2007... Bad start

V met with an accident on December 28 on his way home for lunch. His scooter collided with a bike that came in the wrong direction. In his effort to prevent a head injury (he was not wearing a helmet), his hip took the impact of the fall. The neck of his femur bone (near hip and thigh) was fractured and got dislocated. Luckily for him, two of his colleagues and an acquaintance saw him and rushed him to hosp. Though the doctor first said he might be operated on by 9 pm since the op had to be done in 24 hrs, it was done the next day at 8 am (after various tests, while we pondered about the need to shift to him to a more reputed hosp _ in the end we decided it was best not to shift him and hope for the best) and lasted 3 hrs.
Was discharged from hosp on Sunday noon. The main doctor said they have managed to do an 85% job ... rest in god's hands, he said, as blood vessels need to get revived. He will be on bed rest for 2 months and out of work. In 6 weeks, the bone should set ... right now the physiotherapist comes everyday to help him walk with a walker, the ortho comes every 3 days to do the wound dressing. Right now, I help him with all his personal needs - he has become the third kid I have to look after.
V's friend stayed at the hosp during night and me during day (since the kids couldnt be left alone at home during night). His father and my mom are here right now to help us cope,
Otherwise, things are going haywire at home with 2 kids to manage and an inefficent new servant. With Mira having another round of fever and Ash at his naughtiest worst, I have never had it this tough.
