We had an exciting evening in the emergency room last night. It so happened that Sean, busy talking on the phone while filling up with gas, went to step over the gas hose and tripped, the concrete won! He managed to get home and eat dinner and then we took him to the emergency room where we commenced to spend the next hour and a half. He broke his radial head, better known as the elbow. He is in a cast and can't eat or write very well and needs my help to get dressed. Did you know that they don't do plaster casts anymore? Just fiberglass and a sling. This is his first ever broken bone so he was disappointed that he didn't get one that people could sign and he could auction off on EBAY once this is all over.
He had to re-tell his story like 10 times while we were there and was feeling kind of silly about how it happened. He told the receptionist to put on his admittance that he was helping some old lady who was getting mugged, or was fighting off Ninja's or something more heroic like that. They all laughed and thought that was funny. Should make for lots of fun over the next few weeks.

Was he at least graceful? :) I hope that he is okay. He is probably milking it for all it is worth right?! I guess that we could sign post it notes and put them on his cast (or maybe vinyl letters)! :)
He is pretty tough to come home and eat dinner before going to the ER. That is kinda heroic isnt it? He didn't want to waste all your hard work in making dinner.
Poor Sean. sounds like something I'd do. Funny that he ate dinner and everything before going to the ER. Did the people at the gas station get a good laugh? Glad he's doing ok.
I just told Dan what happened and the part about him wanting a different story put as the cause of the break. Dan laughed and said it sounds like him.
