2022 rolls in with hopes of a better year for everyone.... Early on New Year’s Day I received a call from my youngest son. He and his wife as well as my oldest son and his wife were in Miami at the Orange bowl to cheer on their Michigan wolverines. My son’s voice was shaking on the phone when he told me he was in the ER in Miami hospital and that he had been assaulted by a group of Georgia fans and they had broken his arm in 2 places.... he would need surgery. He was scared.... I was shocked and very upset. We needed to get him on a flight from Miami to My winter home to see an orthopedic specialist. After much shuffling Delta managed to get him a late flight and he arrived early Sunday morning... hospital here got him in to orthopedic surgeon early Monday.... surgery was scheduled for Wednesday. Wednesday morning he tested positive at hospital for Covid .... would they do surgery.... OMG... call from Dr office ... the Dr had family emergency.... no surgeries on Wednesday. PANIC AND ANXIETY....
Dr.’s office called at 11:45 ... Dr was going to do my son’s surgery... be there at 12:15.
At 7:30 pm we picked him up outside the hospital... no one was allowed in with him. That entire afternoon had been torture. I paced 100 miles through my house....waiting for word on my son.
Come to find out the doctors’s mother had died early that morning....Dr. came in anyway to do 2 surgeries...my son was one of those. after the surgery I thanked him on the phone and told him as a mother I knew his mother must be very proud of his character ... and my sincere thanks and condolences.....and he started to cry .... and I did too. There is nothing stronger than 2 people who do not know one another ...sharing tears of emotion. Sometimes you wonder about these kind of connections ... and know there is a power greater than us
My son is on the mend with 2 plates and pins in his arm ... I am concerned about my exposure to Covid and hope I get through with a mild case if I do come down with it ... these emotional life events take me awhile to work through ... it’s like my body was shocked and needs days to heal ... I just wanted to share this with my greatest support group ... all of you!
