He fell down a step about 3 weeks ago and both the ER and the ortho Dr. he went to a week later said bad sprain and stay off it.   It wasn&#39;t getting any better though so they finally did an MRI and found 2 fractures which he has now been walking on for 3 weeks and the bones are not aligned any longer so will need plates and screws.   He will be laid up for a minimum of 8 weeks before they even begin PT and when Mike doesn&#39;t work, Mike doesn&#39;t get paid   They are already feeling the pinch of his not working for 3 weeks.   Things are going to get tough for them (and in return, tough for us)<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />MaryLou- when it rains, it pours&#33;&#33;  I am so sorry to hear about Mike&#33;  Hope his surgery is successful.  I can certainly sympathize about work.  Thinking about you and your family. ((HUGS)).
