What a week...

Wow, what a week. One week ago today, my wife was leaving for work. As she was about to back out of the driveway, our cat jumped up on her hood. She opened the door and stepped out to shoo him away, but forgot that she had already put the van in reverse. The van started rolling backwards and knocked her down and then rolled over her leg. It kept going, but luckily our house was there to stop it. I came home to take her to the ER, and all of the doctors were amazed that she miraculously did not break any bones. We had a follow up visit to an orthopaedic doctor on Monday, and they were even more amazed that she had no tendon or ligament damage. They said to stay off her feet for a couple of weeks, and she should heal up just fine. Now, the van and the house -- that's a different story... So, if you came by here last Thursday and wondered why we were closed in the morning and early afternoon, that is why. The moral of this story is -- make sure your car is in park before you get out!
