Sunday was a welcome reprieve. We didn't work on the project.

K.O. and Danny were helping Larry put a new grill in at the Better Burger. I offered to help but they said they had all the help they needed and space was cramped. The largest project within their project was cleaning between the removal of the old grill and installation of the new one.
When I last talked with K.O. he said they had finished, or thought they had, when they lit the new grill to discover a gas leak under it.

I did quite a few small things that needed to be done. I hung some Southwest decorative items in our entry way, worked on the pool and finally, let Krl's auto-vac loose. It sure seems that the pool has been difficult to get stabilized this year.

Friday Krl had been in the kitchen and turned on her bad leg. She heard something pop and immediately she could not bear any weight on her left leg. She had called me (I was at K.O.'s shop) but with it being the fourth she didn't want to go to the doctor. Yesterday she did some checking and learned that Doctor Mackie was in, so we loaded up and went to see him.

Our major concern was that she might have re-injured her leg. The orthopedic doctor who treated her last year told her it could take two years for the spiral fracture to fully heal. Of course it has only been seventeen months. The doctor had told Krl she needed to be extremely careful.

When I looked at Krl's leg, it appeared that this time the swelling was lower, but with her old break just above the ankle, it was hard to tell. The nurse x-rayed Krl's leg, taking seven pictures of the lower leg and foot. Before the film was even developed Dr. Mackie was checking on Krl.

Finally the x-rays were ready and put on the board. Much to our relief, Krl's leg appeared to be o.k.. However, her foot is broken. Dr. Mackie is setting it up for her to go see Dr. Cook, an orthopedic surgeon. This is not the same doctor Krl used last year, per Krl's request.

In the mean time, they fitted Krl with a post-op shoe.

Once again, our living room looks like a chair parking lot. Wheel chair and secretary's chair (which Krl uses to go in and out of the narrow bathroom door).

Our next stop was to drop off Krl's prescription to be filled.

In addition to sending Krl to Dr. Cook, he is also setting it up to do a bone density study.

This morning I woke and began getting ready to go in to the parts store when I felt my stomach act up. With a very quick onset, I had an upset stomach. Over the past few days out at K.O.'s I knew his oldest son had an upset stomach. Also Krl had wondered if she had a bout with a stomach bug. I don't know where I got it but I got it.

I am trying to postpone a decision until UPS runs. Last week I had ordered a fitting for one of the parts store's largest customers and it is supposed to be in. If I don't feel any better, in a stroke of luck, I brought two files home from the parts store that I can work on. It is one of those horrible jobs of reconciling payments when the customer didn't designate which invoices they wanted it applied to. I have to try various combinations from a large number of invoices, trying to match the check totals. It isn't a big discrepancy, but we show the customer owes sixty-eight dollars and change and they say they don't. I am afraid that fifty-seven dollars of the sixty-eight may be a lost because there is no signature on the invoice. I have discovered that this appears to be an exact duplicate of an invoice printed in the same minute of the same day, so I am hoping it is a computer glitch. Maybe it is something as simple as the computer double posting.

Well, have a day.

FATHER, thank YOU for the restful day yesterday. While we are disappointed that Krl's foot is broken we are thankful that her leg is not. We lift her up for YOUR gifts of healing. We continue to pray for Addison, that she is well, and that we can put together a plan to get her the help she needs.
