Bad week! Hopefully over now.

Last saturday climbing up a small tower to repair my zipline I found a construction defect in my fathers workmanship. I climbed up the back of the tower and grabbed the top rail and began to squat press myself up. When all of a sudden I was in a road runner cartoon (top rail came off under the load of me) I swear I floated in mid air for 3 or 4 seconds before falling . Then I waved bye bye and landed 9 or 10 feet later on my fanny.

I thought all was well and was surprised at the lack of pain. Next morning though Yeooooowwwww. My lower back told me that I should not jump off towers on my butt any more.

A week later I was starting to be able to drive with out pain again and I stepped on a piece of bambu through the tough leathery protective skin. Dirt impacted wayyyy deep in so I had to pry it open and wash it out. Thank god I had a little lidocaine which I applied topically.

So now walking on my defective foot is throwing my back out again.


Note: to self when cleaning out a deep wound with a waterpick set on ultra low make sure wife has not put listerine in it

peroxide oh glorious Peroxide, how much do I love the. Sometimes you sting as you cleanse me. All clear and nice and
bubbly on dirt makes it worth the stinging and hurt.

That stuff rocks.

So, that famous Epidemic voracious curiosity had you up a tower in a Road Runner cartoon, eh? YOW! I'm glad all you fell on was your butt! That sticker through the foot, OW OW OW... Hope you feel better soon, but....

Maybe this whole thing was a message, eh?
