Reliving the Accident

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

Derek’s foot is healing wonderfully since his accident, and his leg is all but completely healed up. He walks with a little bit of a limp still, but not much of one at all. You would have no idea anything happened to him if he was wearing socks or shoes! That is such a blessing, [...]

Last Doctor Visit! Is It All Over??

Posted on July 4, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

This afternoon we had another doctor visit. Actually we had two, but it was in the same office at the same time, just with two doctors. She tried to charge me two copays, but that didn’t fly…I only paid one. Good Lord…anyway… The first doc is the one that we have seen the most often. [...]

Derek Got A Black Eye

Posted on June 29, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

As if a broken leg and massive wound trauma wasn’t enough…my crazy, accident-prone son was running (with his boot) and ran his eye right into the corner of the computer desk. I am at the front door, responding to a neighbor who came by to offer us a robin’s nest they found in their yard. [...]

Not the Best Doctor Visit Today

Posted on June 1, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

We seem to live in the orthopedic’s office these days. We went in again today for what was supposed to be a routine cast change and wound cleaning. While we were in the waiting room, the doc saw us there and asked how we were doing. We weren’t supposed to see him today, just his [...]

We Got the Skin Graft…Right??

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

Hi all! So sorry to take so long to post again. It has been a crazy week. Much crazier than usual, I must add. That being said, Derek DID have his 6th surgery on Monday. He went to get the skin graft, so I was very excited. You see, this skin graft is his last [...]

Trauma Part 2: Surgery

Posted on May 6, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

Because I saw the wound on Derek’s foot, I was sure he was going to lose it. I was terrified, so I wanted to get to a hospital as fast as I could to save whatever was possible. I chose to take him to Shawnee Mission Medical Center right down the road. Once he got looked at [...]
