Sick and Mangled

Pope · 06-28-2007, 09:39 PM

You guys want a joke? I am one right now. I am sick as all get out. I mean ear ache, congested and a cough from hell. I could not get a doctor's appointment until tomorrow. Although, this is not the joke. I just finished putting Blake down after cooking dinner, playing a game and just being Papa. Well, I am exhausted and I walked into the guest bedroom to get on the computer when I saw the bed. I decided to plop down on the bed, but did a face plant on the foot board. I was seeing stars and thought I knocked my eyeball out of the socket. I never sleep on this bed and had a sheet over the foot board, so I did not realize it was elevated that high. Now, I am sick with a nice royal shiner. At least I can still see. Lets hope the swelling goes down over night.

Thanks for the steak and chicken soup bighead. I have fished through worse and will be ready spackle the deck with blood next weekend. I mean spackle too. We can't afford to spill an ounce of blood during the tournament. Head shots on the gaff jobs!

Brandon,

get well soon.

Get better soon Brandon!

On the bright side, at least it waited until after your trip to Hawaii!

Faceplant on the foot board is over the top! Like being sick as he** wasn't enough.

Thanks fellas. The swelling has gone down, but man is does it hurt to touch. I think my body is fighting off the weakness by itself, but I am going to the doctor to get stocked up on antibiotics for the next time.

I have power of attorney for two people in my family. I am very aware of the nightmares associated with poor health. That is one reason I stay in shape, eat well and exercise every day. I don't want my son to suffer due to my needs as an old man.

Sounds like you are taking care of a parent. A visit is worth a million dollars any day. You can't put a price on knowing you are loved and cared for by those who love you.

As tough as it is, you're doing the right thing.
