Tim nearly lost a toe

Leaping into the air after breaking a glass bowl in the kitchen is not a good thing. When you come back down, you tend to land in the same area as all the broken glass! Tim found this out the hard way last night. We spent the night in the local ER (this is becoming a regular thing lately).

I have to say, both Imelda and Tim did a great job with the whole ordeal. I got the phone call at 10:45 that had two critical pieces of information; Severity of injury and where they are going… “We are on the way to ER, Tim cut his feet bad!” Tim kept his calm though the whole process even though he had a lot of questions regarding stitches.

After getting the call, I actually got the the hospital first, even though I was a few blocks further away (Datsun 280z baby!), where I picked up Tim in my arms, pulled him out of the truck and carried him into the ER by hand (all the working out just paid off). 3 hours later, Tim had his first 14 stitches; 4 on his right heel, and 9 to re-attach his near-severed big toe on his left foot.
