Didn't have a chance to make a To-Do list for today...but I WILL so I can cross things off and feel as if I've done something. (Rescue Tom, check; Call 911, check; Clear snow off the windshield and follow Tom to the hospital, check;...Nap!, check; drive another 40 miles round trip, check...)

Picked up a coupla packages of frozen mac & cheese on the way home -- supper! Just finished a small glass of wine. I think Tom's out of scotch, so I can't make a Rob Roy. I'll settle for a Planter's Punch...the orange juice (and falernum and maraschino cherries) is good for me. (Boy, I sucked down orange and cranberry juice in the ER this morning!)

Tom must have pulled muscles in his back or just bruised it a lot when he fell. It's very painful when he coughs...and very painful for me to watch him. But he's in good hands even if they're a bit stretched. We're both looking forward to him coming home, probably tomorrow. I won't know for sure until I get to the hospital tomorrow morning. Mostly they're just watching the enzyme levels, but he's also getting some IV antibiotics for his ankle wound and the remains of his foot infection.

Thanks for all the prayers, white light and general good thoughts -- really appreciated.
