    Long story short

    thanks to tunnel vision and crapola peripheral vision of my one eye, I missed the bottom step on a flight of stairs yet again, but this time I went down hard. Broke my right hip. Emergency surgery was slightly complicated but I'm on the mend. Hurts to sit too long at computer so I'm copy and pasting this to all my forums. Got home yesterday the 29th. Fell on the 12th. Seventeen days away from my kitty, boy was he happy to see me. Slightly freaked by my walker. It's good to be home, hope to play some guitar soon.

    Sorry to hear, my wife went through that several years ago, she's doing pretty good now. She does notice the fasteners in cold weather though!

    If it wasn't for bad luck, you wouldn't have no luck at all.

    Hey......that might make for a pretty decent blues number.

    Sorry to hear the news, Dan. Heal quickly, but don't push yourself too hard, lest you incur additional troubles!
