Getting hit by a car while you're sitting in traffic is bad. Getting hit by a car while you're walking your dog is worse. Getting hit by a car while you're walking your dog the day after christmas is even way more worse than that. It's like the worst ever. The only thing worse would be getting hit by a car christmas eve or christmas day. Still, the day after christmas ranks pretty high on the suck-o-meter. Poor dad! This is exactly what happened to him. He's ok, but he suffered a broken knee and a couple of broken bones in his back. My sister called to give me the news .."Now, don't freak out. Dad's ok, but he's in the hospital. He was hit by a car." AHHHHHHHHH! Don't freak out?? This is NOT how you begin a phone conversation. This is how you guarantee the person TO freak out, in point of fact. So anyway, this was quite the alarming event. And it kind of ruins your plans for a lovely christmas holiday. Bummer.
*footnote*
The above photo is an accurate representation of what dad looked like. IV's and tubes everywhere. And he even sported the bandage on his forehead. I think he even had that same look on his face. But, it's not all bad news. He gets crutches, a walker, and a fancy wheelchair out of it....score!
