Gravity Works!

(John's best buddy, Will, is hanging close by him on the bed)

OK, I shouldn't have called the previous blog "bumps"!
John fell yesterday and broke three ribs. He was trying to climb up something....put a 5 gallon paint can out to stand on....reached up for a support post and the can slid out from under him. He spun around and slammed into the 4x4 post and then to the ground.
The drive to the hospital was precarious because of the gusts of wind and rain from the remnants of IDA.
After almost 7 hours in the ER at SRMC, the doc wanted to keep him all nite to watch him, monitor his pain meds and also to make sure he was coughing and deep breathing so he won't get pneumonia.
We vowed to do the same at home. He's been a good patient. He's eating, sleeping & resting. The pain is really excruciating when he trys to cough tho....and he needs to cough.
I'll keep everyone updated......we are going to hunker down this weekend.....
