Happy 4th of July!


Have a safe and happy 4th! Happy Birthday to one of my nieces and one of my sisters.

I don't know if we will make it to the fireworks today or not - down to a light rain with temps at 68 degrees. If the rain stops and we do make it, we will stay in the car to watch them so I don't have to fuss with the scooter and all.

Please please be safe around fireworks. I remember being an ER nurse on the 4th. The most common fireworks injuries involve the hands, fingers, eyes, head, and face. Some of these injuries are severe, resulting in permanent health problems such as missing fingers and limbs and vision loss. I would post pictures but would gross too many of you out.
