Hello ZS, and please excuse my ignorance. I'm new around here so I'm not sure whether you mean 'fell' physically or spiritually (i.e. are all those details real or moshol). Either way, I feel sorry for you and wish you a full and speedy recovery.

MT

That's the problem with having such a long neck. You dont always see where those legs are going. Glad to see you are up and hopefully running soon.

Hey buddy. Kudos on getting up instead of wallowing in the mud. Care to share the details of your fall?
Love,
Mottel

hi MT,
nice to 'meet' you,
the only thing that was not literal was the part about kumbaya, i dont know the tune. other than that it means what it says. i fell, physically. broke some real physical bones.

Mottel, it was a fall in the physical sense, not a gye-fall, b'h

i think this here giraffe will be hovercrafting around for the next little while

Ouch!
Sorry Zemmy!

Lucky you didn't fare the way this giraffe did:

DENVER AND THE WEST Zoo's giraffe euthanized after fall

The Denver Post

After a lengthy rescue effort, officials at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo on Friday night euthanized a 20-year-old female giraffe after she was unable to recover from an afternoon fall.

The giraffe, named Uhura, was accepting a cracker from a zoo visitor when another giraffe stepped into her and she lost her footing. Uhura fell down a slope and couldn't stand up. Zoo staff and firefighters using rescue equipment worked four hours to get Uhura to a standing position but found she could not remain standing on her own.

Uhura was then moved to a flat area and was sitting up, but not getting up. Her condition continued to decline, until veterinarians decided to euthanize Uhura.

Uhura had 10 offspring from 1995 through 2009, including seven females and three males. Five still live at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. Yesenia Robles, The Denver Post

Refuah shelayma Zemmy.
Rebbe Nachman z"l says if you fall down and people laugh at you it is because you were not mechabed yom tov properly. If no one laughed at you it just means you fell down.

Here's a joke to cheer you up and maybe provide an explanation for why you fell:

A man walks into a bar with a giraffe and they proceed to get very drunk. The giraffe drinks so much it passes out on the floor. The man gets up and heads for the door to leave when the bartender yells, "Hey! You can't leave that lyin' there!" The drunk replies, "That's not a lion! It's a giraffe."

Hi Zemmy,

You're on the repua shlema list. I bumped you up ahead of my friends canary.

A police officier is stopped at a red light. While there, he notices quite a (bez)din coming from the trunk of a car in front of him. He approaches the driver of said car and instructs him to get out of the vehicle and open the trunk. The driver complies, and in the trunk are a dozen giraffes. The police officer says, "Take these giraffes to the zoo immediately!!" The driver says, "Right away officer!" and drives off.
The following day the cop is at the same red light, and who should be stopped in front of him but the same car with the same loud noise coming from the trunk.
The cop is really irritated now and again tells the driver to get out and open his trunk. There are the same dozen giraffes, only this time they're all wearing sunglasses.
The policeman says, "I told you to take these giraffes to the zoo!", to which the driver replies, "But officer, I did...today they want to go to the beach!"

thank you Alex, shteeble, mottel, 1daat, UAj, BB, Gevura for your kind brachos, tefilos, advice, jokes and encouragement

i am flattered to be mustered ahead of the canary and i really like that wheelchair

Hope you're feeling better, buddy.
