Buckaroo Bubba Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Sorry if this has been posted already. Just wanted to pass on the word and ask for prayers for Rowdy K. Let him know your praying and thinking about him. I received this email from Ruthless today: "Sorry to be the bearer of bad news already this year, but here's another person I need for you to keep near and dear to your hearts and prayers. Rowdy K was involved in a bad farming accident last Thursday. If you didn't already know this, since retirement Rowdy has taken on a job working on a local farm, which he really enjoys. Unfortunately while cleaning a grain buggy, his clothing got caught in the PTO shaft which was operating an auger. He says thank God there were 2 others there to immediately shut off the equipment and get emergency help. His major injuries include a broken ankle which had to be re-set twice and pinned. He suffered severe cuts to the underarm portion of both arms, nearly missing the main artery by 1/4". Surgery was done on those arms. Also he lost the flesh from his one elbow and skin grafts were taken from his leg yesterday for that. Once back home, Rowdy will undergo physical therapy at home. But for now, he could surely use your prayers. He has lots of healing to go but is positive about it all. He is just so very thankful his injuries weren't any worse than they were. I will keep you informed from time to time on his progress. Ruthless " Thank you.. Bubba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckaroo Bubba Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Just got an update from Ruthless: "I just got off the phone talking with Sandee. She said Rowdy's skin graft surgery yesterday went very well and their hopes are that he will be coming home Thursday or Friday. As she told me, the angels were certainly with him. As severely as he was cut, it appears he has no nerve damage. Thanks for everyone's prayers for our dear friend. Ruthless" I have Rowdy's address if anyone would like to send him a card. PM me if you would like it. Thanks, Bubba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckaroo Bubba Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Got an update on Rowdy K from Ruthless: "Our dear friend Rowdy K came home from the hospital yesterday. For now, he is in a wheelchair. He cannot walk or use either arm right now. Sandee is setting up a bed for him in their finished basement, which also has a full bathroom. Rowdy has a long road to recovery, but thank God he has that road. Please continue to keep him and Sandee in your prayers. Thank you all so much.

Buckaroo Bubba Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Got another update on Rowdy K from Ruthless: "Rowdy K called us last night. While he knows he has a long way to go to full recovery, he sounded so very positive about it all. He has use of his right leg and partial use of his right arm. Enough to get him up and out of the wheelchair on his own to get into the bed. He is not to use the left leg which has the pinned bone and where they took his skin grafts, or his left arm which was skin grafted. And he was happy to say he was able to feed himself yesterday. But more importantly than that, he specifically asked me to send all of you this e-mail to thank you for all of your prayers, kind words, and cards he has received. He said you cowboys truely are the best group of people he knows. Ruthless" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
