It's Quiet!

Too Quiet..... is what I was thinking this morning. I had not heard from Bob since the weekend. I know he is around because the script I wrote sends me an email every time he turns on his computer.

About 2pm I get a call from his apartment complex. Bob had fallen in the parking lot. The fire department wanted to know if they should transport him or would I? and what hospital to take him to?

I told them and turned my state vehicle around and headed back to the office. I had the kid meet me in the parking garage on level 2. I dropped off my vehicle gave him the keys and my laptop and headed off to ADVENTURE AND EXCITEMENT!

I got there and went in to his room to see this:

He had landed on his knees, his right hand was bruised, and he face planted on his nose and skidded on his forehead.

I stayed to give them the information they needed but had to leave for a doctors appointment of my own. When I came back almost 2 hours later he still had not had his stitches but he'd had a cat scan, and xrays.

They did not find any broken bones or signs of a concussion. The gave him a tetanus shot, stitched him up, and sent him home.

He is going to be sore in the morning. his left knee is swollen and there is a bruise on his right palm.

He talked about an old newspaper article he has that features him, his wife (at the time), me and one of my sisters. He said that he could not figure out who the children were in the pictures. I told him it was me and one of my sisters. He said he thought I was an only child.

When I told him I had 2 brothers and 3 sisters he was very confused even after I said the names.

While I was there I threw out 2 packages of pork chops that were a month old, some gravy I gave him about 3 weeks ago, and some ham my wife gave him new years day. he had not eaten any of it.

On the plus side his arm had healed where the skin cancer was removed.
