Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching I'm your host the report of the week and
Thank you for tuning in to this newest video
you know most importantly I wanted to give a bit of an update and
recap
kind of as to what went down over the last few days because
needless to say it was
It was quite crazy
quite unexpected and
just
overall, very scary situation, but at the same time
Extremely lucky at that
What happened was?
Unfortunately took a very very hard fall and
Wound up in the hospital as a result. I was doing some work in the Attic and this was on me
I should I should mention that it was just a mistake on my part
guaranteed will never happen again, but I was doing some work in the Attic and when I lost my footing and fell and
Fell about 12 feet onto a very hard floor, but I think it was concrete
there was nothing to break my fall and I fell first on my
Tailbone then the back of my head kind of slammed onto the ground too. And
So needless to say it was very very scary
went to the hospital and
Was checked out most importantly should be mentioned that you know, I'll recover from this, you know
It's gonna take a while and you know, I don't it'll be what it'll be
but I'll get through it and
you know, it could have been so much worse most importantly there were no severe brain injuries, which is which is just
It's incredible
It was just so scary what happened, you know, there's been a lot of pain and of course
in a lot of different parts of my body and then I also got
cut up with some nails that kind of dragged along my back because I was going down and
then I guess my mouth slammed shut and I bit a lot of my tongue and
just a whole nice little
variety of
various injuries I sustained
but the good news is that there's nothing life-threatening and
I'll be able to fully recover and I'll be back in tip-top shape and in full working order
You know in no time really. That's that's a really good news here. It was it was really scary
And it was a really hard impact
but I have and I'm just so glad and so
Thankful because it could have been so much worse, you know Falls are are one of those things in it
That the levels of severity
it all depends on how you land and how
How you fall what you land on and so on and so forth and that
That very fall could have could have been very very different in regards to its outcome
had had I have even just landed a little differently and
It was just really scary. So I
It was it was extremely
unanticipated needless to say it's uh
It's just so crazy
But at the same time more than anything else
I'm just so because I know it could have been so much worse
I could have been so much worse it it could have been fatal if I had you know, hit the
Hit the certain areas you name it it could have easily been so I'm just so glad that despite the pain and all of that
You know what? I'll be able to recover I'll be I'll be back at it as usual soon enough and
The fact that it could have been so much worse, but it wasn't it's just it's so incredible
that's the best way to put it and
One thing that really shocked me that that really just blew me away
Was after I you know made the initial announcement as to what happened
the response from from you guys the community was just
It blew me away. It was incredible. I I never anticipated never expected such a response
So I just most sincerely wanted to thank each and every one of you for your support
for your kind words
your thoughts
Thank you all so much
It really means a lot to me and I just never expected so much it's an it's just
It's incredible
but thank you all so much and I just want to keep you all updated as to how I'm doing what's going on and
You just thank you so much. Very just your outpouring of kindness. It's just it's incredible
truth be told - thank you and
One thing that I did want to show you
Because I know I explained the situation. I know I explained
What happened how I fell? Of course, I could go into more detail
But you know, I explained the gist of things at least the bare basics
I did I didn't want to just show you a short video. I
Just I was able to film kind of where I fell just to put it into better perspective. So take a look and
Then I'll I'll be back in a minute
All right. Well, like I said, I wasn't joking when I when I told you that I fell
needless to say I was I was not
Here I am in the garage it's one of those attics that's
Above the garage there better reference. You know, it's one of these that you just pull this thing and you know, then the little
staircase will go through and I have to get a floor put there or something, but
Needless to say you can see it was my mistake. It was mine. I messed up but
for reference, you know, I was trying to get to that board there and
You know, I kind of I misjudged my step. That's what happened and
My foot slipped
So did I of course and then with that I fell down from there?
Onto the ground here and I mean you can see
Because what it is, but you can see though, let me get the autofocus off
It's it's solid ground there's nothing the cushioned my fall and you can
feel the crap that felt down there with me, but
This is where my head landed right around here again done
solid
ground
and
So that's how I fell
how it was being just
Storage I was up there then I just fell because I was kind of moving forward and then I kind of fell back
fell back down
bad then around there's probably where
My back and tailbone landed and here was where my head whipped back
And then, you know the rest of me was
all here and
the other thing
Where it's showing
likewise
Is I don't know how long you can see
Right there
those are all the nails that got me -
because needless to say when you're falling and all of your
weight is kind of
going down this
Has a little bit of an understatement
They kind of left a mark needless to say but yeah, yeah, so that's where I fell
That's how it happened. That's that's the fun story. You know, what a fall that was,
It was insane
But you know, I'm taking care of myself. I've got my water right here in the infamous blue chalice
Able to get
My coffee intake right there
Vegetable
Intake right there with the like the v8, but no it does
it's got a lot of good stuff in it and then of course the
Absolute essentials of any good recovery. I've got my chicken
Biscuits from chick fil a. I'll show you why not
You know, they're very good they're tasty
granted
Because my tongue is all bit up. I can't necessarily
Enjoy them to their fullest, but they still good. They still taste good and
They still just as good as I remember them, you know, yes
The fall did not change my perception of chicken biscuits. They were always a good a
Good little breakfast snack best way to put it.
Right there for verify
verification purposes
Right there. See it's not a prop
Chicken biscuit it's a real one and I'll take a look. I'll even go ahead and take a little bite for you. Why not?
And the good news at least is despite
Biting my tongue a bit. I didn't knock out any of my teeth. So that's good some even though
you know, I'm glad I'm glad that's one of the first things I
Remember just like a bit checking with my tongue, but there was no no missing teeth. So that that's that's good in anyway
But no I'm I'm you know taking it easy
Resting, you know taking it easy given giving my body a break best way to put it but no I'm staying
I'm staying hydrated staying fed
you know taking care of myself have a wonderful person helping as well and
You know, I just wanted to really make this video to you know, give an update
let everyone know how things are going what exactly happens and
Just let you know look it was crazy. It was very intense, but
In the end. I got extremely lucky
things will get better and
You know, no matter what I know. I certainly learned my lesson number one to just
you know to be able to
Watch my step watch where I'm going, you know more of a more carefully best way to put it
but also
One very important thing that was just reinforced for me and you know with all that happened here
I just not to take life for granted things could have could have changed so
So horribly with what happens that then and the fact that I emerged so lucky from this
You know not to take it for granted things can change in any moments
But just goes to show how fragile things can be, but I'm really really thankful that I I made it out
you know and
well in pretty much one piece and
I'll be around for much longer, which is great, and I also just wanted to finish it up by saying once again, thank you
So much for your support. I'll be keeping you updated going forward
You know before you know it we'll see when the next video comes out
but we'll get something we'll get something coming up when it comes up and
before you know it I'll be back again with reviews and other videos and
Until then I just want to keep you posted. Keep you updated. Thank you for watching and thank you for your support
