Just a quick note. I eventually got to the hospital, but it took maybe 2 hours. The ambulance never came so I got a neighbour to take me. The ambulance arrived after I’d been an hour at the hospital.

Anyway, I was stitched up and they did a CT scan and discharged me.

I’ve been home for a couple of hours and just taking it easy.

I had a big cut right across the top of my head from the fall. I’ll post the photos later today.

I fell at least 8 feet. My feet were at least 8 feet off the ground. I’ll explain later what happened and why. I will measure it later this week.

Amazingly, no broken bones. Just a very sore neck and a big long cut across the top of my head.

I probably was unconscious for a short time after I hit the ground.

I just want some more rest and then I’ll post the photos later.

Another Boer, a former Advocate, said to me I am extremely lucky to not have broken bones. Others my age have fallen and for them it was a big issue.

I fell backwards, probably hitting the ground feet first going backwards and then backlashing into the ground.
