Got a text from my mum saying we're taking your dad to the ER, he should have listened to you. That's all she had to say I immediately knew what happened because I knew he was hanging stands last night. Apparently he was hanging his stand and the strap broke on the ladder piece he was on and he fell 15-18ft. He hobbled back to the car, and my mum saw him and he got cut up/beat up pretty bad on the way down and his wrist was the size of a grapefruit. Fortunately everything is okay, and he's fine, just some really bad contusions and nothing was wrong with his wrist.
The thing is I talked to him last week and TOLD him to get a belt to wear while hanging his stands, he always wears a harness in the tree but nothing when he hangs the stands. Sooo... I called him this morning...
"Dad, you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine"
"Oh how the tides have changed...Well I hate to say it pops but....... I told you so, shoulda listened to me"
"Oh have they changed.... did she tell you I still got the stand up"
"You're in an idiot dad, you're lucky"
