Bill just had an accident in Malaysia. He fell from a height of about 20 feet while scouting a location for a movie over there (the fall was from something like a stage, in a movie a theater). He will be having surgery there tomorrow. I talked with him and he's in good spirits but in a lot of pain regardless of the pain medication. His heel is broken in 3 pieces. Fortunately he's in good hands over there. Please send him lots of good energy so he can have a successful surgery.
We're hopping that everything will be OK in the end. I am extremely grateful that he's alive, the fall was really serious.

Sending lots of positive energy and hugs!

Oh, goodness, my dear--send Bill (and you!) lots of good, healing vibes. It must be hard not being there to comfort him, but you have such a big, beautiful spirit that I have no doubt he feels the comfort even from so many miles away.

Posted by: Laura Irrgang | August 24, 2010 at 01:32 PM
Opened the channels and healing energy on it's way.
Send Bill my best and tell him to stay off his foot -- mine healed way faster (and stronger) than expected 'cause I kept it elevated. Wasn't easy and I looked like on idiot but who cares about short term sillyness; getting better faster was worth it. Big Hugs!

Oh! he didn't fall down the stairs at Batu Caves (in picture) did he? Wishing Bill a quick recovery!

Terrible news! Sending lots and lots of healing energy to William and to you and Diego and Natalie.
My husband fell off a bridge into a river while we were on summer vacation. He had surgery to fix his broken ankle last week and is doing much better now. He'll be on crutches for 2 months at least.
Malaysia is a long way from home. :(

Posted by: kirsten | August 25, 2010 at 12:47 PM
If this had to happen then I'm sure Bill is thanking his lucky stars he has a partner like you to see him through it. But make sure you have the support and rest you need too...it's a lot to handle given all the other things you have going on. Sending love and hugs from London to all of you.

Hi Elsa!
I'm so sorry to hear about your husband! I hope his healing is steady and quick. ...and your brother's health as well. I can just imagine all your wonderfully positive thoughts boarding a plane and flying to Malaysia to keep your husband company and cheer on his recovery. They'll visit your brother next, I'm sure of it! :)

Oh no! Dear Elsa I'm so sorry to hear your news about Bill's accident! The minute I read this the overwhelming memories of my father's fall in April shook me to the deepest parts of my being. So thankful he's going to recover and I'll bd sending lots of good thoughts for that recovery to be quick! Hang in there, it's SO SO HARD to be separated from a sick or injured loved one, I only wanted to be by my dad's side every minute of every day over those weeks I'm the hospital especially. Hugs!!
