My Stepmother called this afternoon to tell me my father was hit by a car while on his bike ride today. He was airlifted to the hospital. They are preparing him for a 5-9 hour surgery to repair both knees, an ankle, and a hand. (I still know very little detail at this point.) He had a bit of injury to his head but he has been conscious and talking and they performed tests to make sure there was no damage. I have been told none of his injuries are life threatening, but with damage to both legs...we will have to wait and see how his mobility is affected. Please send some dust our way that the surgery goes well and he recovers strong.

Oh no! What a relief that your dad doesn't have life threatening injuries. Sending lots of dust to your dad, you and your family for strength and healing. I hope the surgery is successful and your dad has a quick and complete recovery.

Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear this! How awful!!! My friends dad was in a cycling accident about 15 years ago and badly broke his hip. He had a long recovery, but he hikes and skis now and it just about good as new. DUST for a complete recovery!!!

Chloe - I do hope what you heard is the worst of it! Does your father have a fighting spirit? That can be as important as anything in determining how he comes through this.

Dust for your father, his medical team, and your family!

Chole...I am saying a prayer for your father's surgery and recovery. As a fellow cyclist... my heart breaks for him.... doing what we love has become so very dangerous.... I know... I've seen the sad results... :cry:

Lots of healing dust! My dad was in a bike accident a few years ago too. He swerved to avoid being hit by a car, lost control of the bike and it fell over, and he ended up with a brain bleed (and yes, he was wearing a helmet!). Because he was able to avoid the car, he didn't suffer any additional injuries, but he needed surgery to evacuate the blood. Biking can be a lot more dangerous than we like to think. But he's back on the bike now and has had no serious long-term effects.

Oh goodness, Chloe. Lots of dust for your dad, for you, and for the rest of your family. Here's hoping the surgery goes well and he's back on his bike in no time.

Thanks for the dust, everyone.

My dad is in surgery now. They will be putting plates in his ankle and hand. Recovery is expected to take about 3 months, in which he won't be able to walk. I think it will be really tough for him to need help. This is really awful timing...just last week we found out his mother has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and at 84 years old, her prognosis is not good. He was planning to be visiting her (traveling from Texas to Illinois) more often over the next several months to see her...his injuries will put a damper in his travel plans.

Keep us in your thoughts.

Super-healing and quick recovery dust to your Dad!! I do hope he is able to make it to visit his Mom, even if it is not as often as originally planned! Pancreatic cancer is a tough diagnosis at any age. I wish your family well.
