| Dad
had a golf cart accident yesterday and was lucky not
to die. He drove the cart full-speed into a storage
shed, destroying the structure and hitting his head
in the process. He lay on the cart path for many minutes
while other golfers gathered round to revive him. It
turns out that he was more dazed than anything, and
after many minutes with his head propped under a beer
cooler he was able to regain himself to his feet and
stop the bleeding.
Being the old trooper that he is, he refused immediate
medical attention and received expert medical care from
Jim Jame and Snuffy, his golfing buddies. They produced
three band-aids and insisted that he return to the golf
house, but after a beer Dad decided to continue playing
his round. It was the 6th hole.
Of course his sustained injuries became worse as the
evening progressed, and he eventually found that his
knee cap was swollen to twice its normal size. His girlfriend,
Sue, took him to the emergency room where he was x-rayed
and released. It seems that he has internal bleeding
on his knee with serious cartilage and ligament damage.
