Accidents Happen!

Today was a good day...for me. I had a nice time at church with the kids and came home with high hopes of continuing my happy high. Well I walked in the door and what did I find? Mitch on the couch, watching football, under a blanket, looking very sad. Well too make a long story short, he got burned at work with 220 degree water. It was so bad they took him from work in an ambulance to the hospital. I never knew this because I was sitting my happy butt at church and I dont take my cell phone there. I felt so bad for him. He is such a trooper but he did tell me it "Hurt like hell"! So that's gotta be pretty bad because I imagine hell hurts. His boot filled with this water and his socks held it around his foot until he could get it off. This caused second degree burns! Plus the water got on his wrist and behind his legs. His foot looks like his wrist does with blisters all over the top of it. Whats amazing is that the bottom of his foot is okay so he can walk on it. So glad things arent worse than they could've been.
