Some days are just.....downers

I haven't felt the urge to write as of late. Perhaps it is due to the fact that my mate is struggling with a serious injury he incurred in a freak accident while getting off our boat after taking our 3 grandchildren out for an exhilarating tubing ride. Such is life, with all its ups and downs. When sliding off the side, rather than use the ladder, part of his bathing suit liner caught on something. It flipped him as well as causing a tear in his testicle requiring 7 stitches. He was lucky in more than one way. It could have been worse. Fortunately, he arrived at the ER before it got busy and was seen immediately. He got a discount on the bill. It cost us $700 of which was paid up front. He was checked yesterday and they decided not to remove the stitches yet and there is concerns regarding infection. They have referred him to a wound specialist on Monday. I choose to stay out of the lake because Wade could not go swimming after injuring himself. Also, I had to do all the work myself of breaking down our campsite and loading up. It was hard but I did it.
