Our week ended with a little drama. I got a call on Friday around 2pm from my husband’s doctor. He informed me my husband, who played soccer in a recreational league at work over lunch, was in so much pain he could not be examined….I must come at once to pick him up and take him to the emergency room. After x-rays, he has broken his right humorous bone right at the top under the shoulder socket.
So the question I have to ask (yes probably rhetorical)…why do 40 year old males continue playing contact sports even though they know it takes at least twice as long to heal when they get hurt?? I ask this only since, it has been less than a month since my husband had recovered from a shoulder injury.
So Sean (my son) and I, are more or less left to our own devices this week, with the hubby incapacitated. I plan to keep our meal plan simple this week, here’s the plan.
| DAY | BREAKFAST | DINNER | EXERCISE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saturday | Split pea and ham soup | ||
| Sunday | Canadian bacon + poached egg | Vegetable pasta bake (GF) | 20 mins HIT |
| Monday | Bircher Muesli | Fish + chips (homemade) | |
| Tuesday | Granola + Fruit + Soy Yoghurt | Stir fry + Brown rice | |
| Wednesday | Bircher Muesli | Zpizza (Pizza with whole wheat crust and organic ingredients) | 20 mins. HIT |
| Thursday | Granola + Fruit + Soy Yoghurt | Meatball pasta bake (GF) | |

I can’t hit “like” when there is drama and incapacitated husbands involved! I hope that he recovers quickly for everyone’s sake!
Thank you – I hope so too….first weekend almost over, and boy, I am realizing already that I may have to get some help just to maintain sanity :-), and cancel the business trip to San Francisco next weekend and following week. Isn’t amazing how much two extra hands make so much difference.
Oh NO!!! I’m so sorry to hear. I know that’s really going to put a damper on your family’s day to day. He’s a trooper though – he’ll get through much faster than a normal 40 year old!
I hope so, we will know more on Tuesday 🙂
Yikes, sounds painful!
Yep, but these days the drugs seem to work well 🙂
