No more turning till after new year

[Bill Mooney]

On Saturday I fell down 3 concrete steps outside my front door. It was raining hard & I got hold of the handrail bit there was so much water on the handrail that my hand aquaplaned down the handrail & off the end. I went headlong down the steps twisting my body as I went & landed smack on my right elbow. I hit the bone & lost quite a bit of skin & flesh off the elbow.
I went to A&E yesterday where they cleaned & dressed the wound then ex-rayed the elbow. No broken bones but they put a restraining bandage on to stop me moving the elbow. I got spare dressings & antibiotics & I was out in 11/2 hours. Must be a record for A&E. The pain level is12-10 so I’ve had a couple of long restless nights.

Take it easy [MENTION=603]Bill Mooney[/MENTION] hope you heal soon and are able to get back into the swing of things. Glad it was not a broken bone at least but still enough to lay you up.


How many times have we told you to stop sliding down the banister

 

[Garno]

Bill that's an awful thing to happen and I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Been there mate and understand. My mate the toy maker had a cure for balance and other things,bloke in Canberra who used a head cage with electrodes and a giant hammer to gently send messages whilst raising him in a special chair. He had major balance,Menniers etc,two visits apparently the tiny crystals in the ear get reassembled.As a frequent faller I am booked in first week in January. All the best mate.

Gosh, sounds nasty Bill. Hope you recover soon.

That sucks to say the least.
A couple weeks ago I slipped on some ice and went down on my right elbow and back, my head being the last to bounce off the concrete. Head was fine after 3 or four days but the elbow smarts if I put pressure on one spot of cartilage. The only benefit is it is keeping me from putting my elbows on the table.
Speedy recovery.
