It comes in three's...........

Waiting for the third bad thing. I am hoping that S's Linda Blair inpression the last couple of days is actually the THING.

Very good friend who recently moved to Texas was in a motorcycle accident yesterday morning. He is still in Surgical ICU waiting to hear if he will require back surgery. He broke his back at C7, so should not be paralyzed, fortunately. He underwent 7 hours of surgery yesterday to repair one leg and one arm. The other arm just has *simple* fractures. Oh, let;s not forget the 67 stitches in his face.

Robin, my bud from the lake, has 2 wonderful daughters. They have a charming 14 year old friend, B. B has been working very hard to eat right and exercise and has lost 50 pounds so far. Yesterday morning she could not be woken. The ambulance took her to the local hospital who life-flighted her to St. V's. No one had any idea she was diabetic, she has never had a problem before. Her blood sugar level was over 800. She has finally, in the last hour, become responsive, but will remain in the hospital for at least a week to get her on insulin and check for organ failure.

Oh no! I do not know the Texas friend - and actually have a friend in a very similar situation, but in Louisanna - but tell Robin that she and her daughter will be in my thoughts and if there is anything we can do (errands or what not) we will be glad to. She has met me a time or two.
