My father had a serious car accident last week. He failed to give way to another car and t-boned it. As far as we know the other driver has only suffered a broken collar bone. Dad is due for his third surgery tomorrow, this will be to start the facial reconstruction and check on his broken pelvis, leg, arm and knee. He has numerous broken ribs and one of these punctured his lung , this has since reinflated. His spleen was removed as well. He has been placed in an induced coma so at least he isnt in pain and/ or complaining about being in hospital. This is really hard for mum as she has been left in the city by herself, had to learn how to use a mobile (cell) phone, with no idea how long his recovery will take. Hopefully she will be told a time frame soon. She lives 4 hours ( and doesn't drive or know how to catch city buses ) from the hospital and we live 6.5 from there. Dad is 78 so his recovery will be a lot slower.
