Every few years I bond with the grim reaper.I also have almost as many broken bones as Evil Knevil.
Sunday (Easter) went to Sunrise service and we we're looking forward to the usual big Easter egg hunt for 6 kids this year .My job while Nancy gets a big dinner ready is to hide the Easter eggs .They all like me to do it because I can never remember where I hid them .We're down to the last 4 eggs and I don't have a clue .I had told everyone (I think) none in the pool area but I'm only pretty sure after all there we're 180 eggs over a couple acres .It's 40 feet long and 12 feet deep at the deep end and the gate is at the shallow end .So I'm down by the deep end and I slip on the last piece of ice out there ,I fell in part way .My bad leg and hip are in the ice water and I think I pulled it out of it's socket .My dog Lizzie see's I'm having a problem ,now lizzie is a 68 pound mastiff that is absolutely fearless .She runs through the gate at the speed of light and across the full length of the pool only supported by the pool cover.She would have done fine but she stopped when she got to me (ah chit) the both of us sank to the bottom of the deep end with the cover on top of us .I had to then save my dog and finally got her out and by that time the grand kids all ran to help thinking it was funny (actually it sort of was)my youngest son (nick name Hulk for good reason) pulled me out and got me to the house .I HATE COLD WATER
.they all got me dried off and blanketed up in front of the pellet stove for a couple hours .Last eve my wife under protest drove me to the hospital where they worked on my hip for three hours and got me back together .Hulk lugged me up stairs and stuck me in bed ,he stayed the night They kept stuffed the pain killers so I wouldn't move much in the night .I'm doin' fine and I can get around some .Did I mention "I HATE COLD WATER."
