my neighbor

Holy crap. Okay, I'm sitting here and suddenly I hear this metallic WHUMP outside and I think someone is being a dumbass on the stairs and suddenly L says "it sounds like someone fell" and we go running out and there's our elderly neighbor Paul face down at the foot of the concrete stairs. Holy SHIT. L dials 911 and I'm trying to get him to talk to

Poor guy. Hope he's ok. Head wounds always bleed bad, though, so I'm keeping fingers crossed he's made of sturdy stuff and the tumble just looked horrific.

And who the fuck steals wedding rings off living people at a hospital?! WTH!? Decency? No?

yeah, he's a tough guy (ex Navy) but he's 70 years old. I'm kind of depressed that I can't seem to find anything like family or someone to contact for him. The emergency room when I called them would only tell me that yes he's still in emergency. I'll go see him tomorrow morning or try to.

and yeah, Grandma was in a nursing home for almost ten years, no trouble with anyone there. The ONE time she had to go to the hospital for some tests and she came back sans wedding ring. And of course she was so not there anymore she had no idea what happened to it.

In a parallel universe I have stuffed that fucker who stole it with poblano chilis in every orifice and I have hung him/her upside down and I'm beating them with an ironwood cane forever.
