update: I'm out of the hospital (Patreon)

so, there I was, putting trim up around the door, the last of the renovation to be done and as I am putting up the top piece I notice there is a half inch gap. So it seems that I put up the trim slightly out of line and since I both glued and nailed the trim up I decided I could just saw that half inch off and it would work just fine.

fast forward a few minutes as I am up in the air by 7 feet, circular saw set to depth and sawing away.

anyone see the problem.

sigh

so the saw kicks me off the ladder. I go flying backwards through the air and and land back down on the rock pile and my head snaps back into the old 6 x 8 wood means leaning against the fence waiting to be broken down to be put into the new raised garden beds as bottom filler.

For those familiar with how much area a surgical staple covers, my head now has 25 of them.

The only good thing is they did not life flight me to a trauma center, just kept me a week for observation and multiple cat scans and watched my heart very carefully while making sure to replace all the blood I lost by fluids. it was a close call on whether they were going to have to end up giving me a blood transfusion. hence the xtra time in the hospital as they would not release me until i could sit up and then stand without passing out.
