My son fell off a 65 ft. bluff, landing on a pipe between his legs. Then he eventually landed on a rat, killing it. My son is doing very well now, but it's been a long year. Thank you for being here in cyberspace for me, a sympathetic medical voice.<BR/> By the way, I'm a recovered attorney--I teach kindergarten now.
