Got the plumbing done on Tuesday evening. Yesterday I went to the garage to get some pipe supports to nail in around the standpipe. While I was in the garage I saw my skateboard and took it for a little ride up the block and back. Did some driveway carving and hooked a back wheel. I was aware it was going to happen and prepared to run it out.
Old fat men can't run it out!
Took one step and something in my leg ripped. I couldn't stop myself from going down and put out my arm to catch my fall.
Full weight body slammed the cement. Rode the skate almost back to the house then started to have trouble breathing. By the time I was in the door I was in full moan pain. Mrs. Mo called 911 and the paramedics freaked when my lips started turning blue.
Broke a rib and punctured a lung.
Rib hurts and breathing is tricky. I didn't need to have surgery and I was able to get them to release me yesterday. Ribs and lungs just need resting time and deep breaths (I was pre-med and have a medical background).
Wish I still had some of that Malawi Gold - It numbed my lungs.
