From abscess to zoster

...it's DermAtlas, a highly-organized database of images of 6268 skin-related conditions and ailments. All educational, many not for the weak of stomach, some just heart-wrenching. Not for the casual surfer.

Edit: just heard from North Dakota that Dad, on motorbike, tangled with semi and lost. Surgery, broken hip, pin, road rash, ECU, and that's all we know right now.

And he's not dead yet. I have a feeling it would take more than the Bolivian army to get read of Earl. This IS the man that survived a collision with a train.

Keep us posted on his condition. We'll be prayin' down here.

He must be one tough guy, then.

My best wishes go out to him, you, and the rest of your family. May his next phonecall to you find him a little worse for wear but otherwise okay.

Oh, yeah, the stories I could tell. I think, of the classic tales, Dad v. Train is one of the better ones, and honestly, makes the case of Dad and Motorcycle v. Semi seem almost sporting. Much moreso than Dad and Semi v. Rolltop Desk, which was, of course, at 65 mph.... Splinters, anyone?

And many thanks for the wishes, all, muchly appreciated. Will keep y'all posted.

Oh damn.

I hope he recovers well and quickly.

I'll be praying for your father. He IS a tough guy; surely it would take more than a semi to make a lasting impression.

Let me know if I can do anything for you guys.
