Dad’s thumb isn’t broken (severe rheumatoid arthritis.) They found another (small) bleeder and otherwise his vitals are excellent. TRIED to get pictures… hard when another car is up against the damaged side. The guy who hit him struck him at the front bumped, dragged him across several lanes, turning him 180 degrees before continuing on before coming to a halt.
But Dad is resting for now and we HOPE to bring him home Thursday or Friday. Mom wavers from yeah, I’ll let them check me out to, no, it will take hours, I’m not leaving him and I’ll contact my doctor. We HAVE contacted her doctor – reminds me I need to contact dad’s rhuematologist.
The internet here is too slow to allow me to load pictures. But for some odd reason, it let me load at tumblr… What a crock.

Sounds a bit better – although the way you describe that accident is hair raising! It seems like your parents had a guardian angel by their side. Hope the recovery is as fast as they are saying. (And hope you get your mother to have herself checked… ) Hugs!
They are lucky, I am grateful. Pictures wouldn’t load here, but they loaded on Tumblr.
My sister and I are sitting in the waiting room (taking turns) giggling over your Pocket Shrines….
That little project of mine you’re working on… don’t know what your schedule is but I could use something to occupy my mind…
patience… 😀
NO worries… Just spent some with Dad. He’s demanding cheeseburgers.
Appetite. That is always a good sign!
They asked him if he wanted mashed potatoes and he said only if they put steak gravy and juice on them!
Glad all are better.Now you take care of yourself..
I need to turn my phone off so I can SLEEP… but I”m scared to do that…. I’m going to put out an APB to NO TEXTING ME TONIGHT!!!
Sounds harrowing — glad they are okay.
We cleaned out the car yesterday. Dad had some photography equipment in the trunk along with a slew of CDs. There was blood all over the console from his thumb and glass… I’m just thankful I still have them. I think I’ve been running on autopilot since I found out it happened on Monday.
