BB, just caught this thread and had no idea. Your bro will be in our prayers and please let us know if there is anything I can do. I will never forget the time you and Pete showed up at my home with the generator after one of the big hurricanes. If you need any of us up there please do not hesitate to call! Even just a shoulder!

You all are just too sweet and kind. I just love my SoWal family.
I'm back at work today and just called his room....he answered the phone himself and said he just had lunch, I asked him how was it he said 'Awww, it's awright, it's sustenance" He said they will be in his room in a little bit to do physical therapy, that is the worst part. He won't go home for a few more days, we have to build ramps, install shower lifts, chair lifts and other equipment he will need....I don't think he will need them for long. Now, we just have to keep his spirits up.
They, his wife and daughter, had planned a week long trip to Disney World in March for spring break, but that will be postponed, I told him to come to Watersound instead as we have seven miles of boardwalks we can wheel him around on, I also told him I have a beach buggy with fat tires we can pull him out on the beach and set him up for surf fishing. Anyone know if salt water will rust his bolts and rods?
Just keep him in your prayers. If any of you do want to send him a card, just pm me and I will send you his name and address.
Thanks again SoWal, y'all are the very best.

Glad to hear he is doing so well! 
He should see if he can still go to Disney - with the exception of the actual rides, everything has to comply with ADA, so he should be good in a wheelchair or on crutches. If they arrange it ahead of time, they might even get some special perks.
You would be amazed what a determined person on crutches can do - Mama Scooterbug already WORE OUT the crutches she got for her knee and Papa Scooterbug went clomping through the woods tracking a deer because he wouldn't let a whole leg cast (for a torn achilles) cancel Scooterbro's first hunting season. After he lost the crutch tip in a mud puddle they replaced it w/ a crushed beer can!

Think he will hold off on Disney, we may all go for Thanksgiving. Roadtrip!
His problem will be that he is going to be in a wheelchair for a time, his left arm is broke and his left leg, so it will be hard to do the crutches until the arm heals. They have talked about a walker of sorts when his arm heels, they said they can make it where he uses his elbow on the left side. Your Dad sound like Steve, we are already talking about ways to put him up in his deer stand for hunting. Heck, they are actually talking about buying him a travel trailer so he can just stay out in the woods and hunt. :roll:
Jul, I have volunteered to go feed the cows, I have pink rubber boots with beach chairs on them ready to go.
I'm now trying to talk my Dad and brother into going in with me on a pair of Alpaca's....did you know those things cost $20,000.00 each?!!! EACH?! They were teasing me about wanting to build them a cute pink gingerbread house to live in. Heck, if you pay that much for critters they may as well have a cute house. Poor Steve, he is used to it, did you notice our "joint" b'day party had pink balloons and pink bags.
