Gents, i’m not one to ask but I feel I need to. Gonna need some prayers.

My buddy i’ve known since high school had a mishap with a tree last night. He is a home improvement contractor and does firewood on the side. He was working on a good sized maple with a broken main leg that was still attached and resting against the ground. He cut it, the main broke free and hit him and then the trunk fell onto the downed branch and bounced up and hit him again. As of now he is in ICU awaiting surgery.

Fractured skull, broken facial bones, his nose is basically hanging on by a little bit around his nostrils, left eye out of socket, broken jaw, 2 broken vertebra in his neck, dislocated shoulder, broken clavicle, broken scapula, 6 broken ribs.

He got hit, picked up his saws, climbed into his truck, drove down to the house, parked the truck and walked inside and sat down in a chair. He had no idea how bad off he was. One TOUGH bastid.

I’ve been here since early cleaning up all the blood off the porch, the inside/outside of his truck and the equipment so the kids wouldn’t see it all.

He is the sole earner in his household with 3 kids (2 girls and a boy) and no telling how long he will be out of work. Not asking for money, just some thoughts and prayers.

Can't like this at all. Good on you Curt for trying to lighten the load around that house.

The best vibes I can send are headed George's way.

More thoughts and prayers from GA.
You never know when a damn tree is gonna beat you into the ground. Ive had some that looked simple turn bad real quick.

Hoping he gets through this ok and gets full function back of everything. Hope no vision loss.

Y'all be careful.

The best vibes I can send are headed George's way.

Things aren’t looking too good. The docs just intubated him and put him on a ventilator. They can’t start on surgery until he gets a Covid test. They have a separate operating room for anyone who tests positive and won@5 commingle the positive with the non-positive patients.

Between the trees trying to kill people, and work wearing us down, we all need some prayers.

Help and health for all who need it.

@Mastermind seems like the whole damn world needs to spend an afternoon in a sweat lodge.
Agree. Dealership tried to bait and switch me on the demo machine. Then tried to get me to buy new. That *s-word don't fly with me. More bummed than pissed.
