Last night, Rolando broke his ankle badly. He is in the hospital with the course of treatment currently undertermined. We are devastated on many levels. I hope it can be fixed without surgury and that he heals easily. I hope we can manage the transfers.

This puts an end to our Vegas trip. We are so disappointed.

I'm very sorry to hear about Ro's accident.  What is important now is that he is in a good place and is getting the right treatment.  Vegas isn't going anywhere.  It will still be around long after Ro is better.

My best to both of you!

Updating, Rolando's ankle is broken in three places. The bone, happily, is not displaced. They have placed his lower leg and foot in a stabilizing boot. They did not put him in a cast because they want his skin inspected every day. He cannot place any weight AT ALL on it for two months(!!!) He's in some pain but is loving that morphine.

Rolando is still in the hospital. We came in with a broken ankle but they are using the opportunity to do his 30,000 mile inspection and servicing. We really hate going into the emergency room because we can almost never avoid this situation. Hopefully we will be set free on Tuesday. Thanks to everyone for your kind words and encouragement. It helps a lot.

This is an enhancement - I am posting this from his hospital room. Nice.

So glad he is at least getting pain relief from the morphine. Hope it heals faster than hoped. I totally understand the hating to go to the ER also, I know everytime I have to go to the ER I should bring my cell phone charger and such b/c I am admitted everytime.
