Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'...and posting injury pics as well an hour later. Proud of you Dave. Glad it's just an arm...we would hate to lose your mind and memory!
And glad you just worked yourself off the back edge of a trailer instead of the edge of a 2nd story roof.
Good roof safety is to tie off; pretty-good safety is to hammer in a "toe board" at the bottom so your feet get a reminder when you're getting close to the edge. Maybe a similar approach is a good idea for lower ledges as well. Or a sheet of plywood as a temporary extension you can back onto without falling.
But don't quit. The injuries may get worse as we age but that just means we have to outsmart the Old Devil out of whatever snares he's got laid for us.
Heal up quick Good Friend.
