Sorry Dad
Today, my dad's car door was frozen shut. As he was in a hurry, he asked me to force it open. When I did so, the door slammed into his back. hard. Now he can barely walk, even with a walker, but he needs to walk in order for it to improve, or else he may become wheelchair-bound for the rest of his life. FML

II think it goes without saying:… (1) Get Dad to an urgent care or ER so they can check if he has a break or something serious… (2) Assuming no breaks, Dad should recover, though it won’t be quick. He may require physical therapy to fully recover… I fell a couple of years back and hurt my back. Nothing was broken, but I had to have an ambulance take me to the ER because I couldn’t get around. With some moderate physical therapy I recovered - But I will never forget that episode… Shit happens, I assume this was a pure accident. In the future look around and think it through before applying a lot of force when things are stuck.
