A Warning for Walkers

[dvc_bwv]

Please be careful of the ribs though, and if you happen to develop a cough don't wait to get it checked out. This is just a word of caution and I don't mean to sound morbid, but I recently lost a terrific person in the attorney I worked for because he developed pneumonia after cracking a couple ribs while on vacation.

There was an age difference though as Bill was 78, but he was in good health. He would go sailing for a month every August on Lake Huron off upper Michigan and while below deck during a storm he got knocked into something and cracked a couple ribs. About a week or so later he developed a cough that was enough to cause a friend who was with him to worry and call the Coast Guard to airlift him off the boat to a hospital, but it was too late, as he died the next morning. It was a great loss for those who knew him well and the legal profession as a whole, as he was one of the foremost estate planning attorneys in the country, not to mention an all around terrific person. I know that sounds to be a bit much, but I'm not fabricating that. He had been named to all eight issues of the Best Lawyers in America. He will be greatly missed by many who knew and loved him.

Anyway, I just wanted to caution you to be careful with the ribs. Here's a bit of Pixie Dust to help you on your way to recovery.

See you at the DIS con.

Wow, Steve, what a story. Glad you are mostly ok. Certainly could have been a LOT worse. I won't slap you on the back like I was going to do.

Hey Steve, how's about a little update.....How are you feeling?

Hi everybody! Dan: LOL....but not too hard!

I'm doing pretty good today. Decided to come in to work, and this afternoon I'm going in for some kind of heat/sonic treatment that they say will speed the healing along a little bit. I'm going on vacation no matter what in 3 weeks, even if it means no TOT or Dinosaur or RnR. I'm a stubborn ol' mule, that's for sure.

Thanks to all of you for your good wishes, prayers and PD!

It sounds like you're on the right road (the road to recovery ) Steve! Just keep following that road and you should end up in WDW in 3 weeks.

OMG, Steve, I'm sitting here, stunned. I'm so sorry. I'm glad you weren't seriously hurt, and I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. Please, take it easy and take care of yourself.
