Ok James feels and looks like he has been hit by a truck... Here is what happened.
 
It's Saturday and were off to see a old freind we haveent seen in oh 6 years long story! Well he owns a couple of restrants so off to sample the food and it was fantastic. Oh were moving he said to above the restrant want to see the flat so up we go a long staircase with very small steps and it brances off like a Y to two different rooms.
Looks great still just being finished off so dust and stuff everywhere so we try and cross over the stairs and of course no hand rail and yup i mised the step...
 
Que superman impression cape flapping in the wind and enougth time to say the prayer 'For what im about to recive it's really going to ....' HURT
 
James half way throught a door split with the impact covered in glass and im out for the count the pain went off the chart to fade to black.
 
6 hours later in hospital i managed to get away with only a bit more compression on L1& 2 so im shorter again and ohh lots of intresting bruses and a couple of snaped ribs so i basicly got really lucky for a change. Oh and i love morphine i have a nice nurce come and jab me every so often so im comfortable' ish ... so what's everyones weekend like? Dont worry i dont need the sympathy i know it's my own stupid fault...

All I can say, James, is, your friend is lucky he's your friend, or he'd be waiting on a lawsuit about now. And I'm VERY glad they gave you morphine for the pain! I've had it after surgery, and it's lovely stuff, indeed. It's easy to see why people get addicted to it. : ) I'm guessing your friend is going to think several times before inviting anyone else up to his flat again, though! LOL At least not before he takes some safety precautions! Good. Hope you feel lots better soon; broken ribs are no fun at all.

Cyndy

James are you an accident looking for a place to happen? I'm sorry to hear of your misadventure.. Hope all the pain and bruises go away quickly. What else is happening across the pond? Winter has started here in Tennessee. I had to go out and break the ice on the bird bath again this morning. Take care of yourself and be more careful.  lots of love gramanan

James....So sorry to hear you got hurt...and are hurting SO badly.  I cannot believe your friend took you up there though....or that you actually went up there!  You should have known.  Okay, enough reprocussions.....lol.
 
Feel better....and enjoy that morphine while you can...lol.  Wish it had that effect on me!!!
 
Feel better, James....and please let us know how you are doing.
Hugz,
Dee

Hi Dan and CrystalSunflowers,
 
Ha talented twit maybe look at some of Adams posts i can do funny sometimes he has real talent.
 
Dan yup they gave me the good stuff and wanted me out there nice hospital so they had to do a deal and arange a district nurce to see me a couple of times a day it's stopped now  Sometimes we get it right but it's a matter of knowing the system and having a Partner who doesnt take any prisnors these days!

Sigh. I just know I would love England. I watch the real estate channel that has people house hunting in the UK, and I love the old houses there. Canada just isn't old enough to have a lot of really old houses. 4 fireplaces and wind blowing in the trees, sounds wonderful.
We have snow on the ground here now.
Anyways, hope you continue to mend and will soon feel better.

So a lovely 17th centry wood building sourounded by woods so how you are thinking of the UK. Here in Bexhill it's a small town were on top of a hill looking down on a bay so lovely views and a nice big garden with a fishpond veg patch and far to much to weed and cut the dang grass.

<Theme-song to the Wide World of Sports plays>
 
Kurt Gowdy:  Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to the first annual invitational "Fosters Beer, Saint Reginold, Order of the Purple Nose" stair diving championship.  It's a fine day for competition with the wind blowing in from the West and the temperature hovering around a pleasant 70 degrees farenheit. 
 
Cesil Palin:   That's right Kurt, and what a show we have in store for our audience!  The fans are absolutely electric with excitement. <fans are doing the wave>  A capacity croud with some fans hailing from as far away as Kiwiland and such exotic regeions as Utah! 
 
Kurt:  I understand, Cesil, todays course was designed by the Great Grandson of the late great Buster Keaton.  The stairs are sporting the legendary "Y" of death - ironically enough an exact replica as the stairs used in the Helsinki event before Yonnish Helgafelter was disqualified after losing his right shoe and wound up plowing through the drywall.  As you well know that is well out of bounds.  <chuckle, chuckle>  That reminds me of a story back in...
 
Cesil:  Sorry to cut you off but our reigning champion James (Gravity-Man) Downden-schplatten.  Known as Litchuk to his closest friends -
 
Kurt:  As I understand it, Cesil, Litchuk was a name given to James by a medicine man from the Shoshone tribe called Looks like a Big Bear, after an outing James spent with them on a vision quest to hone his skills as an athlete last season.  I'm told it means; "He who dances on face". 
 
Cesil:   umm, yeah. <crowd cheering>  Kurt, James has approached the launch flat and is waving to the crowd.  He is displaying a winning smile and his trade-mark tumbs-up. 
 
Kurt:   <Ha ha ha> This is an athletes-athlete!  He exudes confidence and style.  Even after the West Doechester incident, which left him with a nasty limp James moves as though he knows this is his house and he owns the stairs.
 
Cesil:  Yes, Kurt, his house indeed!  Never before has an athlete inspired such devotion from his fans.  On the way in I saw a group of college age fans burning "Litchuk" on their posterior-*
 
Kurt:   Sorry to interrupt you Ces. but James has indicated he's ready to go.  If the practice runs are any indication of todays' performance he should be attempting his patented Superman with a full twist and land with a MaryLou Retton.  It should be breath-taking.  The judges are motioning to the crowd to quiet down.  <camera shutters click wildly away>  James has both arms extended beside him.  He is relaxing, working on correct breathing...
 
Cesil:  At this time it is vital he keep his concentration.
 
Kurt:  James has nodded his head,..  He bends slightly at the knees,..  and LAUNCH!  What form!  What grace!  His position is perfect! 
 
<an air horn blasts> 
 
Cesil:  OH NO!!! <screams from the crowd>  He has mis-judged the stair placement and is headed for disaster!  James has contorted into a death-wobble and is headed for the glass door!  Fans and judges alike are screaming and diving for cover!  <B-29 power diving and crashing sound effects>  OH THE HUMANITY< OH THE HUMANITY!
 
Kurt:   It appears several of the female fans have fainted!  It is a vision of carnage unlike anything I've ever witnessed before!  <Brittish siren: Blahh Bohhh Blahh Bohhh Blahh Bohhh Blahh Bohhh Blahh Bohhh Blahh Bohhh Blahh Bohhh Blahh Bohhh > Glass every where!  Sirens!  Explosions!  Representatives from several fire and rescue agencies are converging on what can only be described as a slaughter house!
 
Cesil:  Please stay tuned - we have to go to a commercial break!  More details on James condition when we return.
 
 
Announcer:  Homeowners.  Are you ever plagued by dusty slippery environments?  Does your staircase fill you with dread?  New Martha Stewart's Design inflatable staircase safety air bags are here to keep you and your loved ones safe from the ravages of gravity.......
 
- sorry about the ribs, I just couldn't resist...
Adam

    Well you sure got lucky on that one my boy! Sounds like you got by with the skin of your teeth, but they might have a bit of road rash! It's good they gave you something for pain, but even morphine fails to give me that nice calm buzz or relaxed feeling everyone enjoys hahahaha! It does kill my pain, but I have yet to be high off of any pain meds. I just get rid of the pain and have to much energy to sit.
    I can share a close call with you that happened last week though. It might not make you laugh, but it will raise your eyebrows!!! I was getting ready to put away a nice horse where I work, one of the better race horses and I was trying to square her up before I took her thru the door of the stall. By squaring up, I mean lining her up to go thru the entrance so she wouldn't bump her body against the sides of the doorway. Well she was a bit hesitant and stopped so I was just talking quiet too her because you don't want them spooking and running you down, that's how a soul gets hurt hahahaha!
    Well one of the bigger baggarts who's ego is way to big for me to like him was standing there and he did something really stupid! I mean killer stupid! Instead of staying quiet, the boy reached over and popped that horse on the butt and hollers at her! Well that horse exploded and I was lifted clean off the floor and me and that old horse went inside of a 10 by 10 foot wooden sides and there is not climbing out the sides of it! But I was fortunate enough I was able to push off the horse's neck and ended up against the side of the stall wall with a huge thud. It hurt, but lol, not near like what you got hurt, I was just sore for a couple of days.
   It cut the mare on the hip though because she hit her hip on the stall door when she went exploding thru. Well the boy knew he messed up and he was backing way down the aisle when I came out of that stall ready to pound his head! I told him he was stupid and lucky he didn't kill me or hurt the horse more! I kept my feet moving too because if I had of stopped, I would have beat the boy bloody right then and there! Lord knows I was hot,  really hot!   
    But it must have been a sight, they said I flew and they heard me hit! But I don't think there was one man standing there and there were five of them at least that knew what to say to this girl when I came out of that stall! I was out for blood, and I could have stuck a pig and bled it out and served it up on the spot I was so mad! I think I scared the heck out of them all!!
    Well I won't say what I told my boss was Christian either when he met me in front of the barn either. My old mouth was saying stuff that I don't think a man ever heard come out of a woman's mouth! But I was hot and I don't get mad like that very often. But I kept telling that boy he was doing to much bragging and not paying enough attention and was going to get someone hurt and he did, me! That was a bad mistake, real bad! LOL, he still keeps a lot of space between him and me! I haven't made up my mind yet if he has a lesson coming or not, but he may eat the wheel barrow of horse doody for breakfast one day! I figure I will take my time before I get my revenge, gotta make it look like an accident like he tried to make it look like.
   But lol, those older men sure gave him hell all day too. The boy had to bite it off with the boss too cause that's one of our winning horses he hurt! But today the boy started telling me again how much he knows so I am gonna stay in any barn he isn't in to say the least! This boy wants to be a big time trainer and he ain't got the sense of a cow's butt when it skitters! Skitters are what they call it when  cow has dirreah lol! Well the boy might have skitters for brains! Nah, skitters got more sense than that hahahaha!
     So just be careful my friend, you just don't know what dangers lay behind and around doors. Be it a door to a room or building or a door to a stall, always keep your eyes open and your smarts on! It's the one thing that will save your life and keep you from getting hurt worse! Hope your pain gets better.
   I didn't bother going to see the doc, I have enough pain meds as it is. I think I have hurt for so long that a little more pain doesn't bother me too much anymore. LOL, I might be a little thick between the ears too. Yep, I think everyone here will agree with that one!
