Glad you’re still here and able to tell the story. Your work here must not be done yet.

Read your narrative to my wife and she was equally amazed, and then paraphrased the cowardly lion:
"We do believe in God, we do believe in God, we do believe in God"

You are right that God exists. Your testimony is stronger now and you should share it with other believers to help strengthen theirs. Glad that you will heal and be there for your grandchild/grandchildren.

God blessed Theo by keeping grandpa from having any vital organs damaged. May He continue to bless you, Theo and the rest of your family for many years to come.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Well....that was one harrowing experience. I applaud you for handling it as well as could be done.

Day to day we all get caught up in our activities and don't often stop to count our blessings. Wild that a freakish accident nearly took your life (right in front of your Grandson). None are guaranteed our next breath.

But glad you were spared and pray that your recovery is swift and complete. And YES....there is a loving God.

Heal quickly. Your grandson probably has plenty of welding projects in his mind now and needs you to finish the lessons ;). One question about your handle. Runs With Scissors sounds like something similar may have happened in the past :unsure:.

That is just how quickly life can do a 180. One minute you are hating your life, and the next you're amazed you're still alive.

hahaha....I suppose it would seem that way after my ordeal, but my handle was just from a running joke.

Years ago, there was a shooting range near me, and believe it or not, its name was "Hunts with Double"??????

So a friend of mine and I were shooting the breeze (with a few drinks) and we were discussing what a stupid name that was, so in the "fog of drinking" we unofficially renamed it "Runs With Scissors"

The range is long gone, but "Runs With Scissors" lives on. (y) (y)🍸🍸

Now that we got all the serious (and justified ) comments out of the way, I need to ask if there’s a chance we may get the next “Runs with Scissors episode” titled:

“How I modified my grout stirrer…” ? 🤣

Guess we already got the “how it came to haunt me” part…

Again, glad you are OK!

You are very lucky to be alive, and those EMTs will have a story to tell about how some guy tried to commit harri karri with a mixing paddle and live to talk about it. Falling is a common cause of older people losing their lives. In my EMT experience, I have run into these types of accidents and usually, they are fatal because the hospital that knows how to treat the wound is a long way off. Just keep an eye out for any red streaks indicating an infection. You are one very very very lucky person.

Good to hear that you're still around @Runs With Scissors. (y)

We're all free to believe or not believe what we want in our attempt to understand the world that we live in. For me, proof of, or at least the suggestion of the existence of some omnipotent being would have to come in the form of the grout stirrer turning into an ice cream cone right before you landed on it.
