Message: [QUOTE="Spaceman213J, post: 3663573, member: 6477"] Friday, after working from home, my brother visited with his family, my sister came with her grandkids, and my niece and her boyfriend all came down to celebrate my mom's birthday early. It is Wednesday, September 2nd. It was a great get together. We all had a lot of fun in the pool and and it went very well. Then, I was bummed to hear about Chadwick Boseman passing away, which got me thinking about Cliff. Then last night at 4:55 I was inside and my dad came running to the door and said call 9-1-1 because your mom just tripped and broke her leg. I won't get into the gory details, but it was a compound fracture of both the tibia and fibula, with a ankle dislocation. The doctor, who is a seasoned orthopedic surgeon who usually deals with sports injuries, said it was the worst break he's ever seen. He cleaned it and barring infection, will perform the surgery in the next few weeks. Please, just pray she doesn't get an infection. I know deaths are worse, but when your close to someone, especially a parent, well I'm still in kind of shock. I think seeing a parent in pain like that just shakes you to the core. All their lives they have been the one who comforted you and to see them in pain just hits you in a different way. [/QUOTE]
