Stay off of ladders:(

Bill, that is a terrible story. The car is nothing, it car be fixed. The time spent healing instead of enjoying your self is the real loss. I hope this is the last of you and ladders. I thought this was going to be another and then the ladder slipped stories, they are very common. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope the drugs get tossed fairly quickly.

I wish you a speedy recovery Bill, your absolutlry right we need to be careful at our age , because of things like this, in my last 4-5 years I couldn't go up in the Derrick anymore , leaning out , or standing too quick sometimes got me dizzy , and not much to hang on to up there. You were in the medical field I won't even pretend to tell you what to look out for and I wish you all the speed in healing. Get well my friend. Tc

Ouch, indeed. Sorry to hear of your accident but I suppose you should be thankful - the outcome could have been far worse. I'm glad to hear that you can still shave and hope that you have a full recovery.

Tack

Wish you the best Bill, that's some nasty news, stay off your feet and give yourself the time you need to get healthy - all the best.

My grandmother used to climb ladders to rake snow off of her roof in Minnesota winters until she was in her late 70's.

Stupidity and stubbornness may run in my family.

Bill I hope you have a speedy recovery. I'm glad that it was not worse for you and that it was only life lesson.
