Our Crazy " Pop" Rocco.....

Well we're headed upstate, unexpectedly. Frank's 71 year old father Rocco, was cutting down trees on his property yesterday, when one of them fell on top of him, trapping him underneath. His cousin Nunzio (in his 60's), and my son Dominic (yes Dominic!) tried all they could to get it off him until they had to resort to using a chain saw to cut the tree into smaller, lighter pieces. Anyone who knows this man, is not shocked by this story at all, especially the part about him waiting and trying to walk off the fractured knee he got because he didn't want his wife finding out!! They finally got him up to the house in the golf cart and he still was trying to play it off until he fainted 3 times! That's when they called the ambulance... So now he's in Albany medical center waiting to have surgery on his knee, and getting checked out by a pulmonologist to see why he was fainting, couldn't it have been just the pain?
Dominic, Franky, and Angelo were all upstate for the last couple of weeks with them and were supposed to come back tomorrow for Mario's 11th birthday 0n 07/07/07, but now we'll have to celebrate upstate instead, which is where Mario wanted to be in the first place!! Please keep Pop in your prayers for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery, I'll keep you all posted to his progress. Thanks in advance.......
