what an unfortunate break.........literally

My sympathies. This summer I was selling a little old lathe I had. Rolled the bed down the two concrete back steps on a truck and successfully had it "down," and I lost my balance and started forward. I made a frantic leap to avoid falling on the bed and concrete, and leaped over it, only to fall on the grass beyond.

DAMN that ground was hard. My arms aren't very strong, anymore, and I "tapped" my forehead hard enough on the grass to draw blood "from the imprint."

I must'ha cracked a rib, I was sore for a good part of the summer.

"They" warn us "old people" about falls, but "we just don't get it."
