A basketball tumble

Brian had quite a dramatic work-out session today. He went to the YMCA and took Liz with him. They have a really nice child-care center that she attends while he's working out.

He was playing basketball and reports that he was "playing quite well when he skied for a rebound and an old codger cut him off."

At that moment, he fell down right on his left knee blowing it out. Apparently, the fall was quite gruesome and even the other folks he was playing with, made comments. "Man, that was the worst fall I've ever seen."

That's always comforting.

He called me and I dashed to the Y and took him to the ER, one block away. Nothing is broken, but they're speculating there's probably some torn ligaments. He'll see an ortho specialist next week. For now, he's on crutches and pain killers. He's handling things as well as possible given the pain and the fact that if he moves his leg he's in excrutiating pain.

We're still going to try and head to Michigan to see Brian's family for Thanksgiving. This was actually Brian's first day of vacation. He has off until Sunday. We'll keep you posted.
