I got the out, but it felt like my right arm was going to fall off. I later found out that I had elbow tendinitis. The upshot was that I had a Toyota with a stick shift and I had to shift with my left hand on the way home.
Timco - I had the same experience with a ladder. I fell from the height of a second story gutter. Fortunately I didn't have to drive because it happened at my house. I also did not catch my fingers under the ladder. I do remember laying there wiggling my toes and fingers and being thankful that I wasn't paralyzed.

I've fallen about 20' onto a hardwood floor as an extension ladder slipped out that was set against a beam in a mansion in Park City. Each time I have fallen I check feet and hand function. When a wrench hit my face I checked my eye. I can't think of all the times I've been hit or fallen hard enough to need to check hand and feet function. 74 year old friend fell from a fruit picking ladder this weekend. Fractured skull, removed part for swelling. 2 surgeries now to repair his ribs. So sad.
