Karen is presently in the hospital. Shortly after the game last night, while talking to her sister on the phone, she leaned against a barstool which tipped over, and Karen hit the floor also. She was in great pain and unable to walk, so I had to call for an ambulance to transport her to the hospital.
She has a pubic rami fracture, actually more than one fracture. This is a fracture in the hip/pelvis area, although not on a weight bearing part of the area. Because it's not weight bearing, surgery will not be required.
She will be in the hospital for around 3 days, then transferred to a clinic for further recovery and rehab.
There is no truth to the rumor that I knocked her down the stairs for picking the Seahawks.
I will keep you posted during her recovery.
At some point, when things settle down and I can find the time, I will make a post congratulating cousin Eddy, by far the most intelligent member of his generation of the O'Leary clan. He truly dominated our league this season.
