Pop's in the hospital again.
Fell down earlier in the afternoon and off he went to the E.R.

We and the EMTs crossed our fingers that is might only be a dislocation, but not so. He broke his right hip high up just under the 'ball joint', as well as a few scrapes suffered on the way down to the garage floor.
The 'official' diagnosis is: Displaced right subcapital femoral neck fracture.

I just returned from the hospital and will turn in early so as to be back in the early a.m. when surgery is scheduled to replace the hip joint, as that seems to be the current way the orthopedists TCOB.

Keep those prayers a comin' as we'll be needing every one for the next couple of months.

Sorry to hear that. Prayers up.

Falls seem to be the bane of our elders, which I'm not far from being, frankly.

Mom's only 92, several years younger than your dad, but I strongly suspect she's had a few falls, and won't mention them.

Text me as more is known, Sir.

Prayers for your Pops and your family.
