I was planning to attend my friend's husband's 75th birthday party tomorrow night, but she called a couple of days ago to explain that the gentleman had fallen off his toilet after flushing and broken a rib. Not the best way to celebrate a birthday unfortunately. He is awaiting knee replacment surgery for both knees next March so it would help explain his loss of balance. He is also overweight. My friend was at work when it happened so they ended up in emergency that night as he was in such pain. All they gave him was a light morphine prescription and they are thinking of having the dose increased.
What can I say, I mailed his birthday card and hopefully he can have his party at a later date!
