Double whammy. Slipped on the first (top) stair Thursday. Right foot went out in front and the left leg behind me. All the way down 10 steps, Could hardly walk then next morning. Yesterday I had an urge to put my boat in the water. I usually tie a line to from the front of the boat to the bed of my truck,, back up and float it off. Get out and pull the boat to the bank. Still a little sore and not wanting to get my feet wet, backed down with the boat half in the water. Plan was to jump from my tailgate onto the bow of the boat and drive it off the trailer. When I jumped, my right foot hit the trolling motor and I slipped completely off. Smacked my head pretty good on the bow of the boat on my way down to the cement. (My truck is a 4x4 and sites high), Dang. It hurt so bad I thought I broke my hip., laid there a few minutes and looked around but wasnt anybody there to take pity and help me up. LOL I finally got up and back in the truck. To sore to even get out and tie the boat bow down, I only live 1 1/2 mile from the dock so I just drove slow, You know, 10 years ago and 170 lbs, Jumping from the tailgate to the bow was a piece of cake, now at 61 and 230 lbs, I tend to mis-judge what I THINK I can do.
