Destroyed Calla Lily

Something very heavy crushed one of my Calla Lilys. I'm really not sure what to do about it but I'm hoping the stems will magically straighten. I don't think it was Joey as he's blind and never crosses over the garden borders. This looks like something heavy fell on it and I think maybe a raccoon fell off the roof as that's happened before, although, I didn't hear any fights with the local cats.
So, tomorrow I'll spend some time out in the gardens and stake up the Calla Lily, clean up the limons that have blown off the tree and sweep up the patio. We've had very warm windy weather and I even had the air conditioner on for awhile a few days ago. They say this weather will continue a few more days.
I had to have x-rays of my back as I was experiencing pain and thought it was from the hardware in my back. It turns out that the arthritis in my hip is acting up. I can handle that and will begin aquatic therapy next month. I'm still taking it slow working in the yard but can do a lot more now and am really itching to put some new plants in. This false "summer" makes me want to get out and do some work.

It's been very nice out the past few days so it's a perfect time to clean up the yard. There are several areas needing weeding and I can do that as long as I keep my back brace on. I also want to transplant a few plants and move some Creeping Charlie over to a bad spot that won't grow much else. I need to get hubby out there to prune the lemon tree, Bougainvillea and a palm that's taking over one corner of the yard. I'm happy to see that the Calla Lily is taking over 2 of my flower beds that border the path into my back yard. I can't wait to go out and buy some new plants.
