Hi all,
6:58 am 9/7/04 Karen was eager to get the week after labor day started right. She was painting Mom's kitchen (by herself) and she was using a crappy ladder to paint with. Karen was paining the ceiling line and was reaching when the ladder slid a bit... Initially she was a bit concerned but she assumed the rubber feet (which are plastic) would hold so she continued on... Needless to say the feet didn't hold. Still clinging to the ladder she and the ladder fell 8 feet.
The final result was we spent 5 hours at the hospital. For this Karen received 6 stitches under the skin, 16 above her eyebrow, 2 on her eyelid (ouch) and one below her eye. 25 total!! All said and done we are very lucky!!
Here is the video for those who want to see some details..

You should know better than to pick a fight with anything named "Gorilla"...
This is a simple test
