Real Life Can Kick You In The Rump

Well, RL has been crazy. Saturday, April 8th my, I don't function before ten am, sister called me a little after seven am. I knew it couldn't be good; it wasnt'. My 87 year old father fell on the previous Tuesday. They took him to the hospital and they checked him out and released him. Saturday morning (one am) he called two other sisters complaining of severe pain in his neck. They called 911 and this time they found out he'd broken his neck. He was air lifted to UoM Hospital at Ann Arbor. We, one sister and husband, were in a car by one pm to start our 2000 mi. trek from Florida to Michigan (no flights available for three days because of Spring Break). We arrived Sunday night at ten pm. Dad was in a 'halo' to restict his movement and provide support and will have to keep it on for at least three months. Wed. he was transported to a rehab center for a min. of three weeks. Our mom is in no condition to care for him so we have no idea what will happen when he's released. Two of my sisters and a brother live in the area and are searching out solutions. Time will tell.
