Neosporin.  Banged em up pretty good.  Scabbing over well but sweats are the only thing that feel comfortable.  Too cold for shorts.  Neck still sore but bump on the head feeling better except when combing my hair and discovering the scab is still there.  First time I ever took MLK day off...WOOT!

The Bactine and Curad is for Dwags. You're supposed to rub dirt and lard on it. I didn't think that needed to be said.

One of my best friends broke his neck diving off a boat into shallow water on Lake St Clair 10 years ago. The coroner ruled his death drowning. How stupid is that...?

In the milliseconds of my slip and fall, seeing/knowing my head was about to impact the garage door jam, I thought about him. Thought how ironic it would be if we both died of broken necks. I could see it coming and made successful adjustments to minimize injury. He couldn't...Muscamoot Bay is murky. Like to think his death was instantaneous.

While walking the notorious d-o-g, I slipped and fell from ice on a neighbor’s sidewalk. Was able to toss the bag of poop and balled up the fist holding the leash so as not to accidentally let it go. Getting rid of the poop was a great idea, but when I landed on my fist it was up/down, not side to side. I don’t think anything busted, but one area feels real bruised in certain situations, plus my shoulder socket aches like a MoFo. Looks like I won’t be dunking this week.
Beware, the rest of you. The jinx is strong on tSwill.

Dammit. Can't hurt to get those areas looked at.

My advice from the hiking trails is: strap on.

Damn Greenway. At least when you got hurt you didn't leave your feet on purpose. Let this be another lesson to all swllers young and old: both feet on the ground at all times!

Feel better Green way

Not sure my feet ever actually left the ground. While I haven’t fallen often, all previous times had my feet fly out from under me and I’ve had bone-jarring drops falling on my back and/or ass.This is the first time I’ve gone full body face down.

damn, GW - hope you wake up tomorrow feeling better.

To Floyd's point, the Khatoola spikes are a great investment. I have both the nanospike and the microscope, depending on walking/hiking/running conditions.

Because you have perfect balance, buddy. You make perfect phone calls and have perfect balance. Many people are saying it. The best people.

This only happened an hour ago. I’ll keep an eye on my breathing, thanks. It’s my shoulder that seems to be getting worse. I’ll also get my yaktraxx on and check on your recommendation.

Slipped and fell on my front porch a couple of days ago. Bruised my hip and shoulder. If these things run in threes like everything else we should all be in the clear. Oh, and don't wear crocs when you're shoveling the front porch
