I was planning to attend my friend's husband's 75th birthday party tomorrow night, but she called a couple of days ago to explain that the gentleman had fallen off his toilet after flushing and broken a rib. Not the best way to celebrate a birthday unfortunately. He is awaiting knee replacment surgery for both knees next March so it would help explain his loss of balance. He is also overweight. My friend was at work when it happened so they ended up in emergency that night as he was in such pain. All they gave him was a light morphine prescription and they are thinking of having the dose increased.
What can I say, I mailed his birthday card and hopefully he can have his party at a later date!

Yikes. Sorry to read that he fell.
Oh my, what a shame. Wish him a happy birthday and that he soon feels better. We need to be so careful when we get older! Hugs, Valerie
Oh no... Sorry about your friend. I wish him a full and speedy recovery.
Nice of you to mail the card at least. Here's hoping the 76th goes better for him.
Oh dear! OUCH! That's a darn awful way to spend a birthday. He must be in terrible pain.
My mother in law fell off the toilet and her husband had to call the firemen to lift her up.
How horrible for him!
that sounds like a bad birthday
What a lovely photo! I'm sorry to hear about your friend, unfortunate indeed. I hope he feels better soon.
What a terrible event! That's so sad!
Love the photo. But I hate it that your friend is in so much pain. From experience I can tell you that broken ribs HURT-A-LOT!!! Thanks for visiting my blog, Christine.
