8/4/2005 - Stupid Clumsy Me
So, I started this day out with a bang, or is it a thud?
I got up, gathered up my clothes for the day and headed
downstairs to feed the cat (our black cat Raven) and take a shower and
feed myself. I got to about the seventh step up from the bottom
and slid and fell like a freakin' cartoon character. I landed on
my back on the bottom six or so steps and heard a nasty "crunch" as I
landed. Great. Just wonderful.
My wife called the ambulance and made sure I didn't move out of fear
I'd done some really bad damage. Good thing she's smart for me
because my stupid testosterone/adrenaline was telling me "just get up
and get going again", just like I did when I threw my back out last
October hauling the birdbath (concrete birdbath) around without help.
So, the paramedics put me on one of those hard plastic boards and loaded me onto a stretcher and drove me to the hospital.
Two sets of x-rays and a shot of something for the pain, and I'm
basically ok. They found an old injury that I never knew about...
a previously fractured verterbrae that had long ago healed up.
Thankfully, there were no new problems, so they set me loose on the
world again, with prescriptions for Vicodan and muscle relaxers and
instructions to take it easy for a few days.
I am not one to usually take painkillers, but this time, I hurt so freakin bad I'm just gonna do it.
Looks like no prop work this weekend.
