The latest rain in life

Yep tis so true the saying of when it rains it pours! Well Tim has had another dirt bike accident this time resulting in a jaw that is broken in 3 places and 2 sprained ankles. Ive always dreaded receiving a call from Tim's number and Troys voice being on the other end well it has happened and hopefully for the last time. Saturday July 11 he was riding at TMX..it was over 100 degrees and he hadnt eaten all day but had had fluids...he was riding got squirlly before the quad knew he couldnt quad it so let up to double double but not enough he landed hard on the face of the jump and "ate" his handle bars. He didnt wreck went off the track laid the bike over and begin spitting out blood. They called for an ambulence and his buddy Troy that he rides with called me said you know where the track is right(my heart stopped) i said yeah he said hes conscience and talking but you need to get out here...i hurried and called my neighbor karen to go with me thinking she could drive my car home and id take tim and the navi(i was unaware of an ambulence at this point) but as im pulling in troy called me again and wanted to know if i wanted to ride in the ambulence with tim or follow them to the hospital tim wanted me to ride with but i had to ride in the front. Baylor wouldnt take him because if something came up on the CT scan they would just have to transfer him anyways so we were taken to Harris. I called his parents to let them know so they could meet us up there. We get there and get admitted to the Trauma unit...they want him laying all the way back but it hurts him so much worse but they make him anyways say they have to wait til his CT scan to make sure there are no neck injuries, hes hurting so bad he has tears in his eyes which broke my heart cause i cant do a thing for him. Well after being there for 3 hours they finally take him for a scan and its like another 2 hours before they come back letting us know the on call oral surgeon has been called in and will be there shortly Dr. Peak shows up and lets us know Tim's chin is shattered and the jaw is broke on both sides so he will have to do surgery to put in a metal plate in his chin then wire his jaw shut for the sides...finally at 10pm were on the 4th floor and staying the night...we finally got discharged at 3ish on Sunday afternoon. His jaw is wired shut for AT LEAST 4 weeks, no riding for AT LEAST 8 weeks. He can only can consume what can be drank through a straw, so his meds are liquid. I hope he feels fast and everything goes smoothly and that he is a lot more careful from now on.

Florida Vacation 2009

Im going to start with HOME SWEET HOME! I have never gotten so home sick in my entire life! I am sooooo glad to be home! We went with Bryan and his dad the drive up was looooong the drive home long(we didnt stop as much thank goodness!). It rained...A LOT! Not the everyday for a second rain but the hey tim and misty are in florida lets have some storms move in kinda rain. So no dirt bike riding for tim and no scuba diving for bryan. Every restruant we went to be it sit down or fast food screwed something up every time! We went to siesta key beach several times(definatly my fave), tim and i went for a night walk on the beach :), we went to venice beach to see the black sand and look for sharks teeth(none found sand was black and gross and stuck to ya everywhere!), went to St Armands Circle and bought yummy peanut brittle and i got ice cream of course, drove down Martin Luther King Blvd(i do not suggest doing this if you are white or in a nice vehicle-people stopped dead in the middle of what they were doing to stop and stare at us til they could see us no more), road motorcylces to the beach one day then to some bar thing way far away another day but got to see Stephen King's home on that ride, hmmm i think that is about it...oh our favorite bartender Dee from last time still works at the Sniki tiki we went there everynight to see her and chat with her got to drink up there with her one night and on our last night that she and her husband took us to the Old Salty Dog and they paid for our dinner and drinks(very nice of them) hopefully we will see her again soon either here in Texas or when she goes to Alva, OK to see other friends(that is where tim goes to ride the sand dunes at little sahara)(small world huh?!?!?)
