Ok...

Umm...I know that I have been slacking a bit over the last few weeks...It has been a LONG few weeks though...On November 4, 2006 my uncle was out cutting down trees with some of his friends and one of the trees fell on him and hit him directly across the back of the head and knocked him out. Well, that is where is friends found him and they thought that he had just passed out (he is a diabetic) so they called 911. Paramedics arrived...assessed his condition and took him to ER. They started X-Rays and found a broken hip so they decided to send him to Fargo. But that was the least of our worries...It turns out that he has a broken neck. Anterior and Posterior. Plus he also has spinal cord injury. So, that means that he may never walk again. As of right now that is what his doctors are telling him at least. He does have movement in his arms and hands and can grasp. He will start physical and occupational therapy as soon as they get his breathing under control. Yes it has been a LONG week and half. He also lives with my Grandmother so she is stressing big time. The house that they live in...it is about 120 years old...handed down from my Grandfathers' Grandparents...There is almost no way that they can make it accessible for a wheelchair...so, both my Grandmother and Uncle know that they will have to move...and I know that it makes my Grandmother a little sad because of all the memories that house holds.

And then the other "funny"...I am going to have to go kill my mechanic tomorrow! YUP...he is dead...all thanks to the guy that he hired to help him...So, the saga started last Thursday when I left work and I brought my car over there...I was leaving town for the weekend (with mothers vehicle) and figured what better time to get an oil change and tires looked at...So, 5 days later and it has yet to be even touched...I have called and made a pest of myself about 5 times a day the last 2 days...I just got frustrated and called tonight asked to talk to P (mechanic)...Informed that he is not there...Ok, T (assistant) informs me that is not sure of what is going on with my car...I tell him that I NEED IT regardless of what he knows...And that I am coming to get it tonight...He then proceeds to tell me that he doesn't think that I can come and take it...EXCUSE ME!!!!...Am I not the registered owner???? So, I tell him that I need it and I ask him if he knows where the keys are at...He tells me that the keys are in the car...and the car is on the lot...Unlocked (So, in essence anyone could have came and drove off with my car and they would have never known it)...I then told T to make sure that he went to my car and locked it when he got off the phone with me...Stupid me for not following up...Because when I went to get my car my sister gets out of the van and jumps into my car and then realizes that the doors are unlocked and the keys are in the ignition...Boy are P and I going to have a GREAT discussion tomorrow...In person not just over the phone! (A little background: P and I have known each other for about 10 years...through mutual friends...He went away to Iraq in the Guards and then when he came back he started working at this place and about 3 years ago bought out the other guy and that is when I started going there...After my last mechanic started treating me like I was an idiot...So, I will need to remind P that I am NOT an idiot I guess)

And as far as the Crush goes...Yes, I admit, I think I do! We are trying to plan on going out sometime...We are setting a goal for this Friday...Oh, that's only about 3 days away! Oh My! *Giggles*

Thanks for listening!

Off to find some information~

I'm sorry to hear about your uncle. I hope he regains the use of his legs through PT/OT, then maybe your Grandmother won't have to move.
As for the mechanic, go get 'em! Men! It's hard to find good help these days. I can't believe they couldn't manage an oil change and to check the tires.
WOO HOO!! A date Friday night :D You'll have to let us know how it goes.
