Friday morning Michael and Wes were loading a crane pad onto a semi trailer when another guy tried to help out and accidentally caused the crane pad to slam into Michaels forearm. The break was a compound fracture so he had to have a plate put on the bone to hold it together.

The accident happened around 2 am and I got a call from the foreman around 5 am letting me know what happened and that Michael was about to go into surgery. Thank goodness my husband knows me so well! He asked Greg (the foreman) to wait until they knew what was happening before he called me.

So my Mom and Julianna watched the kids for me so I could head up to the hospital. By the time I got there the surgery was over and he was in recovery. I had to wait two hours! before I could see him. And they sent him home the same day. I think it was around 2:30 when we got home.

So now he's home and feeling fine but unable to go back to work until the surgeon releases him. Which means he's going to get bored really quick and start making me crazy.
