He had to retire due to being elected off a tugger at work and breaking his hip last January. That was another nightmare. He was raken to a lical hospital where he was kept outside the ER on a gurney for 31 hours without food or water or pain meds I was finally able to get him transported to Emory which was a 3 hout drive without any pain meds. He had hip surgery developed a DVT which went to his lung and was in ICU for 2 weeks. He can get around but not very well at all.

Oh my goodness! I can’t even imagine the pain he must have been in! I’m so sorry you both had to endure this nightmare. His life changed abruptly with a forced retirement the hardest way! It must be very difficult for him to adapt to that abrupt end to his career, then having to recover from his hip surgery and now his wound is another setback.

Does he have any physical therapy exercises to help him get more mobile?

Retirement should be an enjoyable time of life. So you’re both in my thoughts and hopes for a better year ahead.
