Broken Wing

Our buddy Gary, aka Gaza, just took a spill at work today when an un-nailed floor joist slipped beneath him and he had the unfortunate fall into a beam 3' below. Three broken ribs is no joke, and don't make him laugh for at least 3 months. Who said paragliding is dangerous? Work is dangerous. Gary, Laurel, and Eli are all working real hard raising Bean, building a home and preparing for winter. And with another sprout on the way it turns up the heat even more. Laurel and Gaza have always stepped up and helped everyone else whenever they could, and I figure a little payback goes a long way so I started a GofundMe page to help them out.

Gaza is at home now receovering. The Doctor's told him the his lung was healed enough to go home.
He still has four broken ribs and will be out of work until Christmas.
Give him a call Monkeys. He'd love to hear from you.

I'm pretty sure Gaza was one of the first to arrive and help me out of the tree at KNA a few years back.
Glad to support the ground me. Ribs are the worst! So painful to laugh! Cheers to all, hope to get back again soon.
