2 radial fractures

[ROCKLIN SIGNS]

Guess what I did Thursday...

Right leg 2 radial fractures tibia.

junk ladder. 3 rungs up. inside. The ol duck, drop, roll didnt work out this time.

Really a test a faith and determination going on here. I have had sprains and some arm injury, but never a broken leg.

Being a one man sign shop and a broken leg.. really makes for a lousy time.

I guess if I had insurance. it might be a little better. ( i do not see how, except to pay the doctor bills)

So if anyone out there needs a job selling signs.. I still have openings..

Work is still being done.. I have a tall chair and can fabricate like the rest of them.

If I can get someone selling lots of signs, I can hire some fabricators and install peeps.

I had a business partner.. but he only put 2 months into it then bailed. he wont come back unless he gets 6 days a week. 5 days at 35 hr and the last day at 45 an hour.

If I had that kind of cash... I would be able to hire a whole fleet of quality sign people instead of 1 that would only do fab, complain, and drink beer all day.

I am determined and need to keep this going.

Anyways.. just my 2 cents

A big fat, "THAT SUX!"

Oh man, I feel for you. That has to be one of my biggest fears also being a one man show. I'm not the most overly conservative worker when it comes to safety and I'm also not the industry Evel Knievel on a ladder or dancing on top of a pole sign like some people I know, but I am one to "take chances". I think this is why I never did buy that motorcycle that was calling my name or do the things I used to before I had a family.

Injury can happen on the job or crossing the street.

A wise man once told me (and advice I have never taken) that you need to build your business to the point where it can run without you if need be.

Were you on a job site when this happened, how did you get to the hospital? anyhow,I hope your leg gets better, but damn that sounds painful.
