Today, when coming to meet me for lunch, Gene stumped his toe on something in the street (street is being worked on and is a mess) and took a terrible fall. He insisted that he was okay, even though he difinitely did not want to go to lunch. I tried to drive him home, but no, he was okay. I did walk him to his car. Before long, he called and said that he was at an urgent care place. I met him there. He did not have any broken bones, but he is really in a lot of pain. He fell on his side and shoulder. He is on pain medicine, but still moans every time he has to move. I'm sure he'll be really sore tomorrow. He has already called and is not planning to work tomorrow. Gene's father is in hospital and that presents some problems. The doctor has said that he will not be able to go home and stay alone when the housekeeper is not there. We're trying to work this out also.
