[nrv-hams] Carter N3AO Concussion

[Russ Abbey]

Well Carter?  I am certainly glad you were able to get to the phone!  You
might want to do what I do now, carry my cell and an HT with me whenever I
leave the house!  That way if I fall and can't get to my chair or into the
house I can always call 911.
If you need anything, let me know or one of us know and we will get it to
you or take you to the doctor or whatever!  I mean this now, I know what
you are going through.  I'm glad Kay got home OK, tell I said hi.
