Texted Uncle earlier to ask if it was OK to call him then. He responded that he was having dialysis and he'd call shortly. In his typical tongue-in-cheek way...also said he had a "surprise" to tell me, that would likely make me ecstatic and have me standing on my head and spitting out wooden nickels. 
Here's an update he asked me to post:
He'd finally felt well enough to go for coffee and/or tea with some friends. When trying to get up and sit on a barstool type chair, his foot slipped off the footrung, and down he went to the floor. Landed on his hip, leg, and back. So, he's in the hospital again ...this time with a broken tibia and surgery hopefully scheduled for tomorrow. Was a good thing it wasn't a broken hip. He was told surgery wouldn't involve plates and pins, but was 1 level up from that, which would be less involved.

You know, I've been wishing he'd catch a break. Never occurred to me that the gods would take me literally.
I think the girls worked SMT too hard today.
I’m really sorry to hear that. He just pm’d me a few days ago. I guess I shouldn’t expect a response soon. I hope his surgery goes well.Texted Uncle earlier to ask if it was OK to call him then.

I got in a workout and got cleaned up. Just relaxing and taking a vape break. Might watch an episode of X Files.
I’m on season 7. Not watching it tonight.
Looks like SMT hasn’t checked in all day. Hope all is well.
Evening all, 6:20pm and having coffee. Has gotten very windy out and the new little dog doesn't like going out there. Kinda like the wife doesn't like the wind either lol.
Sorry to hear about Uncle's troubles - can't catch a break it seems.
