Doe-ee Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Bad morning. Wilfinator, Ken W. and Chris all went down to our usual farm to hunt today while Steve and Troy went to another farm. Ken got there early and apparently slipped, fell and broke his femur. He laid there for a while waiting for Wilf to show up. When he did he called out but Wilf thought it was people talking up on the ridge so went to his stand. Little while later Wilf heard another call and this time heard his name. Took another 1/2 hour for the ambulance to get there. So I just spoke with Ken and he's about to go into surgery.

Doe-ee Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Ken's surgery was delayed some, so he's still under the knife. Never good to hurt yourself on a week-end but he's in good hands now. Even though he was only 50 feet away from the farmhouse and not much more from the other guys, when he slipped I think it's a safe bet he won't be out hunting anywhere, anymore without a 2-way or cell. We will pass along your well wishes for him when we're finally allowed to see him. I know he'll appreciate them very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doe-ee Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Update Steve just got back from the hospital and Ken, although still pretty doped up, is relieved that the surgery is over. Steve saw the ex-rays and it looks like he'll be in for rough time. The ball of his femur was broken (where it fits into the hip) and it looked like it was pulled quite a ways out of the socket. The doctor put in 2 screws to hold it together but it looks like he won't be coming home for some time. We'll know more about that in a few days. I hand-wrote everyone's wishes and prayers for Steve to read to him. (no printer at the moment) but he wants to read them himself tomorrow when he's more "with it". I'll give him any new ones that come in. He really appreciates the support everyone's giving him as he's going to need our continued prayers to build him back up. From Ken.......Thank-you all!!
