Tuesday night i was hanging paintings in the living room and i was standing on a 2 step ladder and i had another passing out attack without warning. I just blacked out and when that happens i just drop like a rock.

Well yesterday while she was at work i cleaned the gutters and when she came home she was hot. She was going to get one of the kids to do it for us.

She was like what would happen if you fell again.

Only thing bad with me falling my dog Bear thinks it helps me to stick his tongue down my throat. I wake up going pfft pfft pfft.[:)]

    I hate asking for help. Even if it is my kids and they would be glad to help.

    You take those chances and you could be causing them to have to help a WHOLE lot more. Sit down and stay safe
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    Your wife is right and you should know better. Just think of the stress you put her under when you continue to do things that have the potential to take your life.

    Of all the things a man can know, knowing and accepting your limitations is probably the most important.

    I know how you feel though, its hard to accept that you can no longer do things that you have always done.

    I'm not allowed on the roof anymore, I have to take what I feel are unnecessarily frequent breaks, drink way more water than I want but .... the wife is right, sometimes men are just too damn stubborn to exorcise common sense.

    Let people help you, after all ..... you have helped enough people ... now it's your turn.

    Listen to her.

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    I fell onto gravel from five or six feet when a ladder broke on me. Fractured five ribs, one bad broken. An acquaintance had a ladder slip while hanging Xmas lights, fell and hit his head on concrete - dead. Falls can be serious. Take care.

    Based on your posts I think your wife is right. I'm not saying you can't do manly things anymore....just avoid heights maybe....be a good chance for you to instill some work ethic in the neighborhood teens.

    Hire teenage young man for day labor.
    Get lawn chair and glass of sweet tea.
    Get a good book.
    Sit and supervise.
    Offer harsh criticism occasionally, with comments about lazy millenials and stupid snowflakes.
    Tell him he better work harder if be wants those quarters.
    If he works hard and does a good job, pay him well.
    If he does not work hard, pretend your fall bumped your head and you can't remember the location of your wallet.[}:)]

    Another vote for Mama Bear. 3 months ago one of our staff had a ladder slip. He fell 3 feet. He should be finished with physical therapy in another month.

    Broken hip. Surgery to put jigsaw puzzle back together. Add titanium screws.

    Listen to your wife on this one.

    Dave,

    I feel for you and understand, however Momma has your best interests at heart. Count your blessings that she's there and cares.

    I tell my wife, partner, and best friend that she chose poorly and that I chose well. Given what I've put her through she probably should have walked away. She took her vows seriously unlike so many and has willingly gone down a very rough road. You, sir, seem to have also been blessed with an angel.

    LIVE!

    IF you wife didn't talk to you last night, you probably had a nice, quiet evening.
