Oisk Falls, Gets Up

Carl Erskine, whose 80th birthday it was on Wednesday, fell down outside his Anderson, Ind. home on Tuesday.
"I was telling my wife (Betty) I only had three hours left until my birthday," Erskine recalled. "I told her anything can happen in three hours. Well, I then took the recycling out and I took a spill. I have two artificial hips and I flipped this (right) one out. I was laying there whistlin' hard for Betty.

"My birthday came in at midnight (Wednesday) in the emergency room of St. John's on a gurney. I looked at my wife and said, `I made it.'"

He celebrated his birthday from a hospital gurney, but was later released in good health.
