It doesn't happen often and I can't even remember the last time but yesterday I saw the light. Actually it was several little lights that looked like miniature stars. Immediately before this sight I was helping bring an encapsulate piece of foam out of the water onto a trailer backed in at Davy's boat ramp. As I made a step into the water covered part of the ramp I heard a huge bang and bamo, there were the stars. That was a very slippery step after which I found myself getting up with a sore shin, bloody elbow and a renewed knowledge as to how venerable man is and just how quickly shit can happen.
To me the step and the bang when my head hit the concrete flashing me the stars was all at the same instant. At least I can't conjure up any conscious thought or movement between the step and the bang. Next thing I knew I was all wet and trying to get up. No I didn't, the water that wet me up was supplied by the lake...........I think.
I've had a back problem for several weeks now but was making some headway in getting it better, however this morning I notice this area has had a relapse and seems to have been able to drag some of the adjoining areas into the fray with it. Tho my elbow area doesn't seem to be a problem I can't say the same for my scabbed up shin. Ugg! Pain is just about the nastiest four letter word that I know.
Looky here now, along with looking forward to every new day and the things that come with it, I have added the biggie of being well again. I'm overweight and have a sore back but I am still able to carry a huge load of thankfulness for all our blessings and also for what the fall could have been but wasn't.
Whew, looks like I only have me on my mind this morning...........Sorry about that.
