Glad to hear you're doing relatively well. What a scare though....
My sister was standing on a tall stepladder and fell off and even though she landed pretty well, she chipped her elbow and still to this day can't straighten her arm up all the way.

Also, be careful on 5 gallon buckets...I've been guilty of this several times thinking I didn't really need a "real ladder". Too lazy to get one. And the bucket was handy. Last time I fell down in the garage and landed with a wreath stand (wrought iron with a big hook on the front on a 5 lb base) stuck into my ribs on the left side right through my T shirt. The dr said it missed my heart by a couple of inches. That was about a month ago and I still have a big knot there that hurts like crazy when I bump it on anything.
Hope you get better real soon!
