Super User retiredbosn Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 I know you worked today farmer, but is there any update on your boss' condition? 1
Super User ww2farmer Posted November 30, 2014 Author Super User Posted November 30, 2014 I know you worked today farmer, but is there any update on your boss' condition? Thanks for asking. He is still in a medical induced coma to keep him stable. We also learned today that his entire rib cage on the right side is shattered, and right lung punctured. They didn't do much today from what I am told. Kind of wanted to let things settle down, and stabilize. Last I knew he was going in for more surgery to try and save his left leg sometime tomorrow. His family (wife, brother, and nephews, they have no kids of there own) is keeping all of us employees in the loop. There is no visitation right now for obvious reasons. The guys and I are going to keep on working so at least something feels normal. No good will come from us packing it in and moping around, especially since there really is nothing else we can do. It feels like a helpless situation, but we'll keep plugging away and hope and prey it all works out.
Super User ww2farmer Posted November 30, 2014 Author Super User Posted November 30, 2014 Btw, Thanks to everyone for there thoughts and well-wishes. Just having Bass Resource to look in on during the day takes a little of the gloom away. I sure wish someone would start an argument about the best $100 rod soon, I need the entertainment LOL. 3
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 30, 2014 Global Moderator Posted November 30, 2014 Wow that is awful. I've seen some terrible stuff working on farms, including a guy getting disemboweled by a longhorn bull, but getting chewed up by a combine The fact that he's alive at all is a miracle in it's own right, hopefully you'll hear some good news soon.

There is no such thing as a good $100 rod. You don't even get into good rods until you have spent at least $300. How's that farmer. If that don't get an argument started, nothing will.....lol.

Super User ww2farmer Posted November 30, 2014 Author Super User Posted November 30, 2014 Just got an update from the family, surgery went well, and for now it looks like he is keeping his left leg. That's all I know for now. Keep the positive thoughts rolling. 8
mrmacwvu1 Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Good to hear. It is nice that you and the other workers and doing what you need to do. I am sure your boss would be proud of you guys.
mrmacwvu1 Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Just read the other thread Franco had to shut it down I haven't laughed that hard in awhile
Super User Lund Explorer Posted December 1, 2014 Super User Posted December 1, 2014 Just got an update from the family, surgery went well, and for now it looks like he is keeping his left leg. That's all I know for now. Keep the positive thoughts rolling. Here's hoping that you boss will make as full of a recovery as possible.
Super User ww2farmer Posted December 2, 2014 Author Super User Posted December 2, 2014 This morning I guess they took him off the heavy sedation/induced coma and woke him up. He opened his eyes and was alert and knew what had happened and what was going on. Still optimistic about the left leg, and they were able to, for the time being, save enough of his right leg below the hip socket to at least fasten a prosthetic to if/when the time comes. Still a long ways to go before he's out of the woods, and still a lot of things unknown at this time, but at least the news today was somewhat positive. 1
wnybassman Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 What he is going through physically is unimaginable, but what he will be going through mentally will be even worse. Not much you guys can do physically for him, but staying strong for him will help immensely. And I know all of you will.
Super User retiredbosn Posted December 2, 2014 Super User Posted December 2, 2014 Each update has gotten better, praying that it continues
Super User gardnerjigman Posted December 2, 2014 Super User Posted December 2, 2014 Keeping the prayers coming. Strength to the family, and to you guys.
rmcguirk Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Thoughts and prayers to you and yours Here's hoping that the improving updates continue.
Super User J Francho Posted December 2, 2014 Super User Posted December 2, 2014 Oh god, I'm sorry. The thoughts and prayers are incoming.
Super User buzzed bait Posted December 2, 2014 Super User Posted December 2, 2014 nothing but good thoughts for his family and those closest to him.... i hope you find some peace while at work today, likely better than sitting around thinking about it though. i know i would prefer to just keep busy.
Super User ww2farmer Posted December 5, 2014 Author Super User Posted December 5, 2014 It's been a week since the accident. He's still kickin', and every little bit of news that trickles out to us is better than the last. We're still working, so things have settled down here for now. It's just a wait and see game from here on out. 3
Global Moderator Mike L Posted December 6, 2014 Global Moderator Posted December 6, 2014 Im so sorry to hear about what happened. Best wishes and May God Bless him, and his family. Mike
