Caretaker
Yesterday Caretaker had an accident at work. He has a torn quadriceps tendon, which requires surgery. Sounds like the surgery will be sometime today. Recovery will be a long process, he could be off work for 6 months. 
Good luck today Caretaker, please keep us up to date with your progress.

And defiantly keep us informed about the hospital menu. Hope you have a friend sneaking you in a micky or two of whisky.

Hope the op has gone well and you are being waited on hand and foot! 
Don't forget to put in a claim under wcbsask - https://www.wcbsask.com/ - (workers comp) you should receive some recompense for your workplace injury and subsequent rehab.. at least then you won't have to worry about how to pay your bills etc.

Re: Caretaker
That sucks, if you are reading this, I hope you make a complete recovery.
At least you get to spend the coldest 6 months of the year at home, indoors and in the warm.

Although he will probably post pics of some concoction he’s whipped together for breakfast for the nurses.

I just got back to the room after about 4 hrs in OR and 2 hrs in recovery to bring my BP down. The spinal anesthetic didn't t work very well so I had a general on top of that.

Sleep well tonight and hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. How long will you be in hospital for?

Rest up, obey the nurses (!) and I hope you get something tasty to eat when you're feeling up to it.

Re: Caretaker
Hopefully the worst is behind you now. Rest, TV and maybe some kind of Cheesecake should help the healing process.
