I suspect his wife is miffed to say the least. Moral of the stoy is don't climb up on your rig if you are over 55, or leaving on trip you had planned for a year, especially if you never took out cancelation insurance.
I fell off mine about 10 years back, I was lucky, just knocked the ind out of myself.
Doesn't have to be a ladder or very high. Maybe just clumsy, I fell off my tailgate when loading just before a trip. Still made trip though. I've got the worlds record for driving with cruise control. WA state to CT. In town I had a string to operate gas pedal. Swelling or pain really didn't go down, saw a DR when we got to CT 5 days later. Turns out I broke my ankle. One of the most painful things I ever experienced.
