Yesterday was the unofficial last day of summer. You should have seen the traffic going to Denver. Lori and I went to Frisco around 9 am and when we left it was already backed up to there on I-70. For those of you not local, that’s a good 70 miles from Denver with traffic already moving around 5 or 10 miles an hour. Going west up Vail Pass that too was jam packed and we were thinking those poor people have no idea what they’re in for.
While Marty and I were hunting there was a bad hail storm in Vail and his wife was rear ended on I-70 on Saturday. He told her to go to the doctor but she didn’t. When we were at dinner Sunday night Lori made sure she understood to go to Urgent Care yesterday just to make sure she was ok. Around 4 yesterday afternoon we found out she has a blood clot in her neck! They were going to send her to Vail Health (our hospital) but they wouldn’t take her as they don’t have the people or equipment to handle her. I think she’s home right now but will probably end up in Denver today at a big hospital with a trauma center. They might have taken her down last night, we’re not sure. Lori says this is a big deal and people can have a stroke from this so lucky she went in. Lori also said lucky we went to dinner as a few glasses of wine also thins the blood which would have helped her. We’ll know more today but what a shock. Marty was lamenting the coming medical bills and I told him the other insurance company will pay for everything and if by chance his wife is on blood thinners the rest of her life, she’s looking at huge compensation. Of course everyone would prefer it didn’t happen. Just a reminder how quickly things can change.
Both boys have school and I’m off to Denver. Lori has clinic and Harley has daycare, so we’re all busy. I’ll be in Denver around 9 and hopefully back by 11 or so. It’s getting cool up here and I love it. Fall is my favorite season. I think I’m going deer hunting early November so I have that to look forward to but next up is the Bronco home opener this coming Sunday. Football is back, whoo hoo. Have a great day, God Bless.
