It's May already!?!

Where does the time go? So far this month, I've been working on my Stampin' Up Business. The retiring stamp and accessories lists are out and so I've decided to host a retirement party. To that end I've been creating cards with retiring stamps and accessories. The black science fair board is almost finished. I'll put the last dozen or so cards on it tonight and it will be ready for stamp club tomorrow night. The other thing that has taken up most of this month is my father-in-law. He is 92 yrs old and is on blood thinner. On Monday evening of last week, he tried to stop elevator doors from closing w/ his hand. He didn't have enough strength in his had to stop the doors, so they closed on his hand. The skin did not break, but a blood vessel in his hand did. He waited about 36 hours before he called my hubby to take him to the ER. Lots of tests later, they decided to admit him so he can have surgery to remove the semi-coagulated blood that is now in his fingers, hand and lower arm. Hubby said he looked like he'd had a zombie arm attached midway between shoulder and elbow. That's about the best description I've heard. So F-I-L has had two surgeries...on Thursday and again on Saturday. WIth all the swelling in his hand, the skin on the back of his hand (about the size of a 50 cent piece) has died. He will need a skin graft to fix that. So today hubby spent the day w/ his parents at the hospital, calling and visiting rehab hospitals and choosing one. He's tired from being at the hospital and I so understand that. That's the May-so-far update.
