One week ago I fell about 12' hiking down to a waterfall. My downward descent was stopped by large rocks and boulders. Miserable hike back to the car, then a 1 hr ride to the nearest ER. 11 hrs in the ER, but only because there were a lot of people worse off than me.
Multiple contusions and severely bruised ribs. Could have been much worse--could have broken my neck or cracked my skull. They said it appeared my head was going to hit a large boulder.
Two more weeks in a splint then back to orthopedic surgeon for new x-rays. Completely out of commission with very limited use of my hand.
Summer always derails my fishroom project. Four full ballasts and also ten bags of sand double wrapped in contractor garbage bags for an additional 500 pounds of weight in the boat = bigger wake to surf on. No sand in the fish tank--just on the boat. Sand bags work better than extra fat sacks on the seats, since they can be moved to either side to accommodate regular and goofy footed surfers. They are also better than extra people as sand bags don't need a turn behind the boat. (more wake time for us)
