[lady-janine]

what have you peeps done that wiould come under this heading?

yesterday afternoon i tripped, fell and was in agony and am now in plaster from shoulder to knuckles. hurts despite the pain killers.

silly me.

[excelsior-1]

oh no!

that is awful .. i'm very sorry for you .. have you broken something?

[albaqwerty]

ooh LJ xxx you poor thing. I hope you'll be getting pampered.
Speedy recovery xxxxx {hugs} but just a gentle one.

[lady-janine]

yes. i had hoped it was bad bruising but knew from pain it was more. i feel badly onto a concrete floor and smashed the elbow area. two hosps later and i'm moving carefully.

two hosps + travel time meant i was out of viewing from mid-afternoon until about midnight and not really in the mood to check anything. but as i said thank you. i believe you have lots of requests now.

[lady-janine]

thanks alba. hugs appreciated.

[excelsior-1]

[waterboatman]

jan you have my sympathy. Such things can, and do, happen to anyone at any time. It's painful I know, but it will get better, rest it as much as you can. xxx

bit of a proplem not being able to drive. and work.

Poor you, what a dreadful thing to happen. Sometimes the smallest of little accidents can have dreadful results. A couple of years ago now, I was getting into our car, and tripped over one of the kerbstones that edge our front lawn. Pretty painful, but I thought it would ease off. Went to work, then my shoe started getting really tight, hobbled off to A&E, next thing I knew I was getting a diagnosis of a broken ankle. So that was my life scuppered for the best part of 8 weeks. Off work for 12!

Hope you get better soon, lady-janine - but make sure you take care of everything and do everything you're told by the medics. You must also make sure you do the physio stuff - it's very important for a full recovery.
Get well soon, Chox.

Aw lady-j - sympathies - I won't hug in case it hurts :-)

OH fell on the ice and snapped his kneecap - that was six months ago, the GP is only just now prescribing him cautiously fit.

My accident tend not to involve me (fingers crossed) but my attachments - I fell in the street a while back, and smashed the lens in my rather expensive specs... if I stumble or trip it's specs/teeth/face that I worry about damaging!

[lady-janine]

thanks chox.

hosp wouldn't say how long it would take but ominously the doc on duty got the orthopaedic surgeon to have a geek. have been very lucky as not broken anything before.

[lady-janine]

oh boxtops what a shame. were you able to claim on insurance?

[boxtops]

For the specs - not at the time, but I could now if I did it again!

[Sheenamf]

Ouch! You have my sympathies, especially not being able to drive. A few years ago I broke my foot just stepping off a doorstep and not being able to drive was the worst part, once the pain had settled of course!

[lady-janine]

no boxy it's not worth it.

thanks sheena. rural areas really leave you stranded on these occasions don't they.

[lcg]

oh poor you! i broke my wrist last november (first bone ever) and was surprised at how much it hurt and how clunky and useless plasters are. i do feel for you and you must take it easy - if the painkillers aren't enough, go and see your gp today as an emergency appointment. take care x

[lady-janine]

thanks lgc. he will think i'm an emmet. haven't seen him for about 10 years. he'll propably ask me how long i'm on holday for.
