BSCC- Upcoming cars and coffee event

Fri Aug 6 14:35:12 EDT 2010

Sharon and Chuck,

What a scare for the both of you!  28 feet, Chuck you are  very lucky not to have sustained greater injuries.  It most certainly could have been worse-- he could have landed on the Corvair and scratched the paint.  It must be all that singing in the choir stuff, that put you in God’s good graces.  (If I only could carry  tune.)  

I am so glad to hear that Chuck is okay, relatively speaking.  Chicken soup and Jack Daniels will put things right in no time.  Chuck, I’m not sure what will put things right for you, maybe you should grow a real mustache.   

Get well soon.  Paul Raia

Celia and Paul,

I am sorry that we are going to miss Volkvair this year.  It is one of

our favorite shows too.  

Chuck took a bad fall off a 28 ft ladder that he had up to our gutters

on the 2nd floor of our house.  He is very, very lucky that he did not 

break anything other than a bone in his nose.  He has a swollen lip 

with a lot of discoloration (looks like a hitler mustache he says) and

a very, very aching back which seems to be muscle pain.  We are

not sure how it happened because he doesnt remember but we 

know that he landed first on a 4ft high miniature japanes maple

because that had branches broken and sharp points sticking up.

I heard the ladder slide and the thud of his fall - raced down while 

dialing 911 on the portable phone.  He was unconcious when I first 

looked out the upstairs window but was coming around when I got

next to him.  When the EMTs arrived he did not know his name, age

(and they didnt believe me when I said he was 70 in Feb.) etc.

He did not fully come around until they were putting him in the ambulance.

This happened Saturday morning at 8:30 am - it was beautiful - not 

humid or too sunny.  Because he cant remember what happened 

they did a lot of tests to make sure no stroke - heart issues etc.

He will be wearing a heart monitor for a month just to make sure 

there are no conditions that they missed.  It is probably just regressive

amnesia from the concusion.  He is very tired and very sore when he goes

to roll over or get up but all in all, he is very lucky.

Im sorry we wont be there to have our usual good time but I know you 

all can understand.

Sharon
