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...
This just in from DesertCoyote!

My mom, Mrs. SandRat went to visit him this morning and he was sitting in a chair! Yet another milestone in his recovery. They tried to get him started with rehabilitation and found very quickly that he can’t do it like he thought. Maybe tomorrow he’ll be able to get up and around on his own. Once he can do that, he will be discharged and able to go home.
Awesome...ole “Tough-As-Nails” is getting a handle on this
recovery thing.
Just keep truckin’, Sandy! We’re pulling for you as is your
Father in heaven! Prayers that you get to go home very soon!
(((hugs))) <——but gently.....:)
Prayers definitely up.....but hey, SandRat.....dude, stay off of rooftops, Spiderman. Hire that crap out. Pay some kid to do it. You’re worth it.
Prayers continue.
I’ll see yer bttt; and raise you a Bump!
Work hard on the rehab, Sandy, and see if they’ll let you do it in Tucson...better facilities!
Bumping bye and saw your bump. Bump bac’at’cha 8D
Ok sandrat I see they’ve put you to work now. Praying for the swiftest
recovery possible.
Prayers that SandRat will be well enought soon to be back to his ornery self. He is missed on the Arizona Board; everyone sends their prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery. :)
Thanks for the update. Prayers continue...
We miss you Sandy,
Prayers for a speedy recovery.
Update!
Thanks BG!
Will keep him in my prayers.
My sincerest prayers for Sandrat.
#201 has the latest update...
Continuing prayers for you SandRat. Keep moving, it’s the path back.
And (I think) thank-yous beyond repair to Grammie for not responding to my previous post. Somehow, I know she had something up her hand-knitted sleeve. They’re sly, those grammies.
I didn’t DO it.
You have no PROOF!
There are NO witnesses.
I am innocent of all charges, trumped up or not.
That IS my story and I’m stickin’ to it.
Thank you for sharing the good — and continuing to improve — news!
Prayers continue....
I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, there's no way you can prove anything!
I just want to say, before I go to sleep, that if you get SandRat laughing, it’s all your fault.
Did I ever tell you about newly post-surgery Pete-R-Bilt and the dachshund in the life vest? Nearly killed him! He had to leave the house and walk to the end of the drive just to get away from the silliness. Albeit good exercise, he couldn’t breathe... and as we discussed earlier, breathing is highly underrated until you’re having difficulty. Of course, I had to follow Pete out there and make sure he could breathe. Heh, danged near succumbed myself. But that’s what I’m talking about, Grammie. With that, I hope you’ll behave, and SandRat will just get better every day. G’nite now.
oh Geeeeezzzzzzz.....dare I ASK?
