Got to speak with surgeon finally. He'll be getting a plate, screws and rod.

We are sitting in the hospital waiting for Craig to go to surgery. He fell last night and ended up with multiple breaks both bones right lower leg several inches above his ankle.

Yikes! Please tell him we're all asking after him and wishing him well. He may have to lower his grills so he can manage them sitting down for a while.

Seriously, though, tell him I hope he's feeling better as soon as possible.

Also, when you can, please let us know how CraigC is doing, medtran49. Thanks.

He's back in room finally, took a lot longer than doc estimated. Didn't get to talk to doc after surgery due to miscommunication on where I would be. Hopefully tomorrow morning. He's pretty out of it between anesthesia and Dilaudid.

No, odd fall. When I got to him, his right heel was almost in his crotch and craig has never been that flexible, though I was in my younger years.

Please send him best wishes for a speedy recovery! Also, thinking of you Medtran49, never easy when a loved one is injured.

That will make going through TSA interesting. But, as long as he can walk on that leg, a little inconvenience at the airport is tolerable.

This just in from Texas...

(CNN) A campaign bus for Joe Biden traveling Friday from San Antonio to Austin, Texas, was surrounded by multiple vehicles with Trump signs that attempted to slow down the bus and run it off the road, a Biden campaign official tells CNN.
According to a source familiar with the incident, the vehicles were a "Trump Train group." These groups are known in parts of the state and organize events that involve their cars with flags and Trump paraphernalia and drive around to show support for the President. The group began yelling profanities and obscenities and then blockaded the entire Biden entourage.
At one point they slowed the tour bus to roughly 20 mph on Interstate 35, the campaign official said. The vehicles slowed down to try to stop the bus in the middle of the highway. The source said there were nearly 100 vehicles around the campaign bus. Biden staffers were rattled by the event, the source said, though no one was hurt.
Neither Biden nor his running mate, California Sen. Kamala Harris, were on the bus.
Staffers on the bus called 911, which eventually led to local law enforcement assisting the bus to its destination. The Biden campaign, out of what was described as an abundance of caution, ended up canceling an event scheduled for later that day in Austin, the aide said.
Texas State Rep. Rafael Anchía told CNN's Ed Lavandera that Wendy Davis was on the bus. Davis is a former state senator who is challenging Rep. Chip Roy for the Texas Hill Country area congressional seat.
