Doug had a bad fall today. He was out working in the back yard, and was coming in the house. I reminded him, that the lawn guy had just sprayed, and he couldn't walk on the lawn yet, so he hurried and tried to come across the landscaping rocks by the stairs, and one came loose and he lost his balance. I saw him fall hard on his face. I ran up to him to help him, but there was nothing I could do. The way he landed, I thought he might have broken his hip or arm... He had nothing to stop his fall. When he stood up, he was covered in blood. It was dripping down his face pretty bad. He had a big gash above his eye and one across his nose. Thank goodness he didn't break any bones. We couldn't stop the bleeding by his nose, so we went to the Instacare. They cleaned it up a little and put in a few stitches. He didn't have them check his hand, but he thinks he sprained his finger. His arm and knee also hurt a lot. He was covered in scrapes. 2 days later and he has 2 black eyes all the way down to his cheeks. He said he feels like he got run over my a truck. He had his yearly appointment with the skin Dr. and he saw his face and ordered him some antibiotics and some special cream to stop the oozing. At one week he got the stitches out. By 10 days, the swelling and black eyes are much better. I am so thankful he wasn't seriously hurt!
