Today I learned that my dear brother in law felt from 6 meter height down with his back on a rock. Now he's in hospital, fighting for his life. My sis and his 2 year old son are emotionally destroyed, like the rest of the family.

 

You never know what **** can happen to you, but it always happens when it is least expected.

 

This sucks. :skeptical:

You have my sympathies, Morgy.

 

Sometimes life has us stuck between a rock and a hard place. It's almost like one can't catch a break. You think everything's arlight, and then *BAM* life hits you stone-cold in the face. :skeptical:

Oh man, that is just a whole bundle of suck. My sympathies go out to him and his family. I hope he makes it through without permanent damage.

You have my sympathies as well. :(

 

Have faith, it might yet turn out well.

Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life

Okay, so his spine is broken, and he also got a hematoma on his lungs. But his condition now is stable (phew). I'll pray for him, even if I'm not the religious type.

Atleast he's not dead.

Glad to hear he is stable. My thoughts are with you.

An enormous icicle dropped right near me yesterday and would have impaled me but for luck. The line between life and death is flimsy indeed. Rotten luck about your brother in law.

Na na  na na  na na  ...

greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER.

That is all.

A couple of people have actually been hit by icicles around here this winter.

You have my sympathies, I hope your brother in law has a speedy recovery.

Thanks for all the condolences.

 

He's now sleeping like a baby (under morphine).

Any idea if he'll be able to walk?

I kind of sympathise. I mean, you must be feeling terrible. However, I would tentaively suggest that life in general does not suck. Life in its natural form ****ing rocks. I say that despite all the crap which has happened to me recently, and the fact that I'm sitting here having just washed out of training after busting my back quite badly and my life plan being shot to ****. I say this mainly because I was out on ptrol last night, freezing my nuts of, hurting all over from being beasted about the place. it was -5 degrees C, and we were sleeping in the open. Then it began to rain, and I got soaked. But i looked up at the stars and I thought 'My God, I ****ing love being alive.'

tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

i feel for ya ... best of luck to your B-in-law .

 

I lost my sister the day after thanksgiving to cancer

one of my brothers suffered a major heart-attack just before x-mas (doing better but still high risk after surgery)

and another brother almost died just after new years ... kidneys started shutting down, high fever, fell broke several ribs , just a bunch of different problems (doing better now)

 

and most recent yet another brother of mine was just in the hospital for pneumonia and found he has several spots on his lymph nodes (probably cancer) more test are being done

 

it's been a horrible time for my whole family

best of luck to your family. update us on his condition whenever you can!

I wish him a fast recovery and hope for the best.

Don't lose hope.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

 

*If you can't tell, it's you. ;)

To go with my favourite quote when life feels rather crappy..

 

"You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be so much worse if life *were* fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe."

Sending him mega rays of healing:

pew-pew

==============================>>>>>>>>

OMG, I'm so very, very sorry that this has happened to your family. My best wishes for his full recovery from this terrible accident.

in the past 6 months or so, i know 2 people that have broken their backs

 

considering the grave nature of the injury i'm astounded that they have both pulled through remarkably well, with no major permanent problems

 

i can only hope your brother in law brings that up to 3 lucky souls

when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!

Okay, I was maybe dramatizing a bit too much. His spine wasn't completely broken, and now he's wearing one of those funny supporting belts around his back. He's doing just fine and recovering fast.

 

Good, because I need him help me dragging some furniture for me. :shifty:

He's doing just fine and recovering fast.

Your brother-in-law is clearly Batman. :shifty:

And the rock he fell on shall henceforth be known as Bane, the rock who broke Batman's back!
