Shattered

Popped into hospital to see my Dad last night. He was tidying up his tools in the garden the other day when he tripped and fell backwards, smashing his right elbow on the blade of the spade he was carrying. He's chipped some bone off his elbow and had to have surgery to rebuild the joint.

He's got it in plaster and traction at the moment and will need some physiotherapy as the weeks progress. He's got a couple of wires holding it all together so he's kind of a bionic man now. Thank heavens for the NHS.

Mum's barred him from the garden, she'd already barred him from DIY after he drilled through a water pipe.

Hopefully, they'll let him out of hospital today and he can get back to his own spot on the sofa.
