Re: So this happened last night.
Good luck with your surgery Dahlia. Glad you have two good men to help you with it. Hoping for the best outcome.
As an aside, and the cast on your leg notwithstanding, I love your bedroom furniture. Beautiful wood.

Feel for you. It sucks, recovering from any injury. God Bless you and bring you back to health.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

A fall? No no no. You need a much better story than that.

Re: So this happened last night.
Been there/Done that. Hope your injury isn't as bad as mine was. I can't remember now, I either fell on a slippery deck or Tina shattered my femur with a lead pipe for mouthing off.
Seriously, it was one or the other for sure...
I'm old, memory isn't that good. It hurt though.

Good luck with the surgery, when you fell were you chasing Bigfoot with a Viking sword?

Re: So this happened last night.
Marine I like the way to think.
I was coming down metal stairs at my local whole foods, and slipped off the last 2. Steel steps+ concrete floor+ rain = dislocation, fractures and a break.
Hmmm I tackled a train, Aha! I looked at Chuck Norris funny... Let's get a better story!

Re: So this happened last night.
I broke the femur in half just above the fake knee, then spiral fracture from knee to hip. Five hour rebuild, eighteen inch steel plate, thirteen screws, three steel zip ties. Month in the hospital, five months relearning to walk. I don't do stuff halfway.Dahliathemeh wrote: ↑Wed Feb 02, 2022 6:51 pmMarine I like the way to think.

Best of luck, hope your surgery and recovery are much quicker.

Re: So this happened last night.
Let me help.
You are an ex-Texas Ranger, the first woman to wear the badge. You were pushing a big herd north to Montana, and out scouting one day you came across a herd of buffalo. You decided to chase them just for the fun of it, because one day there won't be any buffalo left to chase, when over the first hill you came across a little band of Sioux warriors. After they shot some arrows into your leg, you outran them on your horse to a small gulley where you took cover. There was a fierce firefight and during the night the Sioux finally gave up and left taking your horse with them. Next morning you crawled out of the dirt bank where you made your last stand, pulled the arrows out and walked 40 miles to town using your Henry rifle as a crutch.
Totally believable, and would make a great movie I think.
