Thankful Thursdays ~ The next step

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

Monday night we finally talked Geno into going to the ER (hard to move a 6'2" Texan without his permission). He was sure his 3 falls on Saturday just caused some bruising but the excruciating pain he was experiencing coupled with my son and daughter coming over to help lay the down the law, resulted in a trip to the ER Tuesday morning. No blood clot (which was what I was afraid of) but he broke his right leg and a temporary cast was put on!

Doctors and the whole staff were fabulous at Seton Northwest (Geno has experienced several stays there).

Today will be a trip to Texas Orthopedics for a permanent cast with Dr. Smith.....what color do you think would be appropriate? Next stop to find a motorized wheel chair:)

Both good news and bad news but Geno appears to be a real fighter, hope he will back in full step soon.

Glad his leg was diagnosed and is being put in a permanent cast.  I think purple is a pretty cool color.  Also very appropriate for the fall season (no pun intended.)

Wow, I can't believe he had a broken leg and was still wanting to try and just push through it.  Good thing you convinced him to get it checked out and a broken leg is way better than a blood clot.

Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR ARRRGGH. What is it about stubborn and getting seriously injured that they ALWAYS seem to go hand-in-hand? So sorry for all of you. Cast color - what's the color for stubborn?

3 falls - ouch! I'm glad that your kids were able to help talk some sense into him. That could have been really bad if you had waited too long. 

Maybe orange for a fall cast color.

Men seem to have a little harder time seeking out good medical care when it is especially needed.  I hope he is soon on the mend.

Dorie- oh no!!! And yes, there's nothing harder than trying to get a stubborn 6'2" Texan to do anything let alone go to the hospital. I hope that Geno's cast and rehab go smoothly!!! And, treat yourself to an adult beverage or something to help you as you put on the "nurse" hat!

Yikes! People sometimes don't want to admit there is something wrong; but with a broken leg, I'm glad Geno listened to reason and went to the ER! I hope he has a speedy recovery!

Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR Oh, poor Geno...but good for you for getting him to concede to going to the doctor!

In regards to the cast color...my favorite color, of course, is perfect for stubborn and that's black.  Black is a color which represents the absence of any color (opinions) but itself.

HI Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR - Glad Geno decided (with an intervention..LOL) to go to the ER. He is so lucky to have you and family to "lay down the law"!  I am sure once you get him a motorized wheel chair he will be doing just fine!
