I had to laugh a little at this...!!

I do hope you heel up quick though!

(Now, you just need a 'good' story to tell people.. "I was mauled by Sasquach while hiking the AT...")

Damn Chuck glad you're alright! I didn't even know that there is an artery in your forward head... Did you happen to ask the Doc if it's the type of artery that could be fatal? That's a crazy story!

Ye see the circle? That's the temporal artery. Excelent to take someone's pulse. Although Chuck probably got another now that I thinkaboutit.

Dude, that's an insane story! Wow, I bet it was a real mess. Glad you're not seriously hurt, too!

Kumar it would be nice if you could stop being such as smart ass until my head stops pounding.
Ha-ha, good luck with all that! :pokemyeye

Wow, glad you're OK and have an amusing story to tell us. I'm sure there is a lesson for all of us here somewhere. Don't smoke an Oliva V before climbing ladders in your garage? Nope. A near death experience is a good reason to smoke a cigar? As if any of us need a reason.

Sorry to hear, Chuck! Hope it heals quickly, and it's good to see that the injury didn't interrupt your cigar smoking!

That sucks, man. Glad you're okay! Good thing your son had the presence of mind to bring you straight to the ER...you don't mess around with head wounds, not ever.

Take it REAL easy now. Anemia is very tiring.

Glad your ornery arse is still with us, bro! lol

Hope you feel better Chuck, don't feel bad I was unwinding an extension cord once and it was a little tangled so when I threw the end of it out to unwind it the prong end whipped back and stuck me in the head. I was bleeding all over the place I had to go home to get the bleeding to stop because I was in a customers garage nonetheless. I hope my story makes you feel a little better. Because there's nothing like inadvertently harpooning yourself with an extension cord, no glory in that one.

I'm glad you did not bleed to death!! I take Coumadin, so I would have been really screwed. Those racks will get you. Yesterday Kumar was at my house while I was installing one yesterday. Luckily I was not injured...this time. The last time (with Kumar) I lost 1/2 of a finger nail and a nasty infection.

Note to members:

When on a ladder, don not have a cigar in your mouth, do not drink beer, and use tools.

No worries about the sale Chuckles, the Angels already sold.

Take care of your head and get well amigo.
The funny part was trying to focus on the damn Blackberry and release the trade. Finally the charge nurse took it away and starts giving me a lecture. I gave her a ration about some little scratch and she gets a mirror. No wonder I got right in.:stretchgr Looked like the last survivor to a knife fight.

So stupid. I am th eonly person I know that can knock himself out going up a ladder versus falling off.:bouncetau

They gave me vicodin last night but I hate the stuff. Went to work and then realized how dumb that was so came back home. Thanks for the well wishes.
