[KansasSooner]

Apparently he broke an arm and fractured his pelvis....


Damn

Sheesh... Get that damn guy off the field already! Somebody get him a fishing pole and some bait.

 

[WestEndVol]

Wow, sorry to hear that.

 

[ForkEmBucky]

That sucks. But somehow I feel that he will find his way to the field.

 

[SFNL]

Shit dude... 80+ yr old people die from this type of shit..

I have a feeling this is what puts him into retirement. At least it happened on the field. Maybe that will satisfy him now.

oh this is shitty to hear. This is not the way I want to see JoePa enter retirement. People of that age suffering from this injuries can take a major toll on their life. Hope he heals quickly and safely.

Not likely at his age...osteoporosis has probably set in by now and bones just don't heal that fast when you get old.

 

[OregonDucks]

Sooner, I was being hopeful. Jesus Dr. Death here.

Sooner, I was being hopeful. Jesus Dr. Death here.

I was being realistic.

 

[OregonDucks]

I was being realistic.

well reality sucks. See glass as half full. it helps in life.

 

[KansasSooner]

well reality sucks. See glass as half full. it helps in life.

And when you reach 50 it become a little clearer what mortality is too.

 

[OregonDucks]

I can't even imagine and dont want to imagine it.

 

[ugafan6612]

[SFNL]

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Joe Paterno was hospitalized and undergoing tests on his right arm and hip after a player ran into the 84-year-old coach during practice.
Paterno was admitted Sunday evening to Mount Nittany Medical Center after he walked away from the collision with a receiver, the school said Monday. Receiver Devon Smith was running a drill when he blindsided the Hall of Fame coach.
"I expect to be back at practice soon," Paterno said in a statement. "I'm doing fine; tell everyone not to worry about me."
Dr. Wayne Sebastianelli, Penn State director of athletic medicine, said it doesn't appear surgery will be required. The school said Paterno could be released in the next 24 hours.
Paterno conducted Monday morning's coaches meeting by phone from the hospital, according to Penn State. Assistant coaches will be running practice while Paterno is gone and it was unclear how long that would be, athletic department spokesman Jeff Nelson said in an email.

My mother-in-law is in her 80's and just fell this year and fractured a hip and her back.

Because she is so old they glued the fractures. She spent about 2 weeks in the hospital, about a month in a rehab facility and is back home now. She is not getting around as good as she was but she is getting around.

I guess because they don't heal they use some kind of glue now.

 

[WestEndVol]

Jesus, when you get old, they just glue you back together?! I feel sorry for the elders.
