Blaze left the hospital with his head lowered and his heart heavy after receiving the disheartening report of his foolishness.
Aside from Henry, who was currently receiving treatment for his partly bruised face, the senator's case was more serious.
Although the fall wasn't deemed to be serious enough to cause a dislocation of the hip joint, it so happened that the senator had once had a hip replacement surgery due to rheumatoid arthritis, some years back.
Consequently, during the fall, the senator's hip ball joint came out of its socket again. But this time around, it was accompanied by a minor fracture.
Due to the severity of the injury and to prevent other complications, the senator was taken for an immediate surgical procedure before he was certified out of danger.
Sadly, for the next couple of months, he won't be able to walk again except with the aid of a wheelchair or crutches.
