Crack...

No, this post is not about drugs. It is an update on my dear hubby's health status. Yesterday morning, he was working on a catch basin (the hole in the street with the grate on top into which all the rainwater runs). Anyway, he was using an asphalt saw to cut around the catch basin when he stepped back and one leg went down into the open hole! Since he had the saw in his hands, he could not cushion or break his fall. His right side took the entire brunt of the fall. He was in a LOT of pain, to say the least.
Somehow, he managed to finish his work that day (he had to because he had an open hole and couldn't leave it that way....ummmm....dangerous....obviously.)
Luckily, today was rainy and he was able to stay home and rest. I took him to the doctor who confirmed that he has some seriously bruised and probably cracked ribs, but no serious damage. Thank goodness!! I was worried about internal damage, but the doc said everything else checked out OK.
His pain is still pretty severe, but time will heal that.
Time and patience.
We could be in a little trouble there;)
