e -

I am so terribly sorry to hear about your dh's injury. I hope he feels

better soon. I know lots of people who had ACL surgery, and they were

walking around without crutches within 3 months. Maybe there is a desk

job for your dh?

I know it feels like a terrible setback, but things will get better.

They say trouble doesn't come alone, but I hope that's the last you've

seen of it. This too shall pass.

Hugs,

a

Hi e,

I'm so sorry to hear about dh's accident, I know it's got to be very hard on

you, especially with everything else going on. I will say lots of prayers

that his knee heals quickly and he is able to go back to work ASAP.
