Re: Careful with ladders!
Harv- You are indeed blessed. As I think I mentioned earlier, my son fell 15 feet off a stationary ladder about 8 months ago and smashed up his foot really badly. He's had 2 surgeries on it and has one more to remove the last of the pins. He's got a small limp but the rehab regimen he's on should leave him OK. I fell off a ladder a number of years ago in my garden center. I was hanging very large Christmas wreaths in the display windows and the ladder tipped as I leaned over. I fell on to the endcap of our metal shelving, hitting my chest, then to the floor. Like you, I couldn't breath for a few minutes (it seemed like hours) and that was the scariest part. I went to the ER the next day and had fractured some ribs and torn some intercostal muscles. Hurt for months afterward. We are indeed being watched over. Stay healthy, my friend.
