    I couldn't sleep last night and when I finally fell asleep I was late getting up. In my rush I ran down the front steps and didn't notice the ice on the driveway. Took a nasty fall on the cement. I can hardly move I hurt my back bad! Just took me 5 minutes to get up from my desk. Looks like I am making a trip to the doctor later today. :(

    Ice is an opportunistic SOB. Broke my leg a few years ago slipping on ice. Hope your Dr's visit is just a brief checkup. ;)

    Take care of yourself Ward!

    That sucks, I hope all goes well.

    I have a pair of old boots these spikes stay on all winter, I use them every day.
    I bought mine from a local bait shop, they have different sizes depending on what your boot size runs.

    Right where I want to be.
    Well Ward....welcome to the club.:headbang:
    I just did this a couple-3 days ago.
    Feeling quite a bit better today, but still a little sore.....my whole torso and neck.
    What did the Doc say?
    You must have missed my post....I warned everybody to please be careful out there.:confused:

    Yes, I guess I missed that one. I need to learn to pay attention! ;)

    Haven't gone to the doc yet, I'm still at work until 2. I can't say I'm working til 2 though, that would be a lie. Just trying to sit still and look busy! :)

    If so, always go light on the pain killers. Just take a small dose, enough to take the edge off. They don't tell you how the pain killers, even Tylenol and all the rest, are not good for your organs. If I need something, I might take one extra strength Tylenol.
