Trip Part 3 - The Land of the DEAD!

So we drove back to my parents house on Wednesday into the Land of the Dead.
Rewind: The Tuesday before we got to my parents house my sister calls me bawling and says that my dad has been in a motorcycle accident. No good! Turns out he was in an accident in Monte Cristo. He tore up his hand pretty bad and had to have surgery right away. As they were cleaning out the wound it was worse than they thought. He had 3 tendons that were mushy and a broken pinky bone. He also would need a skin graft to cover the open area where the skin was scraped away. Gross! Anyways, my dad was not able to come on the river (which is his FAVORITE trip). However, just because he was on his death bed didn't keep the rest of us from enjoying ourselves :). Here is my dad in the hospital before his surgery.
Sandee came home from the river a day early because she had to get a deviated septum surgery on her nose. It was much more painful and agonizing then she had imagined. She was hung up the rest of our trip. So this is what the two looked like when we got home.
I used to work for my uncle Greg. I worked for him for quite sometime and we became very close. I absolutely love him. He is such a nut but so fun and if I lived in Utah I would totally go work for him again (I would just have 3 kids in tow as well). A year or so ago he was diagnosed with colon cancer and after radiation, surgery, chemo etc. things are looking up. He had his poop bag surgery while I was in town so I definitely had to go visit my ole' boss Gregory.



So...I'm glad to say that Sandee and my dad are doing better. Dad has to wear a splint for 8 weeks but at least he can walk and breathe and all. Greg is still in a rut but he will be super duper in a few days (I hope).
