That’s so scary, MOWC. Hope the scan is normal. Poor kid.
C3B – hope your race went well! When you said Polar Bear, I was thinking it involved a plunge in some cold water. But 5 miles after 5K sounds tough enough.
CountingDown – so much fluid! I hope you have meds to ease the pain.
Note to self: when Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is on sale, that doesn’t mean you have to buy it. Because if you buy it, you will eat it. And it has the same # calories as when it’s expensive. 6 miles this morning so I’m probably calorie neutral at this point…
MOWC my heart goes out to you and your H and of course your son. I’m sure you are beside yourselves. Look for the blessings - in this case, no cars, a friend was with him. Hugs.
Thanks, everyone. I have low confidence in regional medical centers, but that’s the only option. Hopefully he is mainly OK. They were 19 miles from his house. He hit a manhole cover going down a steep hill.
MOWC, that is terrible! Please keep us informed on his condition. Is he in Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown? If so, this may set your mind at ease a bit. Ranked pretty high for advanced diagnostic technologies for neurological issues. Ranked well for trauma response.
Oh, wow, MOWC I am so sorry about your son’s bike wreck. Sending good thoughts and prayers. Keep us posted please!
This morning’s races went well. I’m happy with my times and I ended up 1st in my age group overall for the combined 5K and 5 mile run. It was a beautiful morning for running. A beautiful day, in fact, and so nice to be outdoors.
Classof2015 - LOL on the Ben and Jerry’s! The sale is on price, not calories!
My FIL was hospitalized late this morning. Initially they thought pneumonia, but now they say it is just the flu. Still serious for the elderly and he isn’t in very good health to begin with. H drove over this afternoon to be there the rest of the weekend.
I spent the day offline (wine tasting with DH) so just logged in to see @MomofWildChild 's wild child’s story. I hope “minor concussion” is the worst of it, and so sorry to hear his bike got trashed.
MOWC–Good to hear your son’s injuries weren’t too serious. It’s scary to hear about it from afar.
Today I spent 3 hours at a yoga/meditation workshop. We did an 90 minutes of yoga and the rest of the time we did guided meditation. The goal was to be silent throughout the meditation period. I had a hard time trying to keep my mind from wandering and at some point I thought the silence was stupid, but when it was over I felt remarkably calm and was glad I did the workshop.
