Ruff Day

Happy Monday!  I have a fun card for my brother-in-law who may need some cheering up. 

 

Last week Sunday, he was trimming some branches from his tree in the backyard.  When one of the branches he cut fell, it hit the ladder and knocked him off.  He fell 15 feet on this right side.  He was knocked unconscious for about two minutes.  A neighbor saw him fall and called 911.  My niece, a nursing student, came to his side and helped him so he could breathe better.  He ended up with 6 broken ribs and a bleed behind his right ear.  He was in intensive care for 3 days and was released on July 4th.  He is in a lot of pain and is taking pain meds which don't help much.  He went to his general practitioner who told him he shouldn't have been released from the hospital and that he should go back.  He didn't.

 

This past Sunday, he and my sister-in-law went to the marina to see the tall ships that were on display.  His right leg was becoming numb, so she took him to the ER.  He's back in the hospital.  Not sure what is going on, but he definitely needs some medical attention and some cheering up.  So, I made this card.

 

They have two dogs (none of which look like these dogs!) and I thought he would appreciate this theme.  This is a Center Picture Window card.  The front is pretty simple.

But when it's opened, there is a center window that pops up.  I added the dog, fire hydrant, water bowl, and bone in the window as well as some clouds in the background.   The pattern paper is an old dog themed one from Basic Grey.  I hope this brings some joy to him.

Thanks for stopping by!
