I have been very lucky

And it was all luck, because skill and grace had nothing to do with it- I have been lucky never to have harmed myself more than I have, a few fractured bones and some scars, sometimes from doing some pretty stupid things (“Why aren’t you dead?” from the ER doc) but most of the time I was in condition enough to drive myself to the ER or even stitch myself up. I never hurt myself badly enough to merit being hauled off on a backboard, and that is a very good thing.

On the other hand sometimes the casts or wraps or splints were pretty confining, and each time I park my hiney in the smallest room in the house, I thank my Creator that I can still do so myself without anyone’s assistance, and I hope that situation remains the same for the rest of the time I’m using this body, worn as it is.

Snowmageddon 2013

One day of bad weather and one snowblowing. Warm next couple days. It can be spring anytime now, that would be fine.
