Can't remember if I mentioned this last night in any of the posts. I can't find it.
My father-in-law is in Forrest General. He fell yesterday and broke his hip. The doctor said it up there with some of the worst hip fractures he had seen. It splintered the top of the leg where it goes into the hip when it drove the bone into the socket and broke the socket in several pieces. He will have to keep all weight off of that leg for at least 6 weeks. And, if it doesnt heal, they will have to go back in and put in an artificial hip.
I stopped in to see him tonight, and my wife and her sister will be staying with him for the next several days. I'm headed back over there tomorrow.
Please keep him in your prayers.
