Y<\/span>ou may have noticed that we haven’t had a “Camino Photo of the Day” in the past few days. There’s a story about that.<\/p>\n

I was transported by ambulance to St Joseph hospital with symptoms of shock and possible concussion. I was dizzy and nauseated and had trouble thinking straight. No broken bones, no bleeding. Praise God for that! My Guardian Angel was clearly working overtime. <\/p>\n

After eight or so hours in hospital, I was released with a diagnosis of mild concussion, a neck contusion, and assorted sprained ligaments. Although my body felt like a giant bruise, there was actually very little bruising and only one little scrape near my elbow where the car hit me.<\/p>\n

Hopefully I’ll get back to posting soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
