He's OK

[mizarchivist]

Just got a call from quiet_elegance. The first words out of his mouth were "I'm OK."
It turns out that while he was out to get some tools and feed meters at the hospital job site, some guy coming out of a parking spot hit  him going about 10 miles per hour. The bastard didn't even stop. The guys at the site helped him get his head back together, assess damage, call the police, and so on. He's bruised but fine and gets a freebie day off tomorrow. We should take pictures of our bruises (me from falling on monday)... or something. I did tell him that he really didn't have to play a game of one upsmanship with me.

Yipe! Glad he's OK.

Holy crap! Let us know if you need anything?

[mizarchivist]

Thanks so much for the offer. I suspect he'll be OK (whew). He'll be knocking back the Advil for a few days, for sure.

ACK!!!

Glad he's alright. Take care of yourselves!

Thanks

Wow. That's really awful, but I'm glad he's ok. I hope he's taking a trip to the hospital? And chance of identifying the driver?

[mizarchivist]

I'm going to have faith that if he needed to visit the hospital his boss would have made him do so. No chance of ID, I'm afraid.

Bastard!

I hope he's really ok...

[mizarchivist]

Aside from stiff and sore and a bit slap happy, yes. He really is ok :)

It's a good idea to take pictures of bruises like that anyway, just in case you find yourself wondering, "Was it that big when I got it?", or "Did it somehow shift down my chest?".

Some people draw the outlines of bruises with Sharpies, but I think pictures are better.

I'm gonna have to second the pictures idea. I have a friend who takes care of older patients and they do that all the time.

the bruise hasn't popped up yet- on his shin. But we will

Given that q_e is largely unscathed, I'm actually kinda glad he didn't ID the driver. For the driver's sake. What the police would do is nothing compared to what the guys on the crew could come up with.

"Son, you ever see what a hydraulic rotary hammer drill (http://www.csunitec.com/rotary/hydrotary.html#2inchhammer) will do to a vehicle? Lemme show ya."

That would be worth seeing... ;-)

Quite so :)

Dude! Not okay!!

But I'm glad he's okay.

[taura-g.livejournal.com]

Yikes! I am glad that he is ok.

I hope you both feel better quickly.

[mizarchivist]

Thanks, darlin'. He's making very bad jokes right now - ones not fit for anyone over 7, so I think he'll be OK.

[cutieperson]

phone calls that start that way are never fun. but i'm glad he's relatively okay!

[mizarchivist]

thanks :)

Grarr. [kill kill kill da driver]

[mizarchivist]

at this point? Likely. Matt's belief is that he's either an illegal or without licence/insurance. But no proof beyond fleeing like a felon.
There are security cameras in that part of the world, so it's possible that the licence will be ID-ed.

No kidding. I had a few moments this afternoon playing that irritating "what if" game. Eeesh

oh!`

[milknut.livejournal.com]

Hugs to both of you! That's not cool!

[beowabbit]

Oh, I’m so glad he&rsquo's OK! Please give him my sympathies and hug him — gently.

[gosling.livejournal.com]

That's really scary! I'm so glad he's not seriously hurt.

[drwex]

I'm right there with you on the "scary what-if games". I do that all the time.

Glad he's OK and we'll try to get the tub functional for tonight. To be honest I think the porch is going to be beyond hope (ice on ice on ice) so please bring good footgear.

I'm glad he's (relatively) okay.
