today my son was at work and fell off of a 30ft ladder that was on 15ft of scaffling so he fell 40some ft. he broke both wrist, and both ankles, his heel is shattered and they are talking that he might lose his foot (the one that was almost backwards when he was born, bad club). he is in surgery right now and i am waiting here while his mother and wife are at the hospital. i am going nuts and trying to keep my mind occupied but this has been tough. it wasnt that long ago my youngest daughter was in a bad bike accident broken neck and collar bones, 2 weeks ago my wife was laid off after 10and 1/2yrs and now this W.T.F.???? my son is very active (sports and other outdoor activities with the kids), he is a painter that does very high end work faux,and venetion plaster type stuff. there is only him and his buddy that make up their co. so of course there is no workers comp and of course because he has 3 daughters and a wife that dont work there is no insurance. i am not looking for sympathy just needed to tell somebody and you people are my extended family so who better. this just sitting here by the phone waiting is driveing me nuts but i have to be here now for other reasons and being that his mother is there tonight and i was there earlier there really isnt a need for me to be there now. i dont know how i am gonna be able to handle this if any of the senarios in my head come to be. to tell you the truth i am usually pretty calm and cool in most bad situations but this has me by the butt.
