Yes let’s hope so. This is a very serious injury.

I have not heard any further details about how he fell. I heard someone say he fell in the shower. I heard someone speculate that perhaps some other medical condition caused him to lose balance and fall.

But whatever the case lets hope for the best. He’s 76 years old. I hope and pray we have him for many more years.

The other problem with falls is sharp corners on nightstands, tables, etc. My mom had a short fall into the corner of a night stand; it broke 7 ribs in 11 places, she died six weeks later.

I had not thought of that. It still bugs me.

All the reasons I give myself for not showering,
