Mood: accident prone
Topic: Joe
Joe had a close call this week. His friend Cody was driving, Dustin, Cody's brother was in the passenger seat, and Joe was in back. Cody was going a little faster than he should have on a back country road. Went over a culvert and went airborn. Joe remembered the car bottoming out. From the skid marks he went left onto the shoulder, over corrected and left the road. Rolled thru a corn field and the car ended up on its side. The car was a good 100 feet off of the road.
They all had seat belts on, thank goodness. Joe said when it started to roll that he put his hands over this head and curled up. He was the least injured. Cuts on his hands, shin, and a couple on his head. We didn't take him to hospital. Cody and Dustin were both taken to the hospital. They kept them overnight and released them. They both had mild concussions and got some stitches. I think that they all learned a lesson. I joked with Joe that the next time he drives, he will probably go like 35 mph.
My shoulder surgery seems anticlimatic after that. So far so good. Repaired the rotator cuff and removed a couple of bone spurs. The nurse told me that they did a nerve block that will last for about 36 hours, after that I will be loading up on percocet(sp) for the pain.
