Okay it's my blog and I'll cry if I want to!

So yesterday I was in my kickboxing class, getting my sweat on, and my phone was ringing off the hook! First it was my sister Candee, then it was my sister in law Colleen, then my sister again, then Big J, then a few texts. Okay I'm almost to cool down just a few more minutes....then Big J comes walking into the class. What the, what the??!?! Okay something must be up.

Found out my Dad was injured at work. My Dad is a timber faller and I'm not exactly sure how it all happened but the chainsaw came down on his leg below his knee.

YIKES!
He went to the local hospital in my home town and then taken to another hospital for surgery. My Mom called late last night after the surgery and told me he severed the patella tendon and cut into the bone a bit. (Gives me the willys thinking of it) He stayed the night at the hospital and was given antibiotics in case of infection.

Please pray for my Dad for a speedy and pain free recovery. He'll be in crutches for three months and physical therapy for a good while.

Oh I hope he mends quickly. We had a friend who did the same thing and then a neighbor who had a chainsaw jump back and cut the side of his face...so scary! {{HUGS}} to you...

That was just awefull! I will pray for him.

When I was young, we'd cut our own wood for the fireplace, we'd rent a machine that automaticly cut the wood, you just had to hold the sides of the wood, I heard a scream, the next thing I saw was my neighbors hand cut in half. Sorry just reminded me of it!

Sorry.... Give him a bloggy hug for me.

Oh my, that's a scary job. I pray that your dad will recover quickly and pray that he doesn't let it get him down ! I know some men will get down easily if they can't move around too much !
