JHC, that's some story but with a nice touch although I think I'd need something rather stronger than iron brew, you were very lucky to have survived at all after that smack , which just goes to prove what trauma the human body can take, but not a lot of consolation is it?
Mine was a riding accident, the horse I was riding reared & instead of going out the side door I hung on, & he went over with me still astride, I got away lightly considering he could have caused internal injuries, but I was out of action for quite sometime, a friend of mine had the same accident the following year nearly a carbon copy of mine & died so I count myself lucky indeed. It didn't stop me riding though. lol. You have a great outlook on life & your picture shows even though your still fighting I'll health & I'm sure you feel why me!
That you are great fun & may I say a very attractive classy lady . I wish you all the joy & happiness in the future & don't lose that spirit.
