The phone call
Randy went rappelling with his "rappelling family" this weekend. They left on Friday and were due back Saturday night late. Randy texted me to let me know they got there safe and sound. He said he would call me the next day.
Saturday the kids and I were busy cleaning and playing. I kept thinking he should call me but then I would get busy.
The phone rang at 5. It was a stranger. He said, "hello this is Tom. I just had the pleasure of giving your husband a helicopter ride into green river."
me, "crap, what happened?"
him, " laugh, your husband wanted me to call you, I don't usually do this but he said you are the type of person who can handle it."
He then proceeded to tell me how Randy fell while in moab, the doctor who climbs with them said he had two broken ankles. He was at the castle dale hospital. Don't come yet because they will most likely transfer him soon. Plus it's not worth you getting hurt. He or a doctor would call me back. He just wanted me to know that Randy was alive and talking. He kept saying how sorry he was to have to be the one to call me.
