After he regained consciousness, he walked the horse back to the barn, unsaddled it, and went in the house to take a hot bath.<br /><br />My stepmother (with the aid of some local friends) finally convinced him that he had to call an ambulance and go to the hospital, once it was clear he could not get out of the tub on his own power, or even lift his arms the slightest bit.<br /><br />On Monday morning, he was teaching his classes, though my step-mother had to come with him to turn the pages of the text book.<br /><br />Me, I've been fortunate enough to have jobs where I could usually afford to take a day off following such incidents without significant ill effects to my employer or co-workers. Thank goodness, 'cause I'm just not as stoic as my dad is.<br /><br />P.S. He's fine now, despite the fact that one doctor, looking at the MRI of his shoulder blades, muttered "cornflakes" under his breath.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-44680506804291060822006-11-29T18:45:00.000-05:002006-11-29T18:45:00.000-05:00david- Thank you, you're very kind.
