Ok, so here's what happened
<p><strong><span style="color: green; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Ok, so here's what happened - by Sam Houston</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color: green; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Well, if you don't know, the damn doctors diagnosed me as having MS (multiple sclerosis), or so they say. But me being the rebel's rebel don't give a damn what they say and MS can kiss my country ass. I'm going to do what I've always done (which is usually hurt myself being an idiot). But yesterday, this wasn't the case....really....it wasn't. So I was riding my 4-wheeler in the woods. I decided to stop and check out the scenery since I hadn't been out in the woods in a while because of all the violent killer storms we always get in spring here in Oklahoma....plus I'm such a gentle and sensitive son of a bitch..... So I went to one particular area of my land that is....let's just say....not for the faint of heart or if you're afraid of heights. It's on a cliff overlooking a creek. It's an awesome view. There's a rock that hangs out over it that I usually sit on and hang my legs over and survey the grand spectacle of nature around me (yes I thought that up myself). So I parked the 4-wheeler, dismounted, and proceeded toward the rock. Before I go further and for those who don't know, MS can cause instability, jacked up equilibrium, and leg weakness. So, as I stepped toward and onto the rock, my equilibrium went ape-shit and of course my legs gave way. And naturally I fell head first. Fortunately I didn't fall off the main vertical drop-off of the cliff or I would be dead now and it would be very weird that I would be typing this. I fell to the side, which was more of a gauntlet of steep cliff plus rocks plus boulders plus fallen trees plus young sapling trees plus brush plus my ass getting beat to a pulp on the way down. So, I fell head first but only went down about 15 or 20 feet. But, on the way, I managed to skid on my face and left shoulder and ass. But fortunately a nice oak tree broke my decent into the remainder of the abyss. I hit the tree however, right at about my hips. So it sort of bent me into a nice horseshoe shape, but a sideways horseshoe. I think my legs may have kicked myself in the ass (not really....probably....no....not really....maybe). So, now I'm bent in half around this tree on the edge of oblivion. Once I laid there a while and realized I wasn't dead, I now had to get myself to my feet and get back up to the top somehow. I'm not sure how I did it because I think I was about half conscious. But I did it at any rate. I sat for a while to try to regain my senses and ponder life in general. My senses never really returned....but oh well. I climbed back on the 4-wheeler and drove out of the woods and back to the house. I am now fairly jacked up as a good portion of my body is exhibiting a fair amount of very exquisite pain. Also, even now, I have removed several splinters and fragments of wood from my body from various fallen trees that I managed to slam into on the way down before the live tree broke my fall. But hey....I'm ok....probably. </span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color: green; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">My wife wants me to go to the doctor to see if I fractured my hip or dislocated it because I have a knot about the size of a grapefruit on it and a nice multi-colored bruise going and my back hurts. I have scuff marks on my head, nose and shoulder and my left eye is swollen and have a partial black eye. Also, my left hand hurts and is swollen so I may have cracked a bone in there too. But, oh well. Pain let's us know we're alive....right? Right.</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color: green; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Yeah I know….I’m an idiot.</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color: green; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">The End</span></strong></p><p><a href="http://youtu.be/9XGWsQbyOwM"><strong><span style="color: green; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">http://youtu.be/9XGWsQbyOwM</span></strong></a></p>

I appreciate all the kind words from everybody. But obviously you don't know who you're dealing with here. No I haven't been to the doctor and no I don't plan to stop having fun. :-O
So, to that end, I must tell you that I flipped my four wheeler this past Saturday. Yep. I surely did. Flipped over backwards. Thankfully it didn't land on me. But my lower back is a fairly tweaked but I'll live....probably.... :-D
Like I said, I appreciate all the kind words but this is nothing new. I've been this way my whole life. You gotta be a tough sum-bitch to be me. Hehe. It's all fun and games 'till somebody puts an eye out....
Sam, I'm late to this "when rocks and trees attack" story but I hope you have taken care of yourself and seen a Doctor.
Come on fess up. We know your wife kicked the crap out of you for riding quad instead of doing the chores....it's ok buddy you can tell us, lol.
I hope you're on the mend friend.

Okie I am praying all turns out alright for you and that no permanent damage has taken place. God Bless you and go see the doctor please! Kalo
"The Great Squirrel Incident", I can't wait to read that one
yer n idiot... now get to the dmn doctor.
get well soon okie.
will,
Man Okie, when you have a story to share, you don't mess around! I'd tend to agree with the others here who are telling you to get to the doctor. You better take care of yourself and get back to putting out your share of wonderful songs! We're countin' on you...
"Yeah I know….I’m an idiot."
What Sir Jim said. Get your bumpkin ass to the Dr, Sparky.
Nothing in your post suggests you're an idiot, except NOT going to see a Dr. And since Jim would need to drive kinda close by here, to go there, I'll hitch a ride with him. Individually, we probably couldn't take you, but together we would cart your ass to the Dr, whether you like it or not.
Don't be an idiot, Sam. Get your bumpkin ass to the Dr.
No no, I DO have MS and have been diagnosed. It's the falling off a cliff that they're saying I need to go to the doctor for.
See a Doc and get checked out just to make sure you're ok.
Sam, look at it this way, the Doc may have hired some cute summer interns from nursing school, OR he may be giving away free beer coupons to drum up business, you never know till you go check it out! While you are there get that knot on your hip checked, that can come back to haunt you years later, AND it will be hard to fret a Strat with a busted up left hand. I'm sure your head was hard enough to take the impact though
Yeah I know. I can't ever seem to do anything the easy way. But you're right, it DOES make for some good stories. But the thing is, this is NOT my first rodeo. I've had things like this happen all my life. To say that I'm accident prone would be the biggest understatement ever. But these days all I can do is laugh about it and at myself. And it IS funny. I'll post some other stories of my "adventures". One's like "The Great Squirrel Incident" and "How To Knock Your Own Dad Out" and "I think I can Fly" and "Shootin' A Mouse In A Bucket". There are many and are damn funny and 100% true.
To add to that, we aint' spring chicken no more, we don't heal like we used to!
Get to the dr and make sure everything is ok. If you do have MS, have it looked at immediately. There are all sorts of studies going on and new treatments. Like all studies, age and severity will all play a role so do not wait. The last thing you want to hear is, "If you came in a year ago...."
Okie, you're not an idiot, you're an embacile. Get your Okie Alligator Butt to the doctor or to Day Care. I hear Matlock is one now in a marathon.
Vic
yeah....right....
she keeps such a close eye on me....I fell off a freakin' cliff....
