you guys are so kind and wonderful

he is surgery this morning.. we had trouble locating him last night because of a name mix up but we finally found him... weren't able to talk to him bc he was heavily sedated. They said they were giving him good pain control. My mom and sister are on their way to the city today, it was too dangerous to go yesterday - snow storm. i dont' know how the ambulance made it but they did. Maybe they have better tires or chains or something.

i won't know anything now until tonight prolly... cant reach mom by cell while shes in the hospital bldg.

what makes me worry is his ability after this... if he loses mobility it will killl him, he'll die inside. He likes to bicycle and walk a lot. He's always on the move. Likes spending time in the woods and stuff.

perna, he is 72. i dont think its osteo or they wouldn't consider hip replacement... which they have talked about. i hope for that really bc he would regain mobility and sooner.

i feel sick thinking about his accident... he was on his way to church, stopped to go filll their bird feeders and took a fal on ice... no one knew he was hurt.. mom thought he had left for church. He was laying outside in a snow storm, helpless. It just kills me... makes me cry. He could have died from shock.

spent all day yesterday sobbing and pacing. called T and left a message.. i see him in a couple of hours.

thank you all so much for caring... please keep the vigil for now.. until i know he's ok... hoping he will not be limited long term.
