Turns out my ankle was just mad from all my recent exercise so that’s cleared up firstly.

Now to the story of the title. Last night at around 2 am my brother got in a big accident. He has several broken bones, may even lose his leg, internal bleeding in his stomach and a brain bleed. They have brought him into surgery for his legs to put rods on them and help them heal but one had its circulation starting to cut off last wed heard. They can’t do surgery to fix the brain bleed or internal bleeding so that’s all they can do right now and then we all just cross our fingers I guess. We will be leaving to got see him in a few hours. It’ll be a couple days before we get to him because he moved out when he was eighteen and lives several states away from us right now. Our camper will be left here at the campground for now and when we get back will be moving to the next job. I don’t believe in god or Jesus but right now I’m hoping that if there is one that they make my brother alright. I’ll update as soon as I can.

Thank you. They hope to be able to do surgery to correct his major injuries in his legs in a couple days once he’s had some time to heal

Goodness that’s awful. You have a safe journey and I hope he is improving by the time you get there.

Thank you so much. I hope he is too. We may fight but I do love him a lot and idk what I’d do without him

Oh my word Ccrowlu, sorry to hear this.

Here's hoping that all goes well with his recovery, however long it takes.

He's in good hands now.

Try not to stress to much & don't forget to take care of yourself. x

Your poor brother. Hope they can get him fixed. If it’s any consolation the husband of someone who works with my husband was in a dreadful accident just before Christmas. He broke bones in his neck and back, several bones in both legs, his arms, he was helicoptered to a major trauma hospital and put into an induced coma. Like your ur brother, they couldn’t operate on his head injury for ages. Well they couldn’t fix any of him for ages. Basically it was a total nightmare and no one expected him to survive.

A couple of months on and he’s been home for a while, can even get himself to the loo now with a walking frame thing that he can lean on - he can’t use a normal one - and his prognosis looks good so hang on in there both of you even when things look desperate they can and do get better. Sending the best most healing vibes in your direction.
