Injured Comrade

I just heard that one of our forum friends, Wes Lupher (JL), has found he’s been working/riding with a busted pelvis for the last year or so and just the other day (maybe today) had a bleeding ulcer put him in the hospital. Keep him in your thoughts – he must be one tough hombre.

That sounds painfull, wish him well.

Update.

I heard from his cousin, Lingodog on here, that he is out of ICU. They scoped him and plugged the holes. Sounds like they will release him in the morning. Family is getting by. Mama Lupher running back and forth the 30 or so miles to the hospital and home. The oldest daughter is cracking the whip on the younger ones. The 14 year old son is getting the haying done with the help of his 75 year old grandfather that suffers from macular degeneration and the school teacher uncle. They have fair this next week to showcase a years worth of efforts. I will give him a call in a bit. Sounds like the chuck wagon had just come through.

Thanks for the update! Do you have a postal address for Wes – we’ll send him a get well. You can PM me if that’s better. Thanks.

BTW – Wes mentioned it was “hard to cowboy” with a busted hip although he did it for over a year and a half. I’d say he “cowboyed up” big time. The Duke would be proud!
