Well I'm up and around enough to sit up with a laptop and catch up on email.


 

I was using a 12 ft step ladder to clear branches away from my guys when it
collapsed under me.  Guess I hit the ground pretty hard and Fran found me
passed out on the ground.  Flew me out to Iowa City trauma center - frequent
flier - I was there 20 plus years ago after a car accident).  Got me back to
the Quad Cities for rehab and I was acing all the tests but with heavy
opioids and that really messed me up so I landed back in the hospital after
2 days and have been there ever since.    

 

Now for canned cut and paste part:

 

Just getting on the computer for the first time since 5/9 when the ladder
broke on me. 4 broken vertebrae but non surgical and stable, 6 broken ribs
and 13 staples in my scalp. Just don't bounce as good as I used to!  Back
brace for the next few weeks.  Nerve damage in my left leg is the worst part
but getting better.  Still in hospital since the opioids messed up my
digestive tract but probably home tomorrow all goes well  - doing good in
rehab and can walk unassisted etc etc but still with a lot of pain since I
had to stop doing the really heavy pain killer stuff.  Getting stronger
every day!

 

Thanks for the good wishes!!!
