RevJim 0 #1 June 24, 2005 Just got home from the emergency room with a 10 incher (or so) and about 18 staples in my chest.

RevJim 0 #7 June 24, 2005 OK, drug hazed story (sorry, no open heart or chainsaws). Lately, a bunch of kids have been doing the "ring the doorbell 5 or 6 times late at night and run away thing." I've been getting fed up. Tonight they graduated to pounding on my bedroom window (where my wife happened to be sleeping). It pissed me off, but when I went outside, they were gone. They were ballsy enough though this time to do it a [/]second time. This time I went outside, and saw them cutting through our backyard to another street (we have ~1.5 acres in the city). I took off running after them, in the dark. My feet got tangled in a flower bed, tripping me up. I came down just north of my left nipple on a 12 inch high old survey stake (read: rusty pipe sticking out of the ground. My forward momentum a line down to my ribs, destroying my chutewear tank (shirt) (I'm REALLY pissed about that.) It looks much better, now, but when I got home I inspected the stake and found lots of my own blood and flies. Had I not been running as fast, the stake would have drove straight in, and (hopefully) people would start planning my ash dive. I'm damn lucky to be alive, and for the next few weeks, so will those kids.It's your life, live it!

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #10 June 24, 2005 Awww...thanks Jim. That is so sweet. I read your story, and I am so freaking angry at those kids for being so rude! Do they even know you or your wife? I wonder if they saw you get hurt? How did you get to the hospital? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RevJim 0 #11 June 24, 2005 Thanks Jaye. 's are nice to have around. Rosa, I have an idea whom they might be, and they choose this house because of my daughter (who isn't even here tonight.) My wife kinda freaked. I felt the bleeding so immediatly put pressure on my chest w/ my left hand, came inside, walked into the bedroom, and said "get up, emergency room, NOW!" She looked up, saw me holding my chest and dripping blood.... Well, she freaked, but I made it ok. I told her I could drive myself, but she drove. (I did drive home though....) It's amazing how quick you get service in the ER when you walk in holding your chest and dripping blood.... In and out in less than an hour, including chest X-ray.It's your life, live it!
