Monday, as I was getting ready to leave to drive DD to the Cape for a few days with her grandparents, my Mom called and told me to hold off, Dad was just taken to the hospital; he slipped mowing the lawn and hurt his ankle. She'll call me back. I leave about noon and start down anyway - all I know is that he went to X-ray and then back to X-ray.
So - the long and short is, he has a broken ankle that is now held together with screws and plates and a long convalescence. 4-6 weeks splinted, 12 more in a cast. No weight bearing of any sort while the cast is on. He's now home and the dining room sports a hospital bed until he's allowed to climb stars.
SO
How do I help keep him amused? He's 72 and diabetic, impatient on a good day, don't ask about a bad day.
Stitching is out, ditto knitting or crocheting.
HELP!
