Before bed last night I soaked in a tub of hot water with some Epsom salts added. I just wanted my poor body to stop hurting. It took me maybe 6 minutes to fall asleep and then I must have woke up 4 or 5 times to the vision of the last 400 feet that I could not make. Ever see a log jam? Ever see a log jam that consisted of railroad ties? That was what the last leg had been. As I visited with Karen today I told her that when I looked up the incline to the top it looked like everyone was crawling over the ties. She told me it looked like that because that is what they were doing. Praise God I had sense enough to quit when I did!
I am still sore. I have chunks of skin missing with no explanation of where it went. My left hip is still not completely back in the socket and my right knee will probably never bend again. Most of my hearing has returned and my vision is almost back to normal. I am beginning to think rationally about whether or not to try this again. And would I recommend it to my friends? Let me be very clear. No. Not only no, but hell no! And not just hell no, but HELL NO!!! I would rather be put on a Chinese water torture table and have my fingernails pulled out slowly by a drunk Chimpanzee.
Now that I have cleared that up for you, I am going to my garden and see if I can remember where I planted those damn beets. Then I will come in and rip the rest of the carpet off the stairs. Just nice clean therapeutic work to clear my mind and prepare my body for bed where I will sleep with no dreams of stairs that climb straight up to a log jam 4 feet from Heaven.
