We interrupt this blogcast to bring you this important bulletin
When you check your voice mail, you never want to hear all of the following words in a single sentence: your husband, paramedics, ambulance and emergency room. Even if the sentence also includes the words injured playing basketball, it still sounds really, really bad. Because you think, well, it's a sports injury, how bad can it be? And then you hear it again: paramedics, ambulance, emergency room...

So I wound up spending the better part of the afternoon at the hospital, where Joe had been taken after he went into shock after his injury. After the X-rays, it turns out he has a fracture, and will have to wear a cast and walk on crutches for a few weeks.

After the initial relief that he was going to be OK, I realized that for a while, I am going to have to be responsible for all the cooking, cleaning, dog-walking, driving, errand-running, etc. around here. I say that not in an attempt to garner sympathy, but to provide an explanation as to why I might not be as prompt an e-mail correspondent, webmaster, blogger and record company mail order fulfillment person as I usually am. So have a little patience, and send your healing thoughts our way.

    Egads! Sorry to hear about your accident Joe. Hope you are recovering ok. Be sure to post all the embarassing humiliating details. And Sue has just been enjoying all your great errand-running abilities too.

    Ouch! We oldsters in our 40s are a bit more injury-prone, it seems...

    Aw, feel better Joe!! And Sue, hang in there, too--being the caretaker isn't easy, either. Make Hobie do the dishes.

    You have my sympathy. I know what a pain in the rear a sports-injured husband can be. I know because I've been one.
