Brian’s Day Took a Shocking Turn — What Happened Next Will Surprise You!
Brian:
My dogs were dancing around me like I had just done a funny trick. They thought it was a hoot. We are now suspecting that it may have been Tank bumping into the ladder that caused it to shift. He’s stupid like that.
I don’t know if this is something that everyone does, but when I’m hurt, I start a mental “status check” to figure out how bad things are. Since I was laying there, not doing much more than hurting really bad, it seemed like the right time to go through this exercise.
I was yelling and I hurt, so I was conscious, thank God. I wiggled my fingers and toes, so no immediate spinal cord damage, thank God. I knew what had happened and quickly went over what day it was and some other little tidbits of info. I could also see and hear, so no obvious brain damage. My upper back hurt like hell – possible fractures to the upper vertebrae. The pain was quickly spreading outward around my sides – possible rib fractures. My lower back was on fire – definitely something wrong there. Cracked tailbone?? Then I tried straightening out my legs. Lightning bolts coursed through my left hip. So, I kept my left leg bent and out to the side. Hip fracture – I was pretty certain.
