More pain!

Friday night Maddy came to the hospital at about 7:30pm.

I was at work walking along the sidewalk carrying a ladder and a 4x8 sheet of foam core board when I fell in a hole left open hole. This hole was left when the City of Los Angeles removed a tree from the sidewalk. If the hole was just a hole like if you remove a tree from your backyard it would have been fine. The hole I fell in was in the side walk. There was no dirt involved this hole it was a big square in which a potted tree is put then a grate with a hole in the middle for the tree trunk. This hole is just the right size for one to put in ones foot. As my foot went into the hole followed by my shin which scraped against the metal grate leaving a large abrasion and a large open wound. The crew with whom I'm working rushes me off to the hospital where I find the emergency room almost (amazing on a Friday night empty) fill out paperwork.

My driver goes out to call my wife.
Bambaata is ok, he's totally ok. There was an accident at work. We took him in to make sure his leg is not broken.

Fortunately it is not broken, unfortunately the doc. could not stitch it up as it was not a gash but an abrasion. She gave me a large bandage and 600mg of ibuprofen, whee.

I go back to the doc. today for a look see.
