I was lucky that I was able to break my fall with an arm on a nearby table & a hand on a step, coccyx bones intact. went back inside for the new winter boots & tried again, successfully. thank for for sharing the video, I look forward to watching it. I too find joy in watching some old bike videos. one of the benefits of going thru the trouble. even if other ppl don't watch them, they can still help me fall asleep. watching summer videos in the winter & conversely, winter videos in the summer, are particularly amusing
I still can't cough or sneeze without severe pain. Slow deep breaths get me to about 70% of my lung capacity. I'm nearly 3 weeks out from the fall and will probably never know if I cracked a rib. I do know there really isn't anything a medical doctor can do for it. I just got back from seeing my chiropractor and she was able to make a little headway with freeing up some tight areas along my spine. I didn't realize that about Dr Atkins. I've got a pair of shoes outfitted with
Yaktrax to more safely negotiate our driveway. I'm glad your fall was somewhat controlled and that you prevented injury.
