An Interesting Day in the Altmark Home


The phone rings, it's from Jacobs Camp, Mississippi. Not good. Aron is the bicycle specialist at camp this summer. It's JC (camp director), really bad news!
Aron went over the handle bars head first and is on the way to the Emergency Room in Jackson, not good. It seems he was carrying something for a camper(s) and it got stuck in the spokes and over he went. His head hit so hard that his helmet (yes, he always wears his safety gear) cracked in three places. That's a hard hit! How and nobody seems to understand how, he got up and walked himself to the infirmary and promptly fainted.
Cancel all appointments and re-arrange my schedule and off to Utica, Mississippi we go. By the way I just want to take this opportunity to shout out to my clients! You are so understanding and supportive!
We get to camp (first image) and then we march into the infirmary and are greeted by the second image. Pretty huh? It's now 10am and we have to have Aron back in Birmingham to see the dentist by 2:30pm. It's a five hour trip (do the math). We rush on back to Birmingham and he's still too swollen for Dr. Weiss to do anything! Mumble grumble mumble. Meanwhile, I have to work at 5pm. I get to the job and explain my day (I have the greatest clients in the world) and we do the gig uneventfully - Thank G-D!
What a day
