Bill has some new best friends thanks to an injury yesterday at work. At some point while at a fire Bill tore his Achilles tendon. Yes OUCH! After enduring pain that only seemed to get worse and by dinnertime was becoming unbearable, he headed to the ER at Region’s Hospital. The diagnosis was not what he was expecting. After much manipulation … read “unintended torture at the hands of the very good ER docs at the hospital” the determined his injury was with his Achilles tendon. But the bright(?) spot is they don’t think it is completely torn – just partial or maybe only fissures. An MRI later this week will tell us more. In the meantime Bill is wearing a Cam Boot and hobbling around on crutches. Of course both the cat and dog have determined the crutches are either A. a tool of torture meant to terrorize their existence or B. something teasing them and begging to be played with. Animals are so funny.
Oh yeah and Bill now has a chauffeur (read CAROL) because of course he injured his right foot and of course because it is not humanly possible to drive with the Cam Boot. He is off work now until at the earliest Sunday and he is fearing if the injury is worse than we are hoping, he will end up going onto “light duty” which means 8-5, Monday-Friday at a desk, pushing a pencil. Now most of you who know Bill well or at all know that a desk job and Bill just don’t mesh. Needless to say he is determined to follow doctor’s orders.
