News after my fall

As the days go by I am feeling a lot better. Now wounded pride is setting in. They say laughter is the best medicine and this video helps me see I am not alone. So this weeks idiot award I give to myself.

On a side note I was catching up on my email today and came across this news story. I guess stairs are out to get ACO's. I truly hope he is OK and I am only making fun of myself.

A veteran Stafford animal control officer was critically injured Sunday when he fell down some steps at his home, police said.

Dennis R. Ottley, 59, was in intensive care last night at Mary Washington Hospital, Sheriff's Maj. David Decatur said. He was in critical condition.

"We're keeping the Ottleys in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time and we hope everyone else will do the same," Decatur said.

Animal control is under Sheriff Charles Jett, and Ottley is also a sworn deputy.

He has worked for Stafford animal control since November 1990.

Decatur said Ottley's wife called 911 from their home on Leeland Road in southern Stafford at 8:33 p.m. Sunday after hearing a noise.

She found her husband at the bottom of the steps in the basement, unconscious and unresponsive.

Rescue workers rushed him to the hospital.

The animal control division is headed by chief animal control officer Michael Null Jr. and has six officers.

Decatur said it became part of the Sheriff's Office in 1991.
