DUer Forkboy Falls And Gets....forked up. 
 Forkboy had a nasty fall on some stairs, and will be laid up for a while. His right arm was broken in two places, muscles in his shoulder tore off the bone and he has a serious concussion. He is scheduled for surgery next Tuesday, so please send him your thoughts, prayers, candle lightings....just all around good vibes for speedy healing.

Also smashed was his trusty laptop, so this hasn't been a good week for him. People who already have lost a significant portion of their lives because of disability and the isolation that comes from that, lose even more from injuries like this. This is a time I sure wish DU had a nice flower emoticon!

 I never knew they were this close.

Are bobo and forkboy one in the same?

Think someone is hinting for a new laptop?

Proof positive that DUmmies are to stupid to walk and post at the same time.

Never ceases to amaze me how all these people on disability can afford laptops, broadband, cars, drugs, etc. Then turn right around and whine how rough they have it.

Makes ya wanna slap 'em up side the head!

I heard he fell while walking up a flight of stairs.

This was an excellent thread to build one's mole creds on all the hoi polloi were there.

Wonder if Bobo broke her iPhone in the fall as well? 

[Rufus2010]

Too bad he didn't break his neck.

I guess him and bobolink are lovers?

Update, right from the klutz's own mouth:

9. I have an update about him.
 He says, "Ouch!"

I'm doing ok. The headaches are less frequent and intense already, which is a little faster than it was for my last concussion. The other stuff will just take time to mend, but isn't a big deal to me (been in enough hockey games and moshpits that getting biffed up is nothing new). My arm is totally immobilized, so there's no major pain there or anything. I have some of those Motrin 800's (can't so real painkillers), and that's helping enough to dull what pain there is.

The concussion stuff worries me a lot more, so the progress on that already is a good thing for me. Still have some foggy stretches, and I don't remember everything about yesterday at the moment, but I do feel progress.

I've been at my father's but I'm going home later on. i miss my cat.

and he adds a quick plug here for Romneycare:

20. I was taken right to the hospital by my father, who was waiting for me when i fell.
 i'm very fortunate, because I have Masshealth and everything is covered, so people are keeping an eye on me.

That's why the DUmmies should stay clear from the stairs when they drink those alcoholic beverages.
