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. Surgery wouldn't involve plates and pins, but was 1 level up from that, which would be less involved.
