Sounds like the advice that Loudon Wainwright gives for another situation:

Driving on a**d is easy
Driving on a**d's a breeze
Just keep your eyes on the highway
Don't laugh and don't f**t and don't sneeze

You silly old gunner!
I hope it was an ex-RN scab-lifter who arrived in the ambulance and gave you the usual sympathetic reception.

At least it will keep you quiet for a while

Hope you get well soon

Sorry to hear that Mike. It sounds like it could have been a lot worse though.

I hope you recover soon.

Sorry to hear that Mike and hope you have a speedy recovery.
Still, It could have been worse, you could have landed on your head.
...... On second thoughts........
