Awake early and off to have coffee with Jan. While there, I received a call from the Orthopedic Surgeon and was told to have John over at the hospital this afternoon to see the orthopedic trauma surgeon on call. Perhaps we will get some answers as to what happens next.

Took John in and 6 1/2 hours later we were finally told that John needed to be admitted BUT there were no beds ( imagine that!!). He had xrays and blood work and we left with instructions to return at 8AM for CT scan of his knee and impending surgery. Those 4 pins sticking out of his leg need to come out BUT the dilemma is "then what" --- do they put screws and a plate in there to stabilize the fracture or do they put a fancy dancy brace on it and let it heal on its own. There are going to be 2 or 3 surgeons deciding just what to do. I think I am getting another headache!!!

Either way, Hogan and I will once again be on our own for a few days!! PARTY ON!!!!
