Accident

Okay guys, I don't know how much me and Qutio are going to be here these next couple of weeks.. My dad is in the hospital. Well, there's kind of a story behind it.

Me, mom, Katie, and my brothers were at this old-fashioned rendezvous thing (tepees, horses, black powder shooting, the works), when I uh.. ripped the ass of my pants on a four-wheeler o.o" So I uh, had to go home to get new jeans ^^" Down where we were, there is NO cell phone service btw.

Anyway, I got home, changed my jeans, and decided I was going to get my horse and take him with me. So I hooked up the horse trailer (you have to be good backing up to do that o.o), saddled my horse, and I texted my dad to ask him a question about the trailer. It couldn't have been 2 minutes later while I was loading my horse that my phone rings. Of course, I answer. It's my grandpa. Here's what I hear, "Jaime, your dad fell off the roof."

I think my eyes got as big as my hands. I asked him how bad is it, and all he says is, "It's bad." OH GOD. I'm thinking I have a paralyzed father now so I am freaking out and about ready to bawl, so I tear the saddle off of my horse and turn him loose in the pen again, unhook the trailer right where it was and flew the entire way back to the rendezvous to get my mom. About half way there, I get another call explaining that it's his feet and they think he broke both of them.

Later we found out that he shattered one ankle and cracked the other but he can't walk for 3 months and won't be able to go back to work for 6 months so yeah -.- we are a little worried about payments right now.

I won't be around much for a couple of weeks because I have to help wheelchair-proof my house, and today we are going to visit him in the hospital. Aint this a crappy way to have a weekend? And one before homecoming? xD Even my dad is pissed cuz he won't be able to watch me and Katie kick Creek Valley's ass in volleyball on Friday. Oh well, can't help it. He was very lucky, he was only inches from landing on a hydrant.

Okay more news. His left ankle is cracked, but it shot a bone upward that has to be fixed through surgery, but his right ankle is pretty much destroyed on the inside. The hospital he is staying at now isn't good enough to fix his right ankle, so he may be transferred 300 miles away to Omaha for that surgery. x.x Oh goodie.
