Attack of the Lawn Chair

Sunday.  The wonderful day of rest.  It was a lovely Sunday here...  The sun was shining.  Birds were singing.  Flowers in bloom...

Then along came a lawn chair.  A blue beach chair to be exact... the kind that sits on the beach.  ( Hence beach chair...)  Beach chairs are only about 6 little inches off the ground.  Hard to get into and out of...but hey.  If you ever need a reason to workout...get one.  It is very inspiring!  

Anyway... Sam decided he needed some sunshine.  He went out with Ellie and his trusty crutches.  She was playing and Sam was soaking up some Vitamin D.  It was great, until he reached for the pillow.  The chair collapsed on him.  Remember Sam has that brand new shiny hip pinned inside of him...  It hurt so bad he couldn't call out for help.  His head was on the ground.  His feet were on the ground.  His bottom was up in the air approximately 6 inches.  Ellie ran over and said..."Dad, your chair fell down...!"  Sam tried his best to get Ellie to help him up.  Not so easy with that hip stuff going on.  So, now he has a hurt back AND a hurt hip.  Poor Sam.  We just love him... :)  And put him to bed.  It is almost like having a toddler, in grown man size.  Now he just needs adult diapers and we will have it made.  

Hope your lawn chair treats you better!
