    About 5 years ago ( while still working a factory job) I slipped on the ice out back and busted up my ankle bad.

    Ambulance ride, 5 days in the hospital and 4 weeks off work then only light duty for another 8 weeks. I was the manager so I managed to get full pay for the 8 weeks but not the 4 I spent at home. I had health insurance but still over $20k out of pocket. Spent another 2 weeks at home after a second surgery 4 months later.

    I was 10’ tall and bulletproof before that happened . Physically and financially.......
    after that I had to start all over.......

    Now nothing scares me more than getting hurt or sick.

    It can wipe you out quick. Emotionally, financially and physically.

    Now that I’m self employed I am more prepared but, might be better for my family if I just DON’T recover if I go down?

    Grand Daddy's BBQ in Gafney gets a thumbs up from this guy!! Stick with the ribs and wings you'll be happy you did! Best $17 I've spent today! I feel like I need a nap now.. but no time for that. People on Staten Island need their Beamers!!
