Wow. What a day. My parents' really good friend just called a while ago. Well, someone that knows him anyway. I guess he was skiing earlier today and fell, and got paralized from the neck down. Just like that.
Just kinda hit close to home I guess. This is the guy who made my parents want to move to this town. This is the dentist that my mom had an appointment with on Monday. I'm saying, I played with this guys kids last time I went to their house type thing. Now he can't move. He cant take a shit without a guy holding a bedpan for him. He will probably not walk or even move for that matter ever again in his life. Wow. He has a family. A wife, kids, a job, a life. Wow. I can't find words to describe what I think he must be going through, and will go through in the next days, months, years.
So he had a nurse call my dad to ask him if he would do the anesthesia for the surgury he is having tomorrow. Updates as they come I guess.
