I've cut-down Trees for almost a Half-Century,   but on  April 8th 2018, 
I got in a Hurry Cutting Tree #2 for the day,  and made mistakes,  which almost killed me.

Had a  Helicopter Air-Ambulance Ride to 
Mary Washington Hospital's    Level-2 Trauma Unit   where I spent the next 7-days.

My Final-Tally;    Knocked Un-Conscience from Blunt-Force Trauma to Head & Neck,
Blunt-Force Trauma to Chest,   4 Broken Ribs,   Bleeding in Lung Sac's,   Collapsed Lung, 
Smashed Right Wrist,   3 Surgeries to Fix Things,   Inner-ear (Balance) Problems,   and a
Heart Murmur Condition that may have been caused by Blunt-Force Trauma to Chest.

And,  as U.S.  is the Only Industrial Country to Not have National Health Care,
our For-Profit Health Care System has Generated Well-Over  1/8 of a Million Dollars in Bills, 
so far,   and the Bill Total is still going-up!

I went-back to  ( Very Light Duty! )  Work the Day after I got Home from Hospital
But,  it's going to be a Long Process Recovering.

Replacing  the

That was put-in  only  22 Months ago.
It Was suppose to last 10 to 15 Years.

And 
a Double Heart Bypass

And 
Debrided Left Lung of
Scar-Tissues from Past Injuries.

I was Very Fortunate to have
1 of the Very Top Surgeons  in
Washington D.C.  Area
Dr. Ranesh Singh

BUT
I Was  Shipping  Strippit Repair Parts
the  Day After  I got Home  from
2-Weeks  in  Inova Hospital.

Ya Gotta be Tough
to  Work on Strippits!
But,  I Still Managed to Crawl to  Las Vegas 
Allegiant Stadium  to see
The Stones  May 11,  2024
                            They Really Put-On a Spectacular Concert!
