Yesterday morning we had the ambulance come get dad. Dad calls it the dead wagon; that is what he called it several years ago when he got bucked off. They hauled him to the hospital in Rawlins, they were going let him go home that night. It was a compressed fracture. The next day they had his pain in check, he was up and dress, and he drove all the way back to Riverton . He was not responsive to us, and had a fever. We spent all day in the ER and finally about 6pm they got him into a room. He was right on the edge of being welcomed by Saint Peter. I was not so sure he was going to come out of it, but this morning he was slightly responsive to the doctor. Turns out he had the flu. By this afternoon he was awake and responsive to us, and wanted to watch TV, so found him a western. He is not out of the woods yet, but things are improving. I think my sister and I are coming down with the same thing he has. I am thankful he is doing better.
