Yesterday afternoon I spoke to Ken Rodd.
A couple of days ago he had an accident while he was cooking wing outside on his stove. His stove was accidentally hit and the pan started to fall. He tried to catch it and keep it on the stove. As he did, the hot grease poured on to his hands causing sevre burning of the palms of both hands. One of the observers went into the Office and called 911. He was taken to the hospital where they treated the burns. He doesn't remember much of what happened. They did release him with pain medication and some other medication. He has to return to the Wound Center every couple of days where they debred (remove the skin) and rerap it. He is still in a lot of pain and is not able to do much. They will have to continue to reevalutate his hands and the skin. It was in good spirits, but said he wouldn't be capable of doing much for quite a while. He has learned to play solitare on his computer. He can do very little. He told me it would be a while before he would be cooking Chili again.
