Get well soon, Clark.

Marion's 75 year old father is in the hospital after he had a fall last night.

Those of you who know Clark know that he is not your typical septegenerian. He works 14+ hours every day at his family-owned health club and doesn't show any signs of slowing any time soon. He had drained their junior-olympic-sized pool to paint it and at 9:30 last night he was inside the pool walking down the slope from the shallow end to the deep end to help the painter he had hired. He didn't realize that the painter had already painted the sloping bottom of the pool and he slipped on the slick concrete, hitting his head hard and knocking himself unconscious for a few minutes.

To compound matters, there was no one else nearby and the painter, not wanting to leave the knocked-out Clark alone in the pool, frantically yelled for help for about 5 minutes until a neighbor heard the commotion and knocked on Clark's front door, alerting Ingrid who was in her office doing paperwork. An ambulance arrived later and took Clark to Sutter Memorial Hospital in Antioch where he seems to be doing fine.

Marion spoke to him this morning and he seems his old self, but is complaining of pain when he tries to stand. We're afraid he may have a hairline fracture of his pelvis or hip and we are waiting for the doctor to order X-Rays to check it out.

We'll let you know further information as we hear it ourselves.
