My poor Daddy

We were going out for a curry Saturday night. Mum was baby sitting JJ. G, K, Taf, Dad and I were going out. We went to the pub for 1 drink and then started to walk to the restaurant. We were walking along a poorly lit road when my Dad tripped. It looked like he was going to be able to save himself, but then he got his foot caught on the kerb and went down really hard. He hit his face on the kerb and landed on his elbow. We helped him up and he insisted we should carry on. Luckily my bruvver is a super cool first aider. We got Dad under a street light and his face was a bit of a mess. He then admitted he couldn't move his left arm. So Taf and G took him off to casualty whilst K and I went back to tell Ma. Poor Dad, he's broken his left elbow. They've put it in a half cast and he has to go back next week for a full one. In the meantime, he can't do much as he's a left hander.
It was horrible watching him fall. It seemed like slow motion, but we couldn't get to him in time.
My baby bro was well impressive. He should have been a medic.
p.s. JJ is now walking and melting the hearts of anyone who sees her.
