Monday around 3pm ish Tres and his Dad (Craig) were at the top of 12ft ladders on each side of a sign doing an install. Dad fell as his ladder slipped out from under him. My cousin Donnie was on the 911 call and attended to Dad. ( falls of 10 feet and greater are very serious.)
He broke his wrist, radius, ulna and shattered his elbow.
And got a deep gash which needed 10 stitches inside then outside, YIKES!
He got out of Surgery this morning. He has 8 screws and his elbow is wired in a 90 degree angle. We are still unsure if he will ever be able to straighten his arm or use it in some capacity. He is in a lot of pain but happy to be home and out of those hospital beds.
The kids made him get well cards. I will attest to how tough he is though, remember he's the one who took a picture on the job site of a huge nail sticking out of his arm...
And smiling!!
