July 4th Fireworks
Hope you enjoyed them, I made some of my own.
Long story short, I was cleaning gutters on the roof of my soooper secret North Georgia Mountain hideaway when the ladder gave way from under me.
Next thing I know, I’m lying on the ground 12 feet down, after trying to break my back on the fence railing (thank god the ladder saved me).
Stuck me in an Ambulence in trauma (neck and back brace) and ran me a good 30 minutes into Chattanooga. Spent the evening and most of the morning with the good folks at Memorial Hospital.
Just released, with some wicked bruising and pulled back (still having trouble breathing) and a weeks supply of narcotics and muscle relaxers.
More later . . . .

You’re supposed to stay on the ladder, not jump off like it’s a diving board.
In all seriousness, I hope your recovery is speedy!

Holy shit, dude.
Next time hire some homeless guy to do that…
Okay, I know, that was sick.
Get better soon, man!

Damn!! Gutters are teh Bayotch - there’s just not enough to hang on to that won’t come down with you. At least you did the Manly Thing instead of like me, tweaking your back bending over helping the wife with flowers…
