Rock Head

Well we relaxed and had a few cocktails and the girls made dinner for us. Thanks Maddie and Chole. Nate and Myles went and played outside with Jessie. Well we all sat down and enjoyed the tacos and other fare that was put in front of us. After eating Nate, Myles and Jessie went out to pick up a few rocks from the ski hill to bring home with us. After 1 trip they went back out and while running down the ski hill and lost his footing looking back for Jessie and fell. He his his head on a rock and put a gash about an 1 1/2 inches long and about a 1/2 inch wide. So he come to the room and his hands and arms are full of blood and just running out of his head and Jessie is just crying just behind him. Myles said and I believe him that he just fell and hit his head on a rock. Well we called the med care for the ski hill as they post that they have someone on premises around the clock. Just as we all knew we called valet to bring the truck up the hill to run Nate to the hospital. The hospital was 40 miles away and all the roads there are twisting so it took about an hour to drive there. Once there I was amazed that there wasn't many cars in the ER parking lot. Sweet not a long wait. Well we go in and then fill out the paperwork and are put in a room. Needless to say this town was so small that they had only 1 Dr. on a Sat night and he was taking care of a regular patient that forgot to take her high blood presure meds. I was nice and waited about 20 minutes and then asked the Dr. who was on the phone why I was waiting while he was talking on the phone and why a hospital on a Sat night only had 1 Dr.? I kind of made him made by asking him why a lady who wants to drink and forgets to take her meds was more important then a kids who bashes his head open. He came in a talked some crap that it was and I told him otherwise and he left and came back in a few minutes and took care of Nate. He cleaned it up and put 2 on the inside and 5 on the outside to close the hole in his head. Wwe got back to the place after midnight and got to bed. Nate slept fine and is back to his same old right now. Going to eat some breakfast and now watch some short track and super D. I hope the rest of the trip is uneventful. Later..
