he fell--all his weight on his left heel when he landed. and he weighs about 315....he laid there for a second or two, and i asked if he was ok--i was worried about his back. he said i think i broke my ankle.

A guy I work with had this exact injury about 5 months ago. Fell off the roof at work about a 15 foot fall. Fire Engine came and got him off the 2nd roof. He's back to walking and will back to work before the end of June. He's about 240 lbs and 6'3'' he's also 47 years old. Doctor said he's glad he didn't break his hip or pelvis in the fall. Tell your man that he'll be ok in the long run medicine has come a long way the last few years. Nothing against your looks but tell him to think about all of them young and sweet nurses he'll be around in re-hab. ha ha ha

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. That's a tough, nagging injury.

Well, at least now you two know a bit more detail what you are facing That's tough. I'll be sending good thoughts your way.

Tell Tony that, after he recovers, he has to get that titanium heel through airport security, so he, too, can come with you and the kids to see Sumwon run

Nice kids. You and T. must have done something right

thanks pillow. thanks to all of you.

doc said the biggest deal is infection, so he'll be on antibiotics a few days before surgery, and then for however long after.

bob has his own ortho hospital in hot springs, he and two partners. tony will stay 48 hours after surgery and then come home.

damn, six months...the doc yesterday said worst case, six months. we're hoping for half that--but then, he didn't fall that far either!

tony is in really good hands, bobby has been a surgeon for 27 or so years. best in the state, thank god he's a friend we could call!


thanks everyone for your well-wishes, we appreciate it a lot.
