The thing that tipped off my parents was that JD couldn't write a check.
Several doctor visits led us to the problem--subdural hematomas, or blood clots that were putting pressure on his brain. Brain surgery was scheduled immediately.
I had known his neurosurgeon in high school, and while it didn't inspire confidence that the former football player had been known as "Bimbo," my dad had worked with his mother Agnes at the hospital for years, and I knew that chances were good that he had inherited her medical talents.
Dr. White operated, the blood clots were removed, and JD recovered. And not long after, I found the perfect postcard...
