Reaching out for help for my father.
He took a serious fall on 5/13, which after testing found out he has 5 fractures in his left foot and cannot bear any weight on that foot for 3-4 weeks (possible surgery needed to correct the metatarsal bases 1-4 along with the middle and medial cuneiform) in other words place a rod through his toes to provide balance to walk.
Not being able to bear any weight on his foot, he is unable to work. He is a manager at Skyline Chili which being able to sitdown while working is impossible. He is unable to drive, takes bus transportation to and from work (which getting to the bus is a hike within itself from his apt) working full time with prior knee and foot injuries that lead up to this fall.
In order to properly heal this is taking him off work 6-8 weeks, if surgery is needed we're looking at 3 months.
He lives 3 stories up in his apt currently unable to bear any weight on his foot for the next 3-6 weeks followed by another ct to see if surgery is needed.
Living paycheck to paycheck trying to make ends meet all awhile trying to recover without losing his home.
Trying to provide enough support to get him through his recovery and on the mend to being able to get to and from work without complication.
