Brian's Hurricane Dorian update

[bevans6]

Completely clear on "other medical conditions", since we have absolutely no recollection of the fall we'll just never know what actually happened.  I've already talked with my friend the master builder, and he is going to replace our stairs for us.  I sprung the handrail when I fell, it just wobbles back and forth now.  Stairs are only 32" wide (1840's house) so there isn't all that much to do, but we are going to be inventive.

Brian  We also live in a 150 year old house.

Came home one day and my bedroom was down stairs.  My 2 girles said no more running up and down those stairs.

Get better soon and take it easy. Us old people do not heal good.

Well that sux.  Glad to hear you're mending.  The thing about our healthcare system is, if you show up on their doorstep in extremis they'll move heaven and earth to fix you and get you back out the door.  The problem is if you show up today and want a stress test they'll put you on a list but if you have the heart attack tonight they'll bust a gut to fix you up again.  I've had a couple of concussions - pretty weird to have a hole in time inside your head but there's nothing you can do about it.  Maybe your memory will come back but mine hasn't.

    Gosh, Brian, I was going to make some joke about not using up Dorian too much here in NC before we sent it to you, but this is no laughing matter.  As a former motorcycle racer, I can sympathize with the vertebrae (mine were thoracic - not sure that's better but a lot less scary) and the ribs.  Best wishes to be fully better soon -- and I can give you a little advice with the ribs, I found that I was just fine for the first 5 weeks so long as I didn't cough, laugh, or breathe.  Good luck, broken ribs just keep coming at yah!
   Hope you're feeling well soon.   BH
