Bowtech_archer07 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I just found out that a family friend and the mayor of our town was in a horrible accident yesterday while working at an elevator. He was unhooking something on a hydrostatic tractor and the operator accidentally hit the reverse pedal and pinned him between the implement and the tractor. He has broken fibula in both both legs. Currently he is in the hospital with rods in them while they wait for the swelling to go down so they can do surgery. From what Dad has told me, he's stable as of right now. Please send out thoughts and prayers to him and his family, they need all they can get right now.... I will update everyone as I find out more...

Bowtech_archer07 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Just heard from dad again. The fibula are completely crushed just below the knee. The swelling is still unbelievable and they are thinking about sending him home until the swelling goes down so they can do surgery. They may also have to do knee replacements. Just have to wait and see what happens. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers everyone.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
