*HUGS* Glad you're okay!! Talk about one of those experiences you look back on and go "Wow, that was way worse than I thought at the time. How did I live to be this old?" Really, sometimes it's better when you don't know what might be lurking in the bushes waiting to eat you.

Seriously, I'm so glad to hear that you're home and safe and reasonably intact. Ice, Advil, Bactine, and Neosporin are your friends. I'm sorry that the pants are a wash, but at least the skin will heal.

BTW, a few geek-types are getting together sometime next weekend to see "The Dark Knight" (location and time TBD Sunday Afternoon, Location TBD). You're welcome to join the pack, if you have any interest.
