He fell, and landed on both knees. Ambulance to the hospital, where one thing they did not do was a MRI. So almost two weeks later at a rehab facility, with almost zero progress, that was finally ordered, and found the tendons torn loose from the kneecaps.
Surgery.
Several weeks in upper thigh-to-ankles braces to keep the legs from bending. Then into shorter braces that allow some motion; still needs a walker, but can actually walk.
Couple of weeks of that, then a roundabout trying to get some word on when the motion would be increased. FINALLY get something done, braces adjusted, and he's walking much better, and can seat himself and get up from a regular toilet.
Few points here I'd have liked to address some of the problems with a club, but he's doing a lot better, and should be home within a couple of weeks.
