For the most part, yesterday was just a normal summer Friday. Then I got a phone call from a co-worker about 7:30pm. Turns out my boss's wife was in a terrible parasailing accident and had to be rushed to the emergency ward of the big Milwaukee hospital (which is 120 miles south of where the accident occurred). I was with the immediate family at the hospital until close to midnight. She's nearly 80 years old and she injured her spine and broke several bones (her arm and pelvis mainly). She also suffered an internal injury to her aorta. It's pretty much a miracle that she even survived. When we saw her last night, she was conscious and thankfully is able to move her arms and legs (so hopefully no permanent paralysis). She has several surgeries scheduled for today. My boss is pretty much in shock as are the rest of us. His wife (Fran) has always treated me like family and we all hope and pray that she will recover from this devastating accident.
