Scared the hell out of me; at my age it's bad news to break a hip. We get old, we get careless. |

12 Jun 13 - 08:47 AM (#3525573) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall took a header From: Bat Goddess My wake-up call was almost 6 years ago when I broke my arm because I was in a hurry. But I was a kid of 58 then...and Tom could not only still see, but had his voice and had no problems walking... I HAVE to be careful and I'm reminded of it constantly. I just helped Tom to the table (from his bed) because he couldn't see. He couldn't see my face in front of him when I went to kiss him. Not only can he no longer take care of me if I do something stupid, but he'd have no one to take care of HIM (but strangers). So, ultimately my broken arm was a good thing -- it made me very aware that I can no longer take the chances of youth. I have to keep myself safe so Tom can, too, be safe. Now...STOP SCARING THE CRAP OUT OF JACQUI!!!! Linn |

12 Jun 13 - 10:15 PM (#3525850) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall took a header From: Little Hawk Yessir. I am getting a bit wary of the possibility of falling too. I fell down a flight of stairs when I was 20-something, simply missed the top step for some reason, and it hurt me in about 7 or 8 different places, but nothing got broken. If it happened now, I shudder to think what it would do to me. |

13 Jun 13 - 08:02 AM (#3525952) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall took a header From: Deckman I thought I'd join this conversation with my own horror story that just happenned. I recently had to MC a concert at our local library, and afterwards I picked up a couple of guitars to help carry the performer's many instruments to their car. These guitars and cases were the heaviest darned things I'd every seen. As I picked them up, my right foot snapped. I've been wearing a three thousand pound "walking cast" for a month now. Next week I'll get the foot x-rayed again, and we'll see where we go from there. At first I thought the problem was heavy guitars, but now I realize the real problem is that I've just lived too long. So besides mechanic's creepers, avoid guitars! bob(deckman)nelson |
