[WeldrDave]

Ouch! Prayers for a speedy and full recovery.

Amen X2

Please do keep us posted on his recovery if possible. In return, we'll keep him in our prayers.

Yowsers . . . bad . . . but looks like it could also have been a lot worse if it was a few inches up and over . . . about a year or two ago someone from I think it was Dover Foxcroft up this way had a tree branch go through their windshield and they were pretty seriously hurt as you may well imagine.

Guy came home yesterday. The story goes that nobody even knew this was in the thigh until cat scan came in almost four hours after accident.

Now there's a keepsake if I ever saw one.

Friend from work had a tree fall on car last night in storm and branch went into his leg and just about through the other side. Surgery this afternoon. What kind of wood?

This post floored me. "What kind of wood?" is simply brilliant.

I hope your friend has a speedy recovery. I have prayed that he can endure physio and that he regains full use of his leg.

No there's a keepsake if I ever saw one.

That kebob needs seasoning.

What, too soon?

 

[bmblank]

That's straight up Final Destination chit.

 

[Craig S.]

Im sure it doesn't feel like it to your friend, but he's "lucky" it only hit his leg.
Best for a speedy recovery.

 

[Highbeam]

blah, gross, gag.

 

[Hills Hoard]

holy crap. i thought you were joking about the whole "graphic" thing

 

[weatherguy]

He is lucky, happened here a few years back and got the guy in the head, he didn't make it. That is nasty looking, Id mount that piece of wood on my mantle, good conversation piece.

Nope. He started pt at home. Restless and stir crazy already. Told him to stick with it.

 

[TimJ]

During hurricane Isabel, when I lived in Virginia, we had 80mph sustained winds gusting to 95. Trees down everywhere. I lost 12, and this other neighbor lost 30. One huge red oak fell and landed on his house. A few limbs 8" in diameter or so, punctured through the roof right into the middle of the kitchen. Looked like wooden stalactites coming out of the ceiling.
Luckily, nobody was in the kitchen at the time.

Thanks for all the prayers and such
