While packing up to leave KY Lake.......
There should be a moratorium on the Geo doing stupid stuff a week before any trip.........
Yesterday while loading up to come back home from Kentucky Lake, I managed to trip and fall off my boat.
Thanks to my ninja like moves, I didn't faceplant on the pavement. Somehow, I managed to get a single hand up and in the air, grabbed the rail of my boat like a flying Wallinda (the ones that don't die), and changed my momentum from a full faceplant to a one handed dismount. How I ended up doing a half twist, cartwheel in the middle of the air is beyond me.
The folks in the other cabin surely thought they were the circus, because the dismount had to have been awesome.
The flying dismount , following the 1 legged STICK like an olympic gymnast was followed by the grand finale of rolling down the hill , ending up on my feet, and then looking around to see a gigantic family of hillbillies watching me.......Yea, it was awesome.
The best news, I'm OK. A little bruised, but OK. My reading glasses got crushed, my left arm, was practically ripped of socket, and I"m a little sore, but at least nothing is broken.
That's why I stopped fishing by myself
I feel in the boat and was OK but it made me think about what might happen if I broke a leg or arm or my neck.
I'm not as young and spry as I was when I was younger. The years go by faster the older you get and my legs are not as steady as they once were. I'm nursing a lost toenail on my foot right now. I Stubbed my big toe and had to have the toenail removed at the ER. I bleed for some time. They had to chemically cauterize the nail bed to get it to stop bleeding. I was on Opiates for a week and am finally recovering. Was cleared by the Doctor just last Thursday to take the bandages off. What did I do? I stubbed the SOB again on a old grill that I was trying to rebuild. Now it's back to the Doctor again. I have cancer and am getting a biopsy again tomorrow for the third time. I'm hoping that the cancer is not aggressive and slow growing and that I die from heart disease before cancer. Then I have to go see another doctor for my back. I hurt my back some years ago lifting my boat up off the trailer in order to fix a broken boat trailer axle. I'm still suffering from that accident from time to time when I stand in one place too long. It's no fun getting old.
