My 70 year old father fell off the top of a 32ft ladder last night. So far he has 3 broken ribs, broken coller bone, 3 cracked vertebrae, minor concussion, and minor internal bleeding. Couple of stitches too.
It's my dad. I shouldn't be seeing him like this.
Pray for him or do whatever you do. I ain't ready for this.
He should be going in to surgery later today. Family been at the hospital most of the night.
Sounds like he's already had the best of luck by surviving that fall at his age. So I will wish him the best of medical science, as well. My thoughts are with your family.
Done.
My prayers are with you and your dad. Good luck and God bless.
Will do! Sounds like a strong man to be in that condition after that fall.
Done.
Done. Hope everything turns out ok.
Done.
I hope everything turns out well. It does sound like he's been pretty lucky, that's a heckuva fall man.
That's one heck of a fall. I'll keep him in my mind.
Yikes. At work, I am on the receiving end of 911 calls. We consider any fall over six feet to be major. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.
hope he heals well.
In reply to Dusterbd13:
Done! Hope he recovers quickly and completely.
Thoughts sent.
speedy recovery, that's a heck of a fall.
berkeley! Wishing him a speedy recovery. That is a serious fall.
Best of luck for a speedy recovery. Its hard seeing our Dads like this. They were there for us, sometimes its our turn to be there for them, and that isn't an easy role reversal.
He sounds like a tough guy; I wish you guys the best.
Done.
Best wishes. That's quite a plummet.
Wow. He's a tough bugger to be able to complain about a fall like that. I'll be thinking about him and wishing for a simple surgery.
Got in a fight with the earth and won, sounds like to me. When he's done at the hospital you two should go back and see if the ground needs any help/attention.
He's gotta be one tough puppy, he'll pull through. Till then, my thoughts are with ya.
Take care of him. I too have a 70 yr old father that attracts these sorts of issues and it always freaks me out.
