A crushed foot

Not the phone call you want to get at any time.

Hubby calls, his voice taut with pain. "Honey, my foot's just been crushed. I'm off to the hospital. Everything will be fine."

And then not a word for several hours.

While hubby was purchasing items for his business, the driver of a machine that lifts heavy equipment lost control of his machinery. Hubby jumped out of the way but not fast enough. His foot got pinned between the machine and the wall. Now he's in a cast, trying to juggle his business and the stress has gone through the roof.

One step at a time... with crutches, for now.
