A sudden arboreal stop
So...it's 2:30 now. I've been at the ER since 7:30 this morning.
Everything's more or less okay--or will be eventually--but my dad crashed his bicycle into a parked car this morning, and has a broken clavicle and three broken ribs. We're not sure yet if they're going to operate on the clavicle, keep him overnight to watch the ribs (apparently, they might interfere with his lungs), or both, but he's stable and hopped up on enough morphine to knock out an elephant. All I can say is, thank goodness for bike helmets.
