Trip to the hospital

ROAD TRIP!

Dad's going to make a quick jaunt to the hospital- nothing serious, though.

Since the accident, he's been wearing a cervical collar to protect the teeny fractures in his collarbone/neck/jaw. Most of the time patients are allowed to take them off once they can say "Hey, this doesn't hurt anymore." Since that option's not currently available to us, we have to rely on CT scans to let us know if he's all good.

We'll know later today if we can take that off. Once it's off, there will be less pressure on his neck, less insulation near his head to contribute to his body temperature, etc. I'll keep you posted.

In other news, there's been a fund set up to help with my Dad's medical expenses. I'll get you the info soon.
