Great to hear ! I have a similar story other than mine is pretty much all on me . Was putting up a ladder stand the 10 th of Jan . Something I've done so many times but this time it caught up with me . Had it tied off low and midway up the tree and was trying to get my ratchet strap around the base of the seat . Really windy and I'm not sure if the tree moved away from me or me and the ladder moved. Anyway the ladder started bending backwards and I knew I was in trouble . Can't remember if I landed flat of my back or tried to jump and land on my feet. I have a compression fracture of the L 1 vertebra . Neurosurgeon says 2-3 months and should heal without surgery. Most painful thing I've ever dealt with ! Thankful for a caring wife !
