Joe's friend, Cody, was in an accident where the car he was riding in was rear ended by another car driven by an old man. They were stopped to turn and the driver did see them until the last second and then it was too late. They took Cody by care flight to the hospital.
His hip was dislocated and so they had to do surgery to put it back in place. We visited this past weekend. Poor Cody was heavily medicated, so it was difficult to carry on a conversation. But both he and his parents were happy that we dropped by.
On the way home we stopped at Pizza Hut. We ordered and then waited and waited. We never even got bread sticks. They we found out that our order was completed but was taken out and they had to redo it. We were fuming. But they made it up by giving us the meal for free. Plus they messed up the order on one of the pizza's and so they gave us a third pizza for free. Still it wasn't worth the hassle.
Joe lost his starting slot at defensive end. When he was hurt, they moved someone else in there and so Joe is now special teams and giving the starters a break on JV. He talked to the coaches after the game. He was bummed. The one coach did mention that he had good hands. So I told Joe to see if they will work him at reciever next week. Sometimes one door closes, but then another door will open. We will see if can wiggle his way into more playing time next Saturday.
Chad had his 27th birthday yesterday. We had a turkey with the trimmings. I joked that Becky was warming up for Thanksgiving. Cash fell asleep on me again, I guess spare tire around the middle is good for something. The young man certainly seems to be strong for his age. And good lungs, definitely lets you know when he is hungry.
