Bruce got hurt
« on: November 25, 2023, 06:04:15 PM »

I'm sure you folks didn't know it, but Bruce got hurt really bad a couple of weeks ago while deer hunting.
He had a bike accident.  He broke his neck. :yike: I'm not kidding.
He is in a neck brace doing okay.

If you get a few minutes give him a call and check on him, I'm pretty sure he would like to hear from you.

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

I am getting better. I will find out on the 15th of December if surgery is going to be necessary. Odds are it will not be necessary. Mostly done with the pain meds now. 12 weeks before I get the collar off.

Geez Bruce, I don't know how I missed this the first time.

Glad you're doing as well as you are, and hoping for a speedy recovery.

Somebody needs to keep an eye on you two boys.  Broken neck and Zipper Chest Club.  Hope recoveries are going well for both
May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

I'm still stand vertical..... LOL
I'm getting better everyday.
I have my sweetheart of 54 years taking care of me.

I have been in contact with Bruce, he sounds good
Personally I think they need to do something for him.
He is going to have a long recovery, no matter what.
