By the Way…

Occasionally, my husband uses this phrase to notify me that important information is about to be communicated. Tonight, that information sounded something like this:

I went to the hospital in an ambulance this afternoon. They gave me an EKG to make sure I was ok.

Well, that was certainly not what I expected to hear; but he was calm so I figured I didn’t need to worry. Situation report: apparently, while he was working with some equipment in the shipyard (equipment that was supposed to be powered down), he got a 60-volt shock. Because the incident occurred in a regulated work environment, procedures were invoked to document the event and to assess the health of all involved. Translation of this latter statement: hubby was admitted to the hospital, evaluated, and then discharged.

And I thought my Wednesday was crazy.
