- An Arm
“You’ll be hearing from our lawyer,” my mother-in-law quipped as she gingerly walked to the car. Dee-Dee could still maintain her sense of humor even though she had just fallen off a bike, fracturing her arm and dislocating an elbow, while riding with our big girl. She also apologized for taking a bag of frozen peas, which she used on her aching, swollen arm. I will gladly donate peas to such a cause, not that I welcomed the opportunity.
- A Leg
My father-in-law sure didn’t expect to drive from the hospital to his band’s concert, but that’s what happened the next day. Sets of Motown, Carolina beach and classic soul tunes definitely beat setting a bone, which had been quite an issue with his wife after the crash. The only thing crashing at the show was a glass of wine at the drummer’s daughters’ table.
- Bread
That table included our cousins from Raleigh. The more life throws at you – our family has suffered much worse than a broken bone in the last eight months – the more you appreciate quality time with loving family, especially those members you don’t see very often. What a weekend, made sweeter by young cousins. Be young, be foolish, be happy. We’ll be more careful, too.
