On Saturday Before Fathers Day it became apparent that we should have put that gate in after all. There is a Tree in the backyard that –had- some convenient branches that I used to get from one side of the temporary fence to the other when I’m working on the pool.

Well after a few comments from some kids wanting to climb another tree I showed them the way not to do it.

Mid swing with my Legs in the air I landed pretty much flat on my back. Maybe a bit more on my right side. After I was hemming and hawing for a while debating on if I should go to the ER or not,  Jennifer took me to the ER.   The wait to get in, and get tests run wasn’t too too bad, but after getting the CT Scan, it took forever.  Turns out that I fractured the ‘Transverse process’ of 2 of my vertebrae in my lower back.  Not sure which 2 of the L1-L5 though.   So After about 7 Hours in the ER and a dose or two of morphine I was on my way home…  It was late (4:45am) and we were both pretty tired. Jen's not used to my car and Just out of the parking lot she accidentally gunned it.  Good thing I had lots of Pain Meds in me!
