It pours.
My dad fell out of a tree today and broke his ankle. A catastrophic break. What was he doing in a tree, you ask? Hell if I know. Trying to cut a branch that wouldn't have even fallen in his yard. He crawled on his hands and knees from the bottom of the lot, up 4 stairs into the house and called my mom.
In the midst of IVF and him having just retired - literally, less than 3 weeks ago - it's a lot for one family to handle.
I am so thankful that it was just his ankle - and not his neck. But, at the same time, since his surgery in March, it's been a steady realization that my Dad is no longer 40 and as able bodied as his younger self. It's scary...and it makes me sad.

:-( I'm sorry.
...healing thoughts for you Dad.
:( Sorry about your dad, but I am also glad that it was only his ankle. (*hugs*)
I am so sorry to hear that...scary!
I know what you mean...it makes me sad to know that my dad can't do everything he used to do either, but sometimes I have to appreciate the fact that he is not always on the go and takes more time to sit and talk.
I hope the ankle heals quickly and your dad is back on his feet (but not in a tree) real soon!
Thinking about you and your family during this time. I know the stress that family matters can bring. We are on our 3rd full IVF attempt. I just started Lupron shots with a new clinic and RE. Praying this is the new instrument God uses to bring us a miracle!
Sorry to hear about your dad. Hope he gets better soon.
You take care too...
I hope he's able to heal quickly. I'm glad he didn't break anything worse.
I'm sorry, I hope he recovers quickly. I know what you're saying about aging. My dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease several years ago. It’s really hard knowing that each year that goes by he will get worse and worse. I know if we are able to have a child that it will be bitter sweet because they will never know their Grandpa like I knew him as a dad.
I’ll be thinking about you and your family. *hugs*
Oh No...:o(
I hope your dad is okay and recovering well.
All the best to you and your family.
