he might consider a HurryCane like mine, which I used
when I broke my leg!!! -- j

and laugh? -- j

reminds me of Heinlein -- ""Of course the game is rigged,
but if you don't bet, you can't win." -- j

Hope all is better. It's good when we can laugh at ourselves when we're in pain. It sort of like politics, even thought it's painful we just gotta laugh.

Well, that's how it goes sometimes. An 81-year-
old man is interested in Objectivism? I'm glad of
that, anyway.

That is a great description: I can imagine you in the bin, arms and legs sticking out as if you were a turtle on your back and the bin was your shell. Arms and legs waving slightly.

You actually came out of this in good shape - and you should be back to normal in no time. (If you start to have problems with balance, you might consider yoga or Tai Chi - these can restore mobility and balance to people (young or old) without putting stress on your body.)

Take care.

New brand of Solyent Green; arrives automatically well-seasoned - with herbs.

Oh...so sorry...and SO FUNNY!
Kinda gives a whole new meaning to the term "dumpster dive".
If it's any consolation, I have had similar moments and wish that the camera would have been rolling.
Sometimes my foolishness is a money-making proposition.😉

Holy Sh..!
You make me feel like an amateur.

The game may be rigged, but you can't win if you don't play.

Thank you JB.

Oh it was pretty funny. Even though I'm in a bit of pain. I had this vision of the EMS guys just putting me out by the curb for the recycle truck to pick up. Thank goodness they were the real thing.

You can't keep a productive person from producing.

yessir -- there's golden and there's years;;; may the twain meet soon!!! -- j

p.s. my golden is hidden here in the house somewhere. . it was
in a safe deposit box until I learned of eminent domain for those.

I saw that movie, wasn't it called "Soylent Green"? I do appreciate your story, it made me laugh, almost as much as the aftermath of the debates. It"s odd how we laugh at things that really aren't funny at all.

You did a lot better than I. Managed to break ankle in three places, then fell off crutches a few days later and broke a hip. Got an infection from surgery to fix the above and finally seem to be on the mend.

LOL!

Thanks, Dino.
Don't take too much calcium. In old folks it causes mega constipation.
So far, my brain is functioning well. As Woody Allen put it, "My brain is my second favorite organ."

I hope you are feeling much better. I can sympathize, I was attacked by a sweeper a few years ago at 50, and broke my elbow. I had worked, come hoe, did some sweeping, but grabbed a cup of tea before bed. As I took the cup to the kitchen, cup in one hand, book in the other, that sweeper grabbed my foot and I went down. I went back to work as a reporter in a cast two days later, and found the cast restricted my hand. So, like "Urban Cowboy", I found myself in the garage at 10 p.m. having my husband cut the part of the cast over my hand off. I was then back in business, lugging a laptop out on interview until it came off six weeks later.

Got back up. Using a walker.

Thank you, John. These are the golden years, don'tcha know.

Thank you.

These guys were friendly, caring, and seemed sincerely wanting to help. I imagine they encounter some pretty bizarre things compared to my rather embarrassing indignity.

Well, then I'm glad that they did the right thing.
