Tell him the ChickenBorg can build him a new replacement leg. Of course it will be made out of titanium steel alloy and need a battery.

I read that before I left, so I told him, he found it hilarious (big belly laugh). Thanks!

Another big belly laugh! Sadly, it was probably it's last soccer game...

Good luck, dear, I hope it goes all right.
So right now dad is still in an emergency corridor, waiting for the surgery that should be tonight or tomorrow. He's been fasting for almost 24 hours, and there is no way for him to drink or eat before the surgery he's waiting to undergo *eventually* (fridgin' health system). His leg is broken a little over the ankle, and he will need to have metal plates screwed in there... they say that he will have to stay hospitalized for a day or two after the surgery, so he won't be back for 2-3 days. His Sony is almost out of battery, but he can't really read since he's exhausted, the lines wiggle in front of his eyes. He says hi to all and is happy to have your good wishes. He looked much more healthy than my mom, actually...
