Happy Anniversary

It is late night of July 24.
We are on are way to make an early delivery in Bensenville IL .

I pull over in Clearwater MN ., for coffee and do my safeties check on the truck. As I 'm cleaning off the bugs, I notice that Joy has awaken after being asleep for about 5 hours. I say "Hey! You got to go pee?" she looks at me dazed and confused. I tell her were we are and do you want me to escort you to the bathroom. She wobbles her head back and forth no, OK!

I was walking around the truck, checking the tiers and overall appearance of the tractor and trailer. I came around the back side of the trailer and starter my inspection of the passenger's side trailer tiers. As I leaned into the inside of the wheel well I herd a muffled "Brrreeetttt!" I shot a look to that direction, and what I saw sent me into panic mode. Joys crumpled motionless body laid at the foot of the passenger side fuel tank. I ran to her aid, my mind went through a hundred scenarios of medical aid. I crouched to her side; she looked up at me, to my relief. ”Are you OK!!?" I asked. " I have got to go pee!" I lifted her into my arms and took her into the truck stop. After potty, the staff got her some water and Advil. We got her shoe off and inspected the swollen foot. Ouch!

I called Gordon Trucking and explained the situation. I was given instruction to get her to a clinic to be checked out, after the morning delivery that is. Do they have truck parking, yes... OK.. So we got over to the doctors office check in desk, and said that are company made an appointment for us. She looked at her computer monitor, and said "ah yes, can you pee now?" oh, drug test. OK, after that we got a small walking splint and we were set off to make are next delivery.

This evening we are sitting in Jackson TN. Got showered and fed. I was making my way through all of the e-mail junk and got to one that said Happy Anniversary one. I looked over at my wife and said "What is today?" She said Thursday, the 26Th...
I'm sure you can imagine the rest.
