Speaking of Feet (who's got the picture?)

Mike O’Brien vs. the Tahoe Deck

The deck was four stories up, overlooking the sunset that just finished on Lake Tahoe. As the sun sets and it gets dark, how could anyone resist doing a little dance? Michael couldn’t. It was a cute little dance that Michael accompanied with a cute little song. Unfortunately the exact words are lost in the pines. But it went something like this:

When you’re in Tahoe
And you feel the beat,
You do a little dance,
Even better with bare feet.

If you start to hop around,
And think you’re dancing really good,
It’s not just bad grammer,
Your foot is full of wood!

Mike O’Brien vs. the Emergency Foot Repair Team

Anne got the tweezers from her trusty Swiss Army Knife. JP went to look for a bullet for Michel to bite. Will ran to the fully stocked, with San Francisco liquor, bar. Alyssa and Jen got Michael to lie on the kitchen floor. Nana and Lisa and the grandkids kept sleeping. Will came back with a drink. Hans and Chris looked with amazement at the 18 foot splinter sunk 12 meters into Michael’s foot. Everyone tried to stop laughing and take it seriously. Will offered the drink to disinfect the foot or calm Michael, which ever was needed more.

The splinter came out (who has the picture?) but apparently there was a follow-up visit to the doctor because it got infected.

Addendum:

But there is more about feet. There was also a running episode where a piece of glass was stuck in his foot. The doc tried to see it with ultrasound, but couldn’t. In the end it came out.

And see Jen’s post for the wedding story...

The lesson, after 65 years, is watch your feet!
