Mmm, head trauma.


Scott decided today to take a flying leap off of his ladder. As you can see, it didn't work out so well for him. The paramedics were lovely, Arne Taylor (our neighbor) is my new hero, and Scott has no problems other than some serious soreness and of course this big giant gash on the top of his head. Oh yeah, and no skin on his arm..... I was totally disappointed that they didn't have to shave his head (I was so flustered by the time I got to the ER to meet Jim and Carole that the only question that I asked the nurse was "Did you shave his head?" Not "Is he okay?", not "Is he off the backboard yet?".... I'm not sure if he thought I was totally callous or just without any sense of propriety. Oh well). They also had to cut his shirt off, so they sent him home with some hot hot hot purple Pathways scrubs. (For those of you not in the know, Pathways is the local detox/rehab center. I wanted to parade him around town, but apparently he wanted to go home and take a shower. Harumph.) But he is well, showering as we speak, and everything will be okay. Thanks to everybody who offered their help, we love you all!
