So while we wait for Ellen and/or the IT guys at our school to figure out why our video won't upload I figured I should tell you about David. (remember he's the tall one from North Dakota who talks funny) While Ellen and I enjoyed a much needed and much deserved 16 hour sleep in on Friday, David, Conner and 48 other students from our school went on a small yacht tour of the Italian Archipelagos. They went cliff diving, island hopping and enjoyed seafood while Ellen and I slept, did laundry, and enjoyed some Heinz 57 on our burgers and chicken tenders at the Hard Rock. (we were missing protein and fried foods- please no jabs!)
Notice the name of the chicken tenders. How could we not get them?
Yes! Regular tasting ketchup!
During our rather delectable dinner, we receive a text message from our pal David.
David: Could you make me soup, sometime?
Us {rather bewildered}: Um, sure, any particular reason?
David: .... I might've had an incident with a boulder today.
Us {slowly going into mom mode}: Incident? What did you do?
David: Tell you about it when I get back.
We (getting slightly more panicked at this point) then call David to hear a fun story of a trip in an ambulance to the ER filled with Italian nurses and a Russian doctor who kept joking about cutting his leg off.
Come Saturday we zoomed over to the boys to make soup (fully embracing mom mode at this point) and see if this injury was really as "gnarly" as people (Candace) made it sound.
It was worse.
While Ellen squeezed her eyes shut and turned aside, my hands got covered in red iodine as I changed David's bandages. However we got to take some memorable photos and videos (yeah, we'll see if the video of poor David hobbling through Florence ever makes it up here) and David has a nice little souvenir scar to always remind him of his time in Italy.
Bloody hand, soooo attractive right?
The red is the iodine not the blood, so don't panic too much.
His lovely "covered in stitches and still oozing blood" leg.
