    The S.O.B. goes down Hard

    Yeah, the Son of Bluerauder (SOB) looks like he went the full 15 rounds with Rocky Balboa. Got a call yesterday at work that the wife was enroute to the hospital with him.

    Story is that he dropped a picture frame (corner down) on his bare foot and
    smashed his big toe pretty badly. He cleaned up the toe and sat down on the steps and started to feel "light headed". He figured it was best to lay down a minute. He stood up and immediately passed out (from the trauma to his foot). He says that he doesn't even remember blacking out or going down. He suspects that he was only out a minute or two but cannot verify at all. The Doc says that this is pretty common after an injury like this.

    After 5 hours in the emergency room at the hospital (a very busy day),
    he is home and he's OK. Got 5 stitches in his nose and has floor burns on his face and forehead where he did a header. His toe is pretty bad and he'll likely lose the nail. He's on meds and the Doc said "No work for 4 days".

    I thought it would have been easier and less painful to just call in sick.

    Wow!
    Glad to hear that SOB is 'OK' and recovering!

    I hope that this wasn't his accelerator foot and could possibly preclude him from driving Bluerauder in the future!

    I remember several similar incidents in college, but none of them involved a picture frame....

    Charlie glad to hear he is going to be ok, I don't know if his toe was bleeding but I know people that pass out when they see themselves bleeding. That is a hell of a rough way to get out of work.

    Funny that you mention this, Joe. He says that its his "fine acceleration" toe on his right foot for the Cougar. He knows that "fine acceleration" isn't necessary with the Bluerauder. I'm watching the keys to the MM closely.

    Lot's of blood trapped under the nail. When they "bored" a hole in the nail, it was like the dam busted. Don't think it was the sight of blood that caused him to pass out -- just the pain of the trauma event, I suspect. It took about 2 minutes for the pain to set in good. Up til then, I think he was just running on adrenaline.

    Thanks for the well wishes. I'll pass 'em on to SOB. He's feeling much better.

    Charlie, That painful event could have been avoided if you two had just returned to the Woodward Dream Cruise again this year. (four days off work, two days driving, two days enjoying, too late. )

    Give SOB our best.

    No cast. Just a big ugly and swollen toe that has been bandaged. uch: Back to work tomorrow. He still looks like a prize fighter after losing a fight though.
