Ouch! Man that’s is horrible. I don’t do ladders anymore. I hope you recover quickly.

The bar stool slid like lightening on the hardwood floor and off I land on my back, hit my head on the floor, with my right leg getting caught up in stools support braces.

I was fine after the fall, but my right leg turned bright red from severe hematoma, but I could walk on it fine -- mowed the yard in fact a few days later. Then 5-6 days after, I couldn't walk on it.

I was supposed to attend AXPONA & the day before the flight, it took me an hour to get out of bed on the 2d floor & downstairs to the screened in porch.
Cancelled the flight within that hour.

Went in for x-rays at Urgent care and 6 showed nothing. A few days later, with severe pain, I went to an orthopedic group and after 15 x-rays: no hairline cracks nor after a sonic scan, no buildup of clot material.

It will just take time - 4-7 weeks. Without the assistance of a walker a friend lent, I'd be in stationary.

Of course, in hindsight, I have 3 Werner ladders and 2 stepstools, but the bar stool was a quick solution I've used many "lucky" times before.

Since the incident, I've learned how lucky I was. A friends dad fell off a 2-foot ladder, broke 3 ribs and punctured a lung. Another reported a friend of theirs fell off a 4-foot ladder in the kitchen, hit his head on the granite countertop, broke his neck & died 2 days later. Finally, another, losing his balance on a 4-foot ladder, again in the kitchen, fell and is a quadriplegic today. He's 38.

Morale of the story - be careful: ladders can be widow makers & know your limitations. It does suck getting old -- but amends of injured take longer too.

Thanks again. I had no idea Walmart offered this service.

Anyone here ever use B&H Photo? Somewhat fabled New York photo store - I have used them for many years for almost all non-audio electronics and anything photographic. Excellent source, pricing and customer service in my experience.

They offer a 110" Samsung for a cool $150K. But JoeN does not like Samsung, so I shopped for him and found a 97" LG OLED. Let me know how you like it.

But seriously, give B&H a look.

Thanks for shopping for me. But for the price of that TV I could purchase another cable for my 2 channel system.
