Hi G, I went down to the shop this PM to take pictures for you and see if I could get the loco put together. I was alone in the shop when I dropped a part. I leaned over to pick it up and the rolling chair tipped and I fell over and banged my head on a work table leg. Spots of blood everywhere. Luckily my son-in-law had left a work towel on the table to use as a compress. After I found I wasn't going to pass out I got up and went to the phone and called 911. Responder stayed on line with me till the ambulance got there. I had a goose egg over two inches long and a cut about an inch long. I got them to take me home to tell my wife (She doesn't use the phone anymore due to short term memory loss). Called my Pastor who was already at the hospital. She said she'd meet me at the ER. Got there, had a DR. and staff surrounding me. Got four staples in the cut to close it. Got a CatScan and chest Xray. Everything checked out OK, but the Doc cautioned me about weird stuff might show up, up to three weeks after incident due to my being on Plavix and asperin for blood thinner. 

So, I'll get you pictures ASAP. What a way to spend a Wed. afternoon. I did notice a new poster on the wall. It simply says "how long" each test should take in the ER. What a good idea for those waiting with kids and all the stress a wait in the ER can entail. The wait won't be any shorter but at least you'll know.
