J got seriously injured No video this week

J had a pretty serious fall. He badly broke his arm.
Our hospital has no Orthopedist. Not just, not on duty...Not at all...
I was told there was nobody willing to transport him.I had to pack him up with pillows and blankets to make the 2 hour drive to a real hospital in Coos Bay.
The sound of a loved one crying out in pain cuts into your soul deeper than any harsh word ever could.
I don't have anything kind to say about the building posing as a Hospital in my town.
Within moments of arriving, a Surgeon was called in to get my baby put back together again.
A few hours of emergency surgery rods, screws, and sever deep conversations with God later, he came out of surgery.
We tried to lighten the mood by telling him the surgery was a success and he was now a beautiful woman. You'd have to understand our sense of humor to know how funny that is. (Both of us have supported our LGBT siblings in spirit & the Drag Community for the better part of 30 years)
J & I don't talk about our personal lives much if ever. We just didn't feel like our relationship mattered much in the context of a rock hounding channel.

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Dood, no good! Good thing you made it to coos bay's hospital. Get well soon and we will be here for ya!

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

Rogue, I've got some of your rocks via Currently Rockhounding! I live in Beatty, east of Klamath Falls. I wasn't sure whether you were a "rogue rockhound", or a "Rogue River rockhound", but from your familiarity with the area I'm pretty sure you're the river kind! I opened my box of rocks and they're still sitting here on my table where I can look at them and enjoy them. Thank you!

[@TheRogueRockhound]

@@gwynnfarrell1856 I know exactly where Beatty is, and yup I'm the good kind of Rogue Rockhound ^^. I'm so glad some of them made it to you and you are able to enjoy them, I know I have a great time finding them. Once I get done with school, I will be getting out and doing some hounding and look forward to finding a bit of something for everyone! Chat with you soon

[@robertmandigo7942]

Sorry to hear that David, I hope J can make a full recovery! Ive broken both of my arms, so I know what he's going through :(

[@grandparocky]

So sorry to hear about your accident. Healing prayers sent just for you in Jesus name Amen.

I'm so sorry! I'm thankful for your doctors and surgeon. Sending prayers for your comfort and recovery. Take care, you two! 💗🙏💗

[@willkennelly6675]

That's rough, hope you are feeling better. Sooner rather than later

[@KristineBette]

So sorry to hear that! I wish him a speedy recovery, and my heart goes out to you both.

[@Lisa.Sparkman]

I will be praying for both of you. I pray for J's full recovery. I also pray for you as caregiver. Don't forget to be as good to yourself as you are to J. Caregiving takes a lot out of a person. Family first. This subscriber isn't going anywhere.

[@michelleangers342]

Please feel better soon David! I love your videos. Much love to you and Mrs. Briggs from Windsor ON Canada.

[@ellenboyington4464]

Very sorry about your accident, I broke my leg and both wrists wiping out a couple years ago and I was hounding rocks again in no time, stay positive better days ahead👍

[@MACorrupt]

David I’m just seeing this. I’m so sorry my gosh I hope you’re OK and I hope you heal very fast and very well. Love and prayers buddy.🤎

[@bruv1039]

Best wishes. Tom Segura had a similar accident and listening to him talk about it might give you a laugh.

[@sarejen6868]

Oh no, geeze! Sorry to hear of what you both had to go through. I just found the channel a bit ago. Wish you quick healing, lack of stress and the positive energies being sent your way.

[@kd7ign]

Stand in a corner but away from the wall a bit. Feet together. Look at your feet and raise your eyes slowly up to the ceiling and down raising your head up and down with your eyes. If you lose your balance you have the wall. This is a good starter exercise for balance. After the arm is better of course. There are ones you can do to further help. Being older too, I get it. Fast healing prayers your way. Emotionally too because it’s often hard on our psyche to realize we’re human.

[@DavidBriggsAdventures]

Thanks. That one of the balance things he has to work on. J, bless him, has never been known as the most graceful of souls. He's in good spirits, but the pain meds make him sleepy. He's got a lot of healing to do. Poor guy has big ugly bruises down the side he fell on. It's gonna be a few weeks at least before he can walk around outside. Every day is a small improvement over the last.

[@mebs001]

Always sorry to hear about an injury. Hope you are doing okay now a year later.

[@silverback5033]

I know a little bit of how you feel, I am laid up at the moment after getting a leg caught between 2 cars in the pits at a racetrack. Nothing broken luckily. Hope you mend quickly and without too much pain. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin (once you have had time to mend)

[@HangtownDave]

So Sorry to hear this! Hope J recovers soon! Many Positive thoughts and prayers to you guys!

[@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469]

Prayers for speedy recovery. Thanks for informing us. Mrs. Briggs prayers for you.

[@DavidBriggsAdventures]

There is no Mrs. Mr. & Mr. Almost 12 years now. ;)

[@mohammednovalija]

So is this a Gay couple ?

[@DavidBriggsAdventures]

Yup.
