On the first Saturday of October, I was at Fitger’s Bookstore. As typical, I arrived an hour early to get everything set up. I made one last trip to the vehicle to bring in a poster. I bent down by the side of my SUV to pick it up and unbeknownst to me, the tailgate started dropping down. When I glanced up the corner cut into my forehead tearing out a chunk. I’ve been on a blood thinner, since my heart attack two years ago, so blood poured down my face. I remembered on the way in that there was an Essentia Clinic, right across the street from Fitger’s so I jogged over. Unfortunately, the street level clinic is closed on weekends. The hospital is on top of the hill, so I jogged up 8 flights of stairs, holding bloody Kleenexes to my forehead. The Essentia Hospital staff were amazing. They quickly realized it couldn’t be stitched so they created an antibiotic patch to cover the wound. They carefully cleaned the blood off my face so I could return and sign books. The staff were amazing, and I am thankful! It’s a reminder that there are some great professionals out there and I am grateful! After the events outlined below I’m taking a break to finish my next book. Thanks for listening! Frank Upcoming events:
