Worriers spend a lot of time shoveling smoke.

PLACE: St. Luke’s Hospital
SUBJECT: Steam pipe
Yesterday, MonkeyBoy’s football team ended up winning their game by forfeit as the opposing team did not show up to play. So, MB’s team decided to scrimmage against each other. HandsomeHusband said that he had never seen them hit their opponents as hard as they hit each other during that scrimmage. MB tackled a teammate and hurt his upper left arm. He couldn’t raise it past his shoulder and had some pain. So this morning, I called the pediatrician and made the trek to her office. A visit to the radiologist and two x-rays later, we got good news - there were no breaks or fractures! He will just be sore for awhile and it should resolve itself with no further issues.
This steam pipe is visible from the parking garage that is attached to the hospital and the doctor’s offices. After I took this, we went to Costco for a cheap lunch (you can’t beat $1.50 for a jumbo hot dog and a soda!) and the purchasing of pancake mix, a gallon of syrup, trash bags, almonds for my father, and winter coats for the rugrats. Such excitement.
