Betty Left in Stitches

6:16 PM 09/08/08 - Betty had an accident while riding at White Rock last night. She slid on a very tricky corner when the road was just starting to get wet and sliced her head open, just below the eyebrow. It was a blood everywhere kind of thing.

6:18 PM - Betty called, "Where are you? I just went down. I'm bleeding a lot from my head."

6:20 PM - She went to a house and the homeowner, Brock, helped her out while I drove down there. He’s a RN at Parkland and took great care of her until I was able to get there.

7:22 PM - I picked up Betty and took her to a small hospital by the lake. It was looking like a very long wait and her Scooby was parked at the lake. Not wanting to have the car broken into...
