SECOND UPDATE. When everyone says stay safe, here's what that means. Don't speed or make dangerous driving decisions. Stay off ladders. And walk carefully. My dear church friend "just tripped" and broke her leg. They set her leg and sent her home with fever. Now the "whole family" has Covid and she is back in the hospital. That leaves her husband with dementia and with Covid at home with caretakers - not sure who was willing to stay with him. Please pray for this dear, sweet couple and their adult children.<br /><br />

UPDATE: She is some better and is hoping to go home from hospital. Her husband has entered the hospital and may have "waited too long." In chatting with her over the phone I found her in good spirits, which is quite normal for her as she has a sweet Christian spirit in all situations. Thank you all for your prayers.
6/18/2020 will be their sixty-somethingth anniversary. As they are still in hospital and each some improved, the staff is arranging for them to have an anniversary meal in a room together, with their kids on Facebook or Zoom or something.
We had a 'traveling' lady died last week with Covid. She actually lives about an hour away. She is the pianist at her church and when their church opened back up, she went. There have been 10 in her congregation diagnosed positive and another 10 in her community.
We are still not socializing or shopping except for groceries and that's not been often. Our son comes and our youngest daughter and her family. My oldest daughter stays away and I really miss her. She really needs support because it's her husband that is still stuck overseas going on the 4th month.
Although things are opening back and people want to live normally again, we still need to be cautious. We went this morning to Sams for elderly, early shopping. All had mask on. Then we stopped at another supermarket (place DH can get his ice cream mix) and hardly anyone had a mask. Cashier did though. You can't be too careful. What's the old saying, better safe than sorry.
I hope the couple get the help and support they need. It really is a bad situation because she will need care when she does come home. I told my husband when I broke my leg, if I was widowed or alone, I would have had to go into a nursing home until I could get around again. I was thankful I had him....He just doesn't want me doing it again! I told him, "Neither do I!"
Unless she was hospitalized for a period of time, it is most likely she was already carrying the virus prior to her fall. Symptoms don't generally appear until about week after exposu
