Next week will have lots of political excitement going on, I’m sure. Despite that, hopefully you’re having an OK week

Your story reminds me of my grandfather’s dying words. “Quit shaking the ladder you little asshole!”

You know, my grandfather once fell out of a tree, broke multiple vertebrae, multiple ribs, an arm, a punctured lung and then drove himself over 150 miles home. Why home instead of the nearest hospital? Didn’t want my grandmother to worry when she got a call from a hospital, and didn’t want her to have to drive as far.

If I had shaken my grandfather’s ladder, he likely would have gotten up and whacked me with a stick until I drove him home lol.

That’s not bullshit, he actually did that. Damn near died because he waited so long to get help.
