Aug 15 - forklift

I was unloading some steel into a big metal recycle bin. We had the wooden crate lifted up with a forklift and we were in the crate unloading the metal. As I picked up the very last piece of metal, I guess I was off center of the forks and the crate tipped and I fell head first to the asphalt. The next thing I knew I was wheezing like the wind was knocked out of me and the guy with me was asking me if I was breathing and if I was okay. I climbed up into the chair of the forklift because my back was really hurting and I just wanted to sit down and catch my breath. The guy told me that I was just laying there for about 30 seconds and I was knocked out. As I thought back on what had happened I remembered a bunch of songs going through my head and it was like I was dreaming. It was really a weird feeling. My face and arm were really hurting as well. It turned out that the crate had landed across my arm and back stopping it from landing on my head. I got a CT scan and everything looked fine. It was just a mild concussion and some muscle strain in my back. It could have been much worse.

When Scott was getting the CAT scan and x-ray Adi was all smiles…. I guess she realized it was finally not her turn.
