Not so much sad as worried, my son was in an auto accident overnight. I'm getting cleaned up to go to St David's in Austin where, as of 0600, he was in trauma surgery.
What made me sad today... (4 Viewers)

Damn, Thump. Didn't he just get back from Gitmo? Keeping your son (and you) in our prayers.
My thoughts are with you and your family. Keep us posted.
Thinking of you guys today.

Realising my dad's not got a lot of time left. We're waiting for my sisters to arrive- I suspect he's hanging on for their sakes.
My thoughts are with you and your family as well.
Your in my thoughts too my friend

I thought he was already in surgery, but I'd misunderstood. He's getting ready to go in now. One finger needs reattaching, and right ulna needs some bolts. Compound broken arm with a partial avulsion, one mostly-amputated finger, it could have been much, much worse. I'm very grateful, the Universe could have made this a much sadder day.
As always, y'all's support is deeply appreciated.
buffnut453 -- yep, he just got back.

That's tough Thump, but I'm glad he should pull thru. Reminds me of what I did on my last 30 day leave from the USN, I wasn't driving but the accedent messed me up pretty bad with a neck injury the USN didn't want to take resposibilty for so they offered my an early out after 38 months of a 48 stint.
My thoughts are with you and your son, I hope he pulls thru with no issues.

We're home. Good prognosis for a full recovery. He's loaded like a freight train, and once the shot wears off we'll be hoping the oxy can keep up with the job. But he's home and walking and now on the road to recovery. We're a lucky family, it could have been so much worse.
Thank everyone here for the kind words.
Thats good to hear. Take care of him.

Thumb is good news. Accidents, they can be a worry.
Meanwhile I have to watch my lovely wife do all the work around the house,
inside and out. Age........... and physical limitations suck!

Great news! Please pass on our best wishes for a rapid and full recovery.
I'm thrilled at this outcome. It could've been a LOT worse.
