Prayers for my Grandpa

[The_Duck]

Well, my grandpa has a hard time remembering that he is an older person. He was climbing the ladder to his hunting blind and it gave way, dropping him 12 feet to the ground. Last my dad told me, grandpa is in the hospital and, obviously, a lot of pain. Please pray for a swift and complete recovery. Thanks everyone.

Hope he has a fast speedy recovery! He'll be in my thoughts.

Prayers on the way from me too.

That's one of the drawbacks about getting older, having to learn you just can't do everything you used to. Believe me I know.

(((HUGS))) for you and your grandpa.

Alright, I got a little more of the story from my mom.

Aparently, he was climbing the ladder, CARRYING a brand new front for the stand. The ladder swayed and he fell on his head and the hip he had replaced a few years back. He laid on the ground for a few minutes, got up, and took the thing back up there and nailed it on! Only THEN did he come over to our house and tell me dad what happened.

He's home now, with some pain meds. It hurts to move, which is to be expected. He's got a small fracture in his back and he's on strict intstuctions to lay low for a while. He's got to go back to the doctor in a few days, I think. Thank you all for your prayers and I'll keep you updated.

You certainly come from a very STRONG fiber!!!!! Your Grandfather is steadfast and determined to reach a goal!!!! He will do just fine!!!! but, If he were my Father, I'd keep an eye on him!!!! ( wow, what a guy!!!)


Thank-You for that up-date!!!!
