Missing

Holy buckets! Gulp.

I’ve been wondering what happened to you, Chip. I had no idea it was that. I mislaid youtr phone number—was going to give a call.

My best wishes to you.

-- Until you spread your wings, you'll have no idea how far you can walk.

Shit mate hope you get better soon friend

-- cut it saw it scrap it

I can sympathize. I’ve ridden a few ladders down, but not with those results.

Here’s hoping you get better soon.

-- Steve B - New Life Home Improvement

Wow. Thats why I don’t like ladders even though I spent some time on one recently.

Get well soon

holy cr@p!

sorry to hear about the accident. but glad to hear from you. how long is the rehab planned to be for?

-- When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route.

Chip, THAT is a bummer. I knew that you hadn’t been on here for awhile but I never dreamed that it was due to something like this. I am truly sorry to hear about this accident and I hope and pray that your rehab goes well. Keep us posted on what is going on.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Ouch. I was feeling bad about cutting my thumb on the table saw. I hope that you recover quickly.

So sorry to here of your accident. That hurts just thinking about it. Rehab is a real pain, but critical in the recovery process. Hang in there . My prayers are with you.

I only fell 5 feet on my tailbone on a metal set of steps someone unhooked, borrowed then did not hook back in the ARMY.

On the back of a 5 ton truck. had to operate to remove a bone chip.

Can’t imagine falling more than that.

-- Measure once cut twice....oh wait....ooops.

Sorry to hear that. You will also be in our prayers. May you have a quick recovery. To pass the time maybe try some whittling. Remember to think positive even on the hardest of days.

Chip sorry to hear about your accident. When that ladder starts to move you feel so helpless nothing to do but ride it to the ground.

The telephone co always told us to have a helper hold the base. I’m sorry for your injuries but my prayers are with you for his healing over your entire body.

I hope you get to feeling better soon. I’ve taken quite a fall before and felt it too, try and get into reading; it can really help pass the time and give your body needed rest without trying to move around.

Blessings, Andy

Wow Padre! Hope all will heal and please keep us posted, we care.

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

Padre, I hope you are doing better! It’s been a few days and we have not heard from you. How are you doing? Things healing? You chasing them nurses around the Hospital floors?

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Sounds like a hell of a fall! Glad to see you are still with us. I’ve seen others say this but make sure you follow through on the therapy. Usually the therapists seem cruel taskmasters but they are really trying to help.

Hang in there and we all hope you are back in the shop soon.

Sorry I just seen this…Very sorry to hear about your accident…you and yours will be in my prayers…Be sure to take your time heal up properly and listen to the docs….I got hurt bad once and did not listen to them…thought I knew better and could go back to work before they said I could….ended up flat on my back in a hospital bed for a Loooong time because of that bone headed stunt.
