Yeah, actually, I saw that you had changed avatars and were talking about broken bones, but I didn't know what happened. It took the finger-jointer disaster to get me to finally track it down though.

I feel sorry for you, nasty break by the sounds of things. Mind you, I know someone (what is more he was an experienced painter who was on ladders every day of his life) who once forgot to attach the safety loop. He fell off the ladder. It was only a short fall, but he fell badly and broke his back. As they say, there is always someone worse off than you.

Still, an kind of injury absolutely sucks - especially one where the bone starts wanting to come out and breathe come fresh air.
