But I really did it this time. Halloween Night After I finished up with the neighborhood trick or treaters, I retired to the garage shop for a libation before dinner. I was sitting at the bench when I began an uncontrolled cough and could not catch my breath. I got COPD, Apnea,and I am on BP medication. Well I panicked and gasping for air I stood up and immediately blacked out. I face planted on the concrete garage floor!!! The results are obvious. I broke my nose in 3 places...2 at the bridge and one on the right side and blew a blood vessel in my left eye hence the sever blood shot look. I am banged up pretty good but the spirits are high, humor is still there and a laugh in my belly when the jokes are thrown at me. Thank God the my Brother Jon/69a100 is camping out with me temporarily as he administered First Aid and got the bleeding under control so no emergency room visit. Just lots of ice and rest until the major swelling went down enough to go see a Doc and get xrays. I jokingly say that I went 10 rounds...I used to Box Golden Gloves as a youth at the "Y", so I know about getting the ol' Proboscis being the brunt of a blow...and I didn't loose the match. I look like Rocky after his fight. Yo Adrian!!!! Any way, I am sore but not too uncomfortable. I can breath about 85% of normal through both nostrils, so that is a good thing and I rest/sleep fairly well despite the injury. I have a CT Facial scan on Friday and then a ENT consult to discuss surgery which couldn't come at a more inopportune time with the forth coming Holidays and visiting guest coming next month. But it takes a Hell of a lot more to knock and keep this Ol' boy down so I keep that good attitude and put one foot at a time in front of each other. I have no advise only to say, It Ain't The Fall That Gets Ya. It's The Sudden Stop!!! Lesson well learned I might add. Let's be safe out there, look and take care of one another, and be careful with all that you are doing in your daily lives. So now the jokes and digs will come. I love it!!! Peace Out.....The...cr8crshr/Tuck
