| 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.

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.

Ow ow ow owie ow -- so sorry to hear about Joe's accident. Sounds like it was one hell of a day for both of you.

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.
