Looks like I need to start walking more.

was the most positive way to start a day  , only regret was not having spent more time with other dog(tom and his wife Zina ). quick meeting due to fact the puppies were in the truck and could NOT be left alone by ct standards .

No, thank you for coming out to meet us. It looks like we're going to be here at least one extra day, Zina's dad fell today and hurt his leg. I don't think he broke his hip or anything, but I'm not a doctor ( I just play one on TV) and we couldn't stay at the Holiday Inn Express because they don't allow dogs, so I'm not sure.

They called 911 and they took him to the hospital to check him anyway, because it was hurting where he had hip replacement surgery several years ago. Vicki from Florida hasn't called with any news yet, and they took him about 5:30.

Vicki from Florida just called, she said they didn't find anything broken, but they were going to do a cat scan. So we might still leave tomorrow, or we might not. If we do it won't be early, like we had planned.

So, the latest update is that he fractured his femur. I think I heard her say hairline fracture on the phone,  but that's the main bone in your leg, and he's 91.

Vicki from Florida came over here and picked Zina up about 6AM. Vicki from Florida and her stepmom had been at the hospital all night. They're still there, I'm at the motel with the dogs.

That's about all I know now.

That's good, if they are doing a cat scan, the dogs probably shouldn't be at the hospital.

TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS

She said they were coming home when he was admitted to a room, and that was almost an hour ago. Place must be worse than Lynchburg General.

Somewhere in Hartford is all I know. We were going to leave Friday so Zina could take her stepmom over there and Vicki from Florida could visit her friends tomorrow, and Vicki from Florida could take her Friday. But now Zina said we're leaving tomorrow.

She said it was so crowded over there they had beds in the hallway, with patients waiting to get in a room. Her dad has already called home 3 times and left messages telling his wife to bring him a pair of shoes and something else, I forgot what he needed, and to come and get him because he was not staying there. I feel bad for him, I thought about going to rescue him but it's probably best that I not attempt any kind of rescue mission.

Wow, that is very nice of you. Zina says that's extremely nice. Her Dad seems to be OK, so we're going to head home in the morning.

We got gas at the truck stop on the way here. First time I'd been in there in years. I couldn't go any farther because I had to pee bad.

Zina lived in an apartment with her sister Vicki from Florida just down past the truck stop a little ways when I knew her in the 80's. Vicki from Florida is up here too, she's staying with friends.

Zina's first job was working at that Burger King across the road from the truck stop. 

I was wrong, Zina's first job was at the Burger King on Queen Street, not the one down by the truck stop.
