Yesterday I backed the truck up to a tree I need to cut down. While I was cutting branches I ended up falling out of the bed. Broke four ribs and cracked a fifth. Doc was impressed I didn't end up dead! Since I'm over 65 the nurse had to do a fall report. Now that there was silly in this case.

Sorry to hear that. I learned that over 65 you don't admit to anything.

And I can't get up.
Cracked and broken ribs are just about the worst.

Broken ribs don't feel good at all. Sounds like something I would do. My mind is always writing checks that my body can't cash. Did you tell the nurse you fell jumping out of the bedroom window because your girlfriend's husband came home early?

I broke 5 ribs in an accident so I know your pain. Will pray for speedy recovery. I put gas in my truck last night and stuck my card in the paper receipt space and had to get help to get it back out. Yes I felt really stupid, but the attendant insisted it happens all the time.

Thank you guys for all of your concern and the chuckles, it helps. I found that if I sniff it hurts all the way down my body. Who woulda ever thought your nose used that many muscles! I've just been taking pain meds and the doc also prescribed these patches you put on where it hurts, they have lidacaine on them and they help a lot. If I go to bed and lay on my back that's the way I will wake up, no tossen and turnin. Sure gonna be a rough six weeks to heal, but I bet the pain decreases week to week, at least I'm hoping!

I too hope you heal fast...I know that kinda pain too...uh...from doing something else that I won't mention here! I did find that having a flatbed onna pickup works well when trimming/cutting trees! with my bad back, sometimes I use my one truck to lean against while cutting a tree with a saw, have never dropped a tree on it yet!

Prayers for quick healing John. Next time don't forget to tie yourself into truck so you can't fall out. When I was a youngster, several times I would fall off a wagon while shoveling off corn or beans. Guess I would get so concentrated on the work I would back up, hit the side of the wagon and out I would go. Glad I'm not so dedicated to my work these days.

When you find yourself in a hole,PUT DOWN THE SHOVEL!!!

Sorry to hear of your accident. When working for MDOT the safety people told us to always work smarter! One older employee up in the high lift dropped a limb on the bed of the truck where another employee had just put a brand new chainsaw! Smashed that saw! And the man doing the cutting was our safety coordinator! Nobody liked to work around him as he was dangerous! If you wanted to work safe stay away from Pat!

I know how that feels I was unloading some scrap iron from pkup picked up an old plow bottom was about 60 pounds there was a piece of rod on it that caught in the front pocket of the heavy jacket it had on and when I threw it over the side it took me with it landed on top of it. Friends still laugh but I didn't think it was so funny at the time.

John you are not the only one. Last weekend I was on the four wheeler with the 4 year old grandson and he wanted to drive. That was a mistake as he nailed the throttle. I went off the back and he fell off the side. I got road rash on my back and sore from head to foot and he got a bump on the head. Lesson learned.
