the ligaments on both sides of his ankle. Well they never healed properly. Yesterday, Thursday September 16th, Richard went in for surgery. The doctor made a cut about 3 inches long right below they ankle bone. He sewed the ligaments back together using fiber wire. Now it's been one day and my poor husband is sitting on the couch in pain. He has to wear a walking boot for 10 days. Then he'll visit the Doc and have the stitches removed and then be put into a regular cast for another 3 weeks. 28 consecutive days of convalescent leave.
Thank you everyone for your prayers and support. It means the world to us.

Hello My Name Is..Earl
Everyone in CT is wondering is Earl going to change course? And How bad is it going to be? I myself am debating on whether evacuating or not would be beneficial. I've been through a few hurricanes and have never evacuated. So has Richard, my husband. I'm all for being prepared. My motto: "I'd rather look stupid and be prepared or be stupid and not have done anything.". And that statement couldn't be more true.
What harm is it to stock up on some non-perishables, medical supplies, water, batteries, flashlights etc.? Then come across the day when something big strikes, and have the possibility of being evacuated or worse, stranded without supplies. I don't see that as stupidity. An ounce of prevention yadda yadda yadda so the saying goes. Those of you who know it feel free to fill in. My husband wasn't too keen on the idea of preparing for this so-called hurricane. He's from FL and lived through many, many storms. So of course he would be the expert. Until I pointed out the flooding in March and the various confirmed tornadoes that have touched down in recent months. Then he changed his tune. I told him, "I would rather look stupid in stocking up, than to be stupid and not have prepared at all.".
Sorry about the grammar mistakes.
