So I called my dad to tell him the good news about the possible new job, and he sounded like hell, so I asked him what was wrong.
He was just back from the hospital, having fallen down a flight of stairs and broken his wrist in 5 places.
Ouch!
He's gonna be out of work for a few days, and in painful recovery and rehab for a few months. He's in his 60s, and a master stonemason... Thankfully he's mostly a shop manager now, so it's not going to stop him from working, but still, ow.
