I just heard from Leni Reeves that Barry fractured his pelvis this weekend in a construction accident. Apparently he can't sit/stand/walk right now, although he's expected to be fine eventually.

Heal fast! Condolences.

Sh#t! That's what happens when we aren't climbing...climbing's safer.

Heal up bro! Hopefully Leni can give you that 'second opinion.'

Best luck healing, Barry.
I hope your pelvis fracture is minor.
Mine was almost entirely healed in 4 weeks, but I still feel an occasional twinge after 6 months.

Just talked to Barry on the telephone, and he seems in good spirits albeit groggy from the ordeal and medication.

Perhaps you have a moment to send him a note of encouragement.

Hi, this is Barry's significant other and best friend.

Here's the full report:
Barry was supposed to go climbing Saturday, but the weather was threatening so he stayed home, did some resoles and worked on the house, which we've been painting, and I went to town. He was on the roof walking backward caulking and lost track of how far he was from the edge as he hurried to finish up, stepped off the roof and landed on concrete. He has fractures in 2 places on his right pelvis and fractures of the transverse processes of some lumbar vertebrae. These are painful and no fun injuries but he is neurologically intact and everything will heal. Right now he can't even roll over in bed, much less sit or stand, so shop time has become both long and unpredictable. He is home after 23 ER hours and we're both needing some rest, but I heard this thread was up and wanted to be reassuring and also to let everyone know this was not a climbing accident. Climbing is safe compared to working. Even mountain goats can fall.

Appreciate your concern,
LVR

Barry-
Get well, big guy.
I'm bummed we called off our day- lightning would have been less dangerous.
Get better, get rest, and unplug the phone if necessary.
Leni- thanks for being there and doing the home health care thing.
Let me know what you need help on in the meantime-
