I'm Back...A winded tale

Well, I just wanted to announce that I'm back. :onfire: I know that it has been a while since I last posted, mostly due to an unfortunate event in my life.

Well, I was busy working on finishing up my grow room before I disappeared and in doing so had an accident. While running the electric for the room, I also decided to install 6 more light fixtures in the basement (it really needed to be brightened up). However, as it turned out, that was literally my downfall. I was in too much of a hurry (or lazy, which ever you want to believe) to go into the garage and drag out my step ladder and instead used an old kitchen chair. While stepping onto the chair, my ankle rolled and I went flying across the basement. Also, it is important to note that i wasn't drinking at the time. :lol: Wish that I had, it would make me seem less of a cluts...I went to work that night feeling fine, but woke up the next day unable to walk. I gimped around for 24 more hours and finally had the wife drive me to the ER when things got worse. I came to find out that I had broken my Navicular bone (the main weight bearing bone in my foot). In fact I broke it so good that the Doctor had to place 2 screws in it. This was early February and the Doctor says that I may not be back on my feet until April 20th.

Now here is the REAL sad part of my tale...Here it is March 6th and I still haven't gotten to starting any of my seeds. I don't know if it is too late to get them started in time for a plant out date of May 30th, but I suspect that I have missed the boat. :( Fortunately, I have a few friends who are handy enough with their hands and they have managed to finish the electric in my grow room and it is functional now, but I don't know if I have time now to start my transplants.

I have missed all of you guys, even if I'm not as popular as Pam, Chiliac and Rabbit to warrant a post 'Where is Pepperfreak' :lol:
 
Sorry to hear that Paul. I hope you get well soon. And yes, we missed you too(it's just thats Pam's much cuter than you - thats why she got her own "where is ____" thread).
 
Get off mate everyone is equal here and holy shit bro i am real sorry that this happened to yourself. You had to get screws put in that sucks. I have a friend that had the same procedure after falling of a ten speed bike whilst i was racing him, he was pretty fcked up at the time, lucky i am good at suppresing memories.

I hopeyour ankle feels good soon mate that is the worst place for a painful injury :(
 
Oh, that sounds so very painful! Take care of yourself, the peppers can be a little late. And no, it is not too late to plant, you still have almost ten weeks.

And if you would learn to be obnoxiously loud and rude instead of decorous, you would be missed sooner.

:lol::lol::lol: I believe that she is cuter too...
 
NO WHERE NEAR TOO LATE!!!!!

Besides, if you don't start them what will you grow?? Jalapenos and bells from Lowe's???

GET THOSE SEEDS IN DIRT MISTER!!!! GIMPY LEG OR NO YOU CAN AT LEAST PUT THEM IN SOME MOIST DIRT IN A COFFE MUG OR SOMETHING!!!!!!

Just lookin out for you brother.
 
Welcome back Paul, I wondered where you'd gone. BTW they are still hung proudly on the bedroom wall, you know what I mean. RB x
 
Glad to hear that I'm not too late. I think I'm going to ask my wife if she can help me tonight or tomorrow. Hopefully she will even though she hates peppers. :lol:

This foot thing has really messed me up. I'm not a person who sits still easily and being forced to has really messed with my head. I'm just glad that I'm off the horrible pain drugs they had me on. They worked, but...really spaced me out, worse than a cheap drunk.

I'm a terrible patient, too. Last time I broke my ankle, my mother threatened to duck tape me to the chair.


But the bright side, now you have plenty of time to boost your posting stats. I will expect to see you at 3000 this time next week.
 
3000 posts??? Heck, I'm planning on catching Iggy...LOL

My wife has told me that the past week I have actually been fun to around. Before that she was ready to tie me up though.

The only good that I'm focusing on right now, is being to spend a ton of time with my family. Working 2 jobs has kept me away a lot and spending time with my 3 year old daughter has been a blessing. Well, spending time with the whole family has been a blessing. I just wish I could do more things.
 
Dude, glad u are feeling better. Don't worry, you won't feel your foot (or any other part of your body) on June 20. ;)
 
GET TO PLANTING! BONES BE DAMNED! :lol:

Sorry to hear about your fall and subsequint breakage, being a cluts myself I sure can realate. Get better soon!
