Ouch! I hope you feel better soon!

I'm listening to the various thunder storms passing over this evening. It's got my favourite type of thunder; the slow, rolling type which get louder and louder (as if it's coming closer) until you can physically feel the rumbling.

When you're feeling better you can to bars and talk about the other guy

Geeze dude!

Those collars are the most uncomfortable things! I spent about eight hours in one after a draft horse tripped while jumping a fence and kind of landed on my head

Must be nice having a small lawn, it takes me almost 4 hours to do ours

That's not a lawn. That's a field

Ouch! Sorry to hear that, hope you're firing on all cylinders again soon.

WT Sharpe · 05-11-2014, 05:55 PM

Thanks, everyone. I just wish reading didn't give ma a headache, but I believe that will soon pass.

Stitchawl · 05-11-2014, 07:58 PM

Sorry to hear that, Tom. Hope you heal up quickly. But do keep in mind that statistically, walking is one of the most dangerous activities. You're actually safer riding a a bicycle... on paper, at least!

Holy crow! Be careful out there, WT!!!

cromag · 05-11-2014, 09:31 PM

Me? I'm sitting up here in the computer room, waiting for my wife and daughter to get back from the airport. Last week was finals week. She'll only be home for a few days, though -- she has an internship for the summer, a few hours away. She already has an apartment lined up.

ProfCrash · 05-11-2014, 09:34 PM

Yikes. Feel better soon

pholy · 05-11-2014, 10:09 PM

Sorry to hear about your travails, WT. If it comforts you (it does me), you aren't the only one. In the past two years I have tripped and fallen at least three times, over a low curb, a bump in a parking lot, and a pot hole by a bus stop. The only thing that saved my head was learning to ski at 40+ -- I learned how to fall and roll with my head up. Boy, I did a lot of falling then!
Would listening to books be easier?

Dr. Drib · 05-11-2014, 10:40 PM

Wow, Tom.

I hope you get to feeling better.

Please take care of yourself.

Gazella · 05-12-2014, 12:06 AM

Whoa. I hope you get well soon, WT Sharpe!

Hiding in study with morning coffee. The cat had broken his own record in "drag flower pot contents along living room floor" and wife is at large

HarryT · 05-12-2014, 03:39 AM

You really need to keep away from these high-risk activities, Tom. Take up a nice safe hobby, like base jumping

.

Hope you get better soon - it looks pretty painful
