Sorry to hear about your Dad. Here's prayers for a speedy recovery...Dennis

Dave I was really sorry to read this about your dad. I have known woodsmen who have done it for years get hurt. You really can not always tell what a tree will do. If you ever need to talk I am here.

Sorry to hear of your dad's accident. But very please to hear that he's alive and with time and effort will mend. I pray that his recovery is quick and complete. I know from personal experience that bones in old bodies tend to heal slower than those in our youth, but with patience and therapy it will happen.

Too bad about your dad's accident, but thank God he had the presence of mind to get his body out of the way. I have cut a lot of trees over the years and know from experience how treacherous they can be especially ones that are already damaged. You can never be too careful. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Wow. You are all bringing a near tear to my eyes. Not that I felt everyone wasnt a caring bunch. I know better. Thank you soo much!!!

We got him home just now.....sorry for the long return response. I'm a member of many forums but this is the only forum I had the time to drop in on at the time. Dad is 65 but a very strong man as far as health is concerned. He has over the last year devoloped continuous parkenson's in his right side (the same side as his accident) so rehabilitation is going to extended compared to most. Dad is still in good spirits though. Thank you all for your blessings and thoughts. I have to relay this to my other forums so no-one will feel I forgot about them. I really havent had time. I've gone non-stop since Sunday.

Again....thank you all!

Dave glad your Dad is safe and alive. It will be a long road for his bones to mend, but like you said, thank god he's alive. When I was a teenager a friend of mine was riding dirt bikes with his Dad. A guy was out in the forest trimming trees near the road they were on, as the came ripping around a turn they heard a tree snapping and falling, both gassed it hard, the treecaught his Dad with the tree top branches and knocked him off his bike. He said his heart nearly stopped as he dug underneith the branches for his Dad. He also said he knew his Dad was ok, because his Dad's first words were, "god, so that's how a fly feels right before the end!"
We will pray for a fast and full recovery for your Dad.
