Please pray for my friend Sam

[cookiejar]

He's a great guy and a coach at a High School I visit. This last weekend he ruptured his Achilles Tendon while playing basketball with the guys (I thought that WASN'T a contact sport? sheesh!).

 

Apparently it was audible. Just writing it made me cringe. They are doing some more tests but I guess he has to have a surgery for it. Apparently they are also making sure he didn't rip a piece of the bone free with it.

 

Please put him for some prayers for an easy surgery and a swift COMPLETE recovery? All his students are so upset and worried.

 

He's a wonderful guy, thanks...

I hope your friend's tendon can be repaired! That sounds like it was pretty traumatic

Adding him to my prayers. As for the contact sport, it may not be but it is a running and jumping sport...he probably came down too hard or the wrong way on his ankle. No need for contact. I will pray for an quick and easy recovery.

Ugh, that sounds so painful!

He has to be in a lot of pain with this.

Surgery was a success! Just the rip (which is still enough to me out). He did NOT rip a piece of the bone off with it thank goodness.

 

Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes. Though he will miss chaparoning Grad Bash this weekend, he is doing fine. They are fitting him out with a *boot(?)* support style cast...thingy.

 

Yes, the other teachers are going to make ..ahem...

boot-i-licious jokes. Yes, I know. Junior high humor.

 

I love the power of prayer, thank you all again.

It's good to hear that he did well through the surgery - hope the recovery is quick and easy for him!
