    Quick Check In

    Turned over on ladder. Black eye, 3 stitches in eye lid. Got lucky on that! Shattered both wrists. Surgery on each. Now have plates and screws in both hands, neither of which work too well. Hard to type so you probably won't hear from me much for a while unless I get really pissed off at a politician. Doesn't matter which side.

    Both hands?...I'd stay away from the chili and chocolate bars for awhile, or you'll wish you had some really good friends......Ben

    Damn Mike that's got to be painful. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

    ......unless I get really pissed off at a politician. Doesn't matter which side.
    Now that's funny.

    I didn't even have to waste money on a perfectly good airplane to jump out of. I should probably check out the elevations before my next base jump rhough.

    It is when both hands are in casts that you find out who your friends are, especially in the morning...

    I hope everything heals up. Rehab for hands is not really bad - I had a nice looking PT massaging my hands for 8 minutes each when I needed some hand surgery. Much more pleasant than other PT I've had.

    My wife does not let me get on a ladder alone. Yes, she's smarter than me.

    Dang man I guess I can look at the positive side of things and thank God you didn't break your neck or your spine. I'm sure you'll be fine once you get over the pain and having to be somewhat immobile.
    I'm sure that's going to drive you bats. Take care of yourself and look foward to getting that new tractor at some point.

    Them in addition to that really good friend to help you at that critical time in the morning, you'll need a really, really REALLY good friend to open it and then not drink it for you......Ben
