Every time I fall, I black out before I hit the ground. Kinda weird, but I kinda prefer it that way. Every time? LOL!

This is beating the [Please excuse my language... I'm an idiot] out of me!I will heal quickly however and I assure everyone I have learned a valuable lesson. OK, I have to add a little to this. Steve, I don't know your age but I haven't thought of you as a skipper. Correct me if I'm wrong. We all like to think of ourselves as indestructible. We're not. From the description of the injury, I'd say this is one you'll feel for the rest of your life. We all heal up but seldom do grown men heal up 100%. You'll adjust to the injury though. I'm sure you've learned a valuable lesson but there are more lessons to come. Take it slow. Don't push an injury like this. The more time you give it to heal now will determine how much grief it gives you in the future. I wish you all the best. The above advice is from a guy who didn't listen to advice.

I hope you get well soon...
When accidents happen, I try to get into the habit of figuring out what went wrong, so we can learn from it. Just wondering...was the floor uneven...oily...were the ladder feet in good shape?
