RE: Could have been worse

Yeah, you'd think I'd have taken this up when I was more resilient. Instead I
spent my 20s and 30s in the garden instead of the other way around. Oh well, I
learned something, I'm not permanently injured (whew) and there's risk in
every endeavour I suppose.

Good grief. You've reminded me of why I've had no interest in riding
horses for the last 60 years. May you recover quickly--your garden
needs you.
