Unplanned Labor day weekend

Well this past Friday, September 2nd, did not going as planned. Alex was off Wednesday-Friday due to his mom and step-dad (who he working with right now) being on vacation for a relatives wedding, that we weren't able to go to. Friday he had off to was going to go feed his moms cats, and then maybe stop at some yard sales so he wasn't bored. Then make me some dinner when I got home.Well I was at work, all excited cause of the transitions going on and we losing some kids that drive me crazy. I know horrible to say. But lunch finally came and I was texting my husband and no reply so I called and again no answer. I figured well he didn't mow yesterday that what he doing. So I sat my phone aside and ate my lunch and noticed I had three missed calls. I didnt know the number so I tried calling back. It was Union hospital....my thought "oh great what going on." Well without more information the lady who answered couldn't help me. Then I noticed I had a voice mail...so I checked it, and it was Alex. New thought "oh shit what happened?" So I call back and took a chance giving them our last name and what I was hoping wasn't going to happen, they had someone checked in with that name so they transferred me to the Emergency Room department and I finally got through and my fear came true. My hubby was in the hospital. He was leaving the house headed to come see me at lunch and was going like 20-25 on his motorcycle, and a truck pulled out in front of him and he t-boned the passenger door. Again new thought :: "Holy Shit I gotta get to him I need to leave work."

I start getting really on edge, and I am like okay well I will ask to leave I am on my way are you okay. He like yeah I'm going for cat scan now so I may loose you but you don't have to come. I am like I am coming no questions asked I will go ask now and make sure they don't care. I get off phone and try to stay really calm and go ask if it okay if I leave....mind you at this time I didn't for sure know he was on the bike but I had a pretty good idea. Then I went and told the lady I work with that I was leaving and she was trying to make sure I was okay to drive the 30 minutes to the hospital. I assured her I was but secretly I wasn't sure. I called my mom cause I was worried and she talked to me til I got there. I walked in and he was still out having tests done. He came back and filled me in. He has a neck brace on and arm was all banged up. He said he hit them blacked out and woke up 10-15min later with EMT's next to him and right by bike, so he didn't go far. He saw a yellow truck or so he says, but what little he knows was told to him like who it was and all that. Well after about 5hrs of being there they decide they want to transfer him because it looked as though he could have a c7 fracture in his spine and a broken wrist.

So he left in ambulance and I took off home to get him change of clothes and my cousin got his phone and stuff out of bike and I picked up my mom and she drove me to Aultman, which is like 2min from where I work. I get there and we go back to see him. He was off getting more x-rays and cat scans and all that stuff cause he obviously hadn't had enough. Then they told him he had to stay overnight. He was uncomfortable with the neck brace on. He hadn't eaten since Thursday night and by the time he got food it just made him sick. The moving around on the bed made him motion sick, and he was just weak and sore. By 6am Saturday, no doctor had checked his arm at all but they said everything looked good in his neck, thank god. Finally 6pm we were getting to leave. But nothing new about arm, which he is really pissed at the doctor now. So we head home and the pharmacy was already closed so no pain meds for him that night.

By Sunday I went and got his meds and he was feeling a little better. We just hung around the house and I took care of him. He plans to call the officer who left his card to see about getting more information about the accident such as what he needs to do now and about the lady who hit him, and he will need to call a doctor around here for a follow up about his wrist. He really pissed about his bike not sure if it can be fixed, we finally stopped and looked at what we could of it through the gates of the towing place but he wants to go when it open I would assume. Today (monday the 5th) we had his dad my mom and dad and brother and his gf over for a bit which was fun but he said it just wasn't how he had planned it. He hoping if bike can't get fixed they have to buy him a new one, and he was worried about being off work so long but he thinks she will have to pay him for his lost wages. So we will see. I will update. Here a quick picture I took of him at Union before being transferred to Aultman.

Thanks again to everyone who showed concern, and prayed for him. I am so happy he is alright and it turned out to be nothing more than a broken wrist and a bunch of sore muscles and bruises.
