OnTheBrink Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 He was riding his bike home from work and ran into the back of a buick, flew over the trunk and somehow punctured his arm badly. The police came to bring me his bike and let me know he was on the way to the hospital in an ambulance. I flew down to the hospital to find out that he was ok, just bloody and sore. He was cited for not obeying traffic laws (he apparently didn't obey the "don't walk" sign) and the other driver was cited as well, but I'm not sure for what. There is absolutely nothing worse than seeing an officer at your door with your son's bike in his hands and no son present. He'll be ok, they put him on an antibiotic for the puncture wound and motrin for pain. I have 450 new gray hairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in the Kootenays Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 My dh did the same thing but lost all his front teeth for his efforts. I think he was 18 when he did it so it was his mother - not me - that got the grey hair. Hope you're all well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnTheBrink Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Thank you for the prayers and hugs. I'm just about done in. He's feeling crabby and achy and I hope the motrin puts him to sleep for a bit. I'm going to bed early. I hope tomorrow is normal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnTheBrink Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 His biggest gripe about this whole thing is that now that he has this medical bill to pay, this may push back his target date for moving out into his own place. I briefly considered paying for this, but he's no longer a minor, has a job and he readily admits this was his fault. So, he gets to fund this one himself. That's hard for me, because as his mom, I want to make it all better, but he's a "growed up" now, he has to make it better for himself.
