Our Day

Told around pictures of the Missouri River, Lake Sharp, where we have been camping and fishing and spending time with our friends.

The plan this morning was for Mikey and Jan to go to 8:30 church and we were going to make brunch when they returned.

A yummy brunch of pancakes, bacon and eggs.

At about 11am Mikey comes driving up saying that they will not make brunch as Jan is in the hospital. She fell after church and hurt her arm.

I went with Mikey to the hospital to find Jan in horrible pain. She had dislocated her right elbow (yup she is right handed!) so badly that the ER doc had never seen another like it. She also managed to break the femur that goes from the thumb to the elbow right at the elbow...again, the docs had not seen a break so bad.

Because it is imperative for Jan to see a specialist ASAP once she got out of the ER (and loaded full of morphine) her and Mikey packed up the motorhome and headed back to the Mankato area to see an orthopedic surgeon this week. Now they can tow either their car or their boat behind their motorhome so I was going to drive their car back for them. Rather than to cut our week short they were so kind as to leave us their boat and their vehicle so that we are able to continue to fish for a few days hopefully catching some fish! When we go back I will take both their boat and their vehicle back. Oh such is life. Poor Jan we are thinking of you and hope all goes well tomorrow.
