Is Someone trying to tell me something?

It's been quite an interesting 24 hours. Last night during the thunderstorm, I believe our house was hit by lightening or awful close. It blew out our electricity and it took many hours to restore it. The outlet in my bathroom is blackened after I saw electricity shoot out of it. It blew our master switch on our panel. Our phones still don't work but at least we've got electricity now.

Then my hard working hubby went to dump some dirt at his dad's farm. While shoveling it into the dumping area, he fell off the tailgate of his truck. He had no one around and he was hurt very badly. He had to struggle to breathe and finally was able to drive himself to where his dad was. They called an ambulance and took him to hospital. He was there most of the day. He's at home now, cracked ribs and very sore. Lots of pain meds and we're happy to report no internal bleeding or damage to his organs. He still has trouble breathing when he moves, especially walks. Now the challenge is going to be to get him to rest long enough to get better.

I think he's vying for some nurturing from his wife.

Do you think Someone is trying to tell us something? Hmmmm....

Yvonne, thats awful! I hope that Greg heals quickly. Wow. Everyone I know is hurting themselves this summer.
Is the damage from the lightening costly? So glad no one was hurt...that day anyway!
