He has had TWO NEW KNEES replaced over the past 2 years, and was doing wonders...~~
Swimming 3 kms EVERY morning...DOING all THE BIG BAY swims in MELBOURNE over summer..PIER TO PUB etc...(he is THE LEGEND!!)...
BUT he fell over a little step into a business here in our town..this past Tuesday..
& fell heavily on one knee...
BROKEN his patella...(knee cap...sliced in half...per X RAY.)..
SO dad is prostate....RIGHT LEG STIFF in a brace...staying with ME..(& rest of family)..
This is for 6 weeks...!!!~~ so NO swimming..no driving..NO NOTHING for DAD~~
Hopefully the knee will bind/mend...otherwise a BIG OPERATION...hope this doesn't need to happen again at his age....
So i am busy looking after dad..(he eats like a horse!! thats good)....
He is lazing around on the couch!!~
He is lazing around on the couch!!~

Oh No poor Dad! You are a wonderful daughter Andrea.
Sending your Dad loads of healing vibes, please let's hope he doesn't have to have yet another Operation.

Hi Andrea, that's not good news at all about your dad. Hope his knee will mend soon, but by the sounds of it nothing keeps your dad down! He is very lucky to have you look after him like that! you take care too, Maryann
Look at your beautiful Dad...treasure him. I hope he gets better really soon and things get back to normal for both of you xx Ava
