My sincerest and heartfelt thank you for all of the well wishes and offers of help from the locals. I’m not good enough to convey in words how much it meant to me, but it was truly incredible. Luckily, for me I don’t think it was my time. My face will probably have a few scars, but the plastic surgeon was great and my head is feeling much better. The Dr. was pretty impressed that I didn’t fracture any bones, particularly in my face, and I didn’t even knock any teeth out. Honestly, I don’t see how it could have turned out any better than it did.
I was getting boxes out of my storage loft in the garage and as I started to descend on the ladder the feet slipped out. I’m not sure why, but maybe because it’s been so darn cold here. As the ladder went down, I tried to grab the floor of the loft, but that just swung my body so I was falling with my back parallel to the floor. I remember hitting the back of my head and that’s about it until I knew I had to roll myself up and get some help. After looking in the garage, I believe that the back of my head actually hit the hood of my truck, which knocked me out. Then I must have flopped off of the truck and face planted on the ladder which was on the concrete floor. Luckily one of the boxes was under the ladder which probably softened the blow.
Anyhow, it was a good perspective builder and I couldn’t be luckier to have such an amazing family, friends, and neighbors. I also feel fortunate that there are so many healthcare professionals that do what they do.
Thanks again everyone I’ll be getting back to this car shortly.
