Please pray for Freeper SandRat who took a fall from his roof today.
FR "DesertCoyote" posted this on the Canteen thread tonight...
I just wanted to let you guys know that SandRat is in the hospital. He fell off the roof changing out the pads in the swamp cooler and lost his footing and fell about 4-5 feet. Apparently he was unconscious for a while and when he woke up, he drove himself to the hospital. He has 8 broken ribs and a concussion. He is being transferred up to University Medical Center in Tucson for a Neurology evaluation. Will keep you guys posted since this is a specific request from Sandrat.
Thank you everyone...
Prayers up

Sandrat is John Wayne! Drove himself to the hospital wit 8 broken ribs and a concussion? What did he say when he got there - “It’s just a flesh wound”?
Holey moley! Prayers!
SandRat is one of my favorite freepers. He posts great stories that don't get much lame-stream media attention.
And he's hurt badly from a fall from 4 or 5 feet.
Dec 8, 2009. I fell 5 feet onto a rock. I lost a kidney and a spleen, broke a vertebrae and three ribs and spent 2 weeks in ICU. Family dusted off my coffin because the docs told them I might not make it. (Family did not put the coffin back up on the rack, family... what can you say?)
As we freepers get older, FALLS CAN KILL. If you climb, have a safety person on the ground watching to call 9-11. Most of us aren't 18 and unbreakable anymore. We don't bounce. We break.
So have someone there to help pick up the pieces.
Buddy system for marginal activities, and double-check safties.
