33. Wow, that sucks

I'm so sorry about your fall, especially on your birthday. It sounds like you had quite the ordeal. Here's hoping that you heal quickly and fully and eventually get to have your birthday dinner. And, yes, Happy Birthday!!

I'm 74 and I recently fell while walking my dog. Hit the sidewalk pretty hard, but luckily I only suffered some abrasions on my hands and a couple bruised ribs. As we get older those kinds of incidents are even more fraught with danger, aren't they? Take care and keep us posted on your recovery.
