A Bad Break

Friday, Stevie was post call and wanted to do something fun with his brother, Charles.  So he found a fish hatcherie and salmon run for them to go see.  This is the time of year that the salmon "run" or swim back up stream to lay their eggs and it's a pretty fantastic feat of nature to watch.  We went with my sister and her family last year to a place near Olympia, but this place was much closer.

By all accounts, they were having a great time watching the fish and the fishermen, until Stevie slipped on an icy patch of ground and went - BOOM - strait down on his wrist.  I knew it was bad when Charles called me to say they were on their way to the hospital to get an x-ray.  Stevie does not do hospitals until things get really bad.

Sure enough, he has a radial head fracture in his right arm which won him a cast for three weeks and a free vacation from work until the end of the year!  Oh, man!

We were going to have "Daddy's famous hamburgers" that night for dinner, so Charles had to take over and be "directed" by the famous chef.
