Dad fell in the shower this evening and was ok but then his side started swelling up so he took ambulance to hospital and mom and I followed in car. I'm up here in Wilmington because my mom is getting an award tomorrow or I guess later this morning. Anyway, he's in a room in the ED with a doctor and nurses and we are waiting. Good thoughts DEward are appreciated.

There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

They've taken him for a ct scan but he's alert and hassled my mom about going home to get some sleep. As if.

Looks like a hematoma and there's some internal bleeding so they're transferring him down to the trauma hospital where all the good machines are.

Hope you are all getting some rest and the transfer was helpful, lisah.

Ugh. I need a mental health day, but it's the one day a year that if I took a mental health day, I would get so busted.
