Yesterday morning Lori and I made it to the hospital by 8 to meet Greg who works for me, and his wife Kristin, who was injured skiing the day before. By 3 in the afternoon she had her appointment and the needed MRI to see just what was going on. Sadly things were much worse than anyone thought. Not only is her ACL torn but also her MCL and her knee cap and I think tibia are fractured! Things are so bad that the doctor said he can’t even do surgery for a few days until things calm down. Then after surgery she’s going to have to wait at least 4 or 5 days before she can get on a plane! Wow, who knew? Apparently the ER doc in Breck didn’t as he told her, “you can get on a plane and fly home to Florida and see your own doctor”. With the blood clots in her knee, this could have been catastrophic. She’s really lucky that Lori managed to get her in and that they decided to come over to Vail. Today and tomorrow and Monday she’ll have PT (physical therapy) and then her surgery is scheduled for Tuesday morning at 9 am. Greg was very thankful and Lori spent most of the day taking care of Kristin even though it wasn’t her patient. Poor Kristin was wiped out and really upset over the whole thing. She just started a new job, Greg has a big meeting with one of our big distributors this coming Wednesday in Florida and lots of other stuff going on. Now they will both be extending their stay in Colorado for at least another week as they were scheduled to be flying home today. I told Greg not to worry as we’ll handle things work wise but what a cluster. In the end though, you have to take care of your health first. As Lori said though, she’s going to be on crutches for months as this is a really big deal and she’ll be in for a long recovery. The sad thing is that this whole thing happened just getting off the ski lift!
Now to the day, today we have football! My brother and I really love watching it and this weekend is a great weekend with four games. Even though we don’t have a dog in the fight, (no Denver or Green Bay) it’ll be fun to watch. I think it starts around 2:30 this afternoon.
Jag has practice at 9 this morning. He skipped yesterday as he was not feeling well and they didn’t get home until about midnight the night before. He’s been working hard so I told him I didn’t care, just let the coach know. Lots of people are sick up here including guys on his team and I think 4 guys or so were also out. Ty was in town with Sonny all day going to a few hockey games that Sonny’s brother was in. Then they ended up here around 8 pm and Sonny spent the night.
Lori and I are headed to the gym around 9. We wanted to go yesterday but didn’t get it together with everything going on. We’re planning on continuing the big purge before football. I took a couple of chairs to the consignment store yesterday to make some room in the garage.
I also need to get Mojo some weed today, or cbd oil. This is a derivative of cannabis that doesn’t have the psychotic effect and will help his hips. He’s just getting old and most big dogs have issues with their back legs when they do. This is supposed to work wonders so we’ll see.
That’s it, happy January 6th, have a great day and GB.
