Sunday - Hospital, X ray, kids at a friends house, dinner sent by the friend. A huge cast. (removable, thankfully) No fracture. Crutches!
Monday - MRI in the evening.
Tuesday - MRI reports. Ligament tear in two places and a meniscus tear. Physiotherapy suggested for now. Friend sends lunch. Cousin (college going girl!) comes home to help.
Wednesday - Hd drops the kids, drops me for physio, picks me up later and then goes to office. Cousin picks up Antu, makes lunch. Hd picks up Ashu and comes home. Cousin leaves after dinner.
Thursday - Hd holds fort. A friend picks up Ashu in the evening and drops her home. Friends visit. No horlicks bottle or mosambis!
Friday - Physiotherapy again. Hd holds fort. Cousin comes in the evening. I get a new Knee brace to wear during the day.
Saturday - Hd takes Ashu to a birthday party. Cousin and he make lunch. A friend sends dinner. Cousin leaves.
Sunday - Hd makes lunch/dinner. Takes Ashu skiing.
Monday - Hd drops the kids, makes lunch, picks up Antu at noon, works from home a bit and now off to pick up Ashu and then directly to the airport to pick up my SISTER!
Oh God! This was one of the toughest weeks in my life. Seeing Hd running around like a headless chicken and not able to help hurt more than my torn knee! God knows what I would have done if he had nt pulled through! And some dear friends and not to mention my little cousin! Sigh! I owe them big! Ashu too. She is an awesome helper. Fetching me stuff a million times and taking care of me. At one point, she hung a bag around my neck and put the phones, remotes, book, ipad, etc... and asked me to carry it everywhere! Guess she got tired picking up the phone! Antu is more keen on stealing my crutch though!
My mom will come as soon as she gets her visa. Sis decided to come and help until mom arrives. Family is a family for a reason, I guess. Me - I am just hoping that physiotherapy works and I would nt need surgery! And why oh why the right knee? Does nt the Universe know that we are screwed if I don't drive?

Uh oh. Take care babe.
Everyone will grow up and manage so you take rest. Everyone will also grow down the minute you get okay, don't worry!
*gasp* this was a shocker :-( hope u feel better soon.
Had a rough week myself with the baby & husband falling sick together and me *had* to be at work for an important presentation that was scheduled months in advance. Wanted to pull my hair out.
Put a namaskaram to skiing and rest at home. Hugs!
Fell better soon...
That's sad. Hope physiotherapy helps and you don't need to have an operation. Take care
YY told me before her travel.. hope you feel better soon. And prayers that the knee gets better with physio itself. Take care (and enjoy the pampering!)

Hi Boo,
Sorry to hear about the injury.Try not to weight bear through the leg and let it heal welL. Take care..

Oh no... :(

Oh dear! I hope you get back to normal routine very soon. It is too too hard when either the mom or dad are not in 100% shape to carry on regular activities. But thank god for big mercies - at least you have your family members to come and help you. And good friends. Even in the middle of all this, the beauty of your family is so striking. So ready and always there for each other. Knock on wood a thousand times.
Get better soon! Best wishes.

But hey, this is an awesome chance to be taken care of by everyone, and find out who your true friends are. Heh. Like you said, family is family for a reason! (:
All the best! *hugs*
P.S. Ashu's idea to carry around everything - super cute!

OMG! Get well soon Boo! Awesome that your sis is coming down... but just relax and enjoy this break. Will pray that things get better soon and there is no surgery :(
Oh no! Awful! It is indeed difficult to see the husbands struggle to take care of the house, kids, work & an injured. Good to know that family has arrived to help.
Take care & get well soon.
Ashu's idea is great. When you are resting, think about tweaking it a little & patent it :)
Take care Boo ...
When you have such wonderful family and friends, you have little to worry about ...
Get Well Soon!
Sema attitude..kalakareenga..unga family athukum mela..kadavul kitte varam vangittu vanthirukeenga ellam! Vazhthukkal and get well soon.

Hope you get well soon Boo. My prayers for your speedy recovery.
A break in its true sense.
Been there for sure, I had a ACL tear and a partial MCL on my ski injury which now was hmm, seven years ago! But totally feels like yesterday!
It gets better, trust me especially after the Physio!
Smile through it and thanks to all the help you do have!
Get well soon!!
ada kadavuley!
get well soon.
hope your mum and dad get there soon...
Gosh! Recover soon Boo :(
Ouch Boo... Get well soon. Sending good health vibes and prayers your way.
My mom had same issue. She was in a hurry to get back to normal life. Now even after 1 year, she still has a slight limp and not upto her usual speed. So first month no strain, physio must. Ease back slowly into your routine in 10 minute increments every other day. My prayers and wishes!!
Ouch! Get well soon. Hope you and the girls are having a fun time with your sis
Ohh dear! Hope its a little better and you are getting your rest now that ur sis is here. Do take care. Hugs. n get well soon.
Simply superb………..marvelous….
