In the contest between the stairs and our friend Shari, the stairs won. She’s got a fractured spine (sounds scary! but she’s able to move around a bit) and a cracked rib. Her doctors have told her not to move around very much while she heals which is likely to take several weeks at a minimum. Her housemate, Mary Ellen, has been able to provide quite a bit of support, switching bedrooms so Shari is on the first floor, etc. But as I’m sure many of you can imagine, or have experienced, this kind of injury really takes its toll on a household. We are hoping to gather friends in the community to provide meals for Shari and Mary Ellen for a couple weeks. Bringing in meetings is also something that would be lovely.
