Well, on Wednesday, Halloween, I was leaning against a railing on the top of my back stairs when it let go and tossed me onto the pavers in the yard six feet below. Thankfully, my daughter saw it happen and called an ambulance for me. At the first ER, they thought I had broken my C7 vertebrae so they sent me off to Mass General Hospital to get looked at. After 18 hours of pain in the two ERs, they finally determined that I had not broken my neck.
While waiting for the news, a young lady wearing an MGH uniform asked if I would be wiling to participate in a head injury study. I agreed immediately. After speaking with the Doctor running the study, it seems they can't include me in it if I'm on any narcotics. I stopped taking the pain meds I was prescribed after this and switched to advil. I see the doctor and his team tomorrow evening.
The men of my lodge have been great with visits and offers of help. I couldn't ask for better friends and brothers.
