Yeesh - hope you're on the mend.

Meanwhile, why hasn't anyone invented a drone that can clean gutters? I was seriously considering it a while back, since I live on the top floor of a three-storey building. Quadracopter which lowers a little bulldozer into the gutter, and picks it up when it's done.

Was it a quadcopter? Did it take you for a swim?

It would probably be better to make self-cleaning gutters, with flamethrowers or boiling acid.

That's nothing. I was tightening up a caliper retaining bolt when the socket slipped off the nut and I punched myself full in the face. Got a right big egg on my forehead.

Only an 8 foot drop? No wonder you Mericans wear all that padding when you're trying to play rugby.

Take this as a lesson, though. You're not supposed to do that kind of stuff yourself. You're supposed to get an immigrant to do it for you.

Get well soon, though. And make sure you use it as an excuse for getting out of just about anything. "Empty the dishwasher? Are you mad, woman? I've got a broken back!" "No, I couldn't possibly go to that meeting. I've broken my back." etc etc

Thanks all for the well wishes! I was about a foot from being killed I'd say.  I had the snow plow out in the driveway and just missed it ween I fell.  I can't imagine the damage that thing would have done to me!

Damn it Ken, you had one job! One job! I knew you wouldn't be able to do it properly. Knew I should have gotten someone else to do it. You useless sod.

Hope you get better soon!

My wife made me a list of things she wanted me to do around the house and cleaning the gutters wasn't on that list.  It needed done so I figured I'd squeeze that it.  Now I don't know when that list will be finished!

Ken.

1. Sorry you got hurt. Really. I have had a severe back injury and I know what you are going through. Somewhat. The fractured calcaneus, that complicates things a ton. If you never listen to anything else I say, do NOT PUSH THE RECOVERY. You've had a severe injury and even the little things you do will affect you now. Learn to listen to your body and take care of it.

2. If your doctor recommends heat at this point, find another doctor. Inflammation is a big problem. Ice and cool compresses are your friend.

3. Do NOT blow off pain management. It WILL help and you DO need it. Trying to be a tough guy will make you miserable and I will end up coming over to console your wife, in the Biblical sense.  :-P Remeber, I can still fly airplanes, so it isn't a long trip.  LOL

4. What the hell were you doing climbing onto the roof to clean a gutter??? You stay on the ladder and move it as you go. You carry a hammer in a hammer holder to bang in the gutter nails as you clean. You DO NOT lean side to side and try to reach as far as possible, you move the ladder. Or you fall down and go boom.

5. There are neighborhood boys who should be coming around to clean your gutters. If they won't do it, grab one of them, smack him around a bit and call him a lazy snipe; then you force him to do it at the point of a shotgun. When he is done give that 15 year-old a twenty, a case of scrod beer and a bag of dried green stuff.

6. What the HELL were you doing up on a ladder when you have a boy???

7. Why is your wife giving you a list? Do you give her one? I don't do lists; if my wife hands me a list, I'll ask her if she wants to see my list. I do projects. Nobody tells me to do them, they get done because they need to be done.

8. This is all your wife's fault because of the list. You will no longer be required, or asked, to do any more housework, no laundry, definitely NO VACUUMING as that is the worst thing for a guy with broken vertebrae (seriously). Cooking is optional if you like it and feel up to it.

9. I hope you recover quickly. It is still about a three hour flight depending on the platform I fly and then she has to make up stories about where she is going...  (drool)
