    just got back talked to orthopedic surgeons and his Co workers.. 30 feet installing rubber membrane on railing reached for utility knife went over head first...

    somehow (thanking lord here) landed on his feet. both ankle broken.. both Achilles ruptured.. knee drove utility knife into jaw... lookin at a year of recovery

    surgeon says 10 days to surgery so a swelling goes down and little pieces start to come together then plates screws you know the good stuff..
    he's already Goin stir crazy.. keep him in thoughts and prayers thanks

    he better find something to keep his hands and mind busy. Can work find a desk job for him or something he can do from home on the computer. Most all of us can be retrained to something else.

    Oh no. Prayers for sure. He will certainly be slowed down for quite some time. Let us just pray they can fix him up.
