Wifey has just corrected me, it was 2006 not last yearOriginally posted by Diver View PostI ended up in hospital last year, my vertebrae shifted (5 collapsed vertebrae) and paralyzed me from the waist down for 18 hours. I was 3 1/2 hours on the floor before the wife came home from work and found me.
The ambulance men made me drag myself onto the stretcher, they said you're too big to lift without risk of injury

Next morning I was right as rain again and booked myself out of hospital.
That's the second time in 5 years that has happened.
Maybe I should not have lifted the washing machine onto the bed of the truck on my own
