Glad to see you up and around Ernie!
Unfortunately I know exactly how you feel. In 2004 I fell 40 feet at work when the crane I was working on broke a cable and threw me out of the basket. I broke almost every bone on my left side and was in the hospital for 5 months. I need crutches to walk and will for the rest of my life.
The GOOD NEWS is that you'll get over it. I thought my life was over for about the first year or so but all that changed. Now I don't even think about it and I have a VERY productive and happy life.
I have to laugh a little though, I GAINED 30 pounds when in the hospital! I would wander around in my wheelchair and end up buying all kinds of candy and ice cream in the cafeteria, they actually put me on a diet for the last month I was there!
Keep your chin up buddy.
