Today [2]

[mitchell65]

Today I'm still off work recuperating from the fall I had whilst decorating.
That was on the 8th of March. I broke two ribs and gave myself a slight lung bleed.
Here we are on the 25th and I still have blood in my lung and still can't do much. I've got it down to about 90 seconds to get my trousers on, bit longer taking them off, and sleeping is sporadic.
Also the codeine knocks me out so my decorating is at a dead halt as I either don't have the energy or I go back to bed.
Oh well. I am much better than I was last week and I have the money to buy a monitor for my bedroom pc so things are on the up.

Enjoy your reunion Kari

Cheers all, John

I know exactly how you feel. I had a cracked vertibrae that had to be pinned and cemented together. The surgeon told me it should last OK as he used a fresh bag of portland cement. The pain killers made me feel worse than the pain but I lived to tell the tale. Am making a good recovery but at three score years and ten plus 2 its taking its time. Shall I come up north to hold you hand and we can both comiserate. Now there's a thought. Seriously though hope you get well soon. I was going to say keep laughing but that hurts when you have broken your ribs.

Hope you get better John

Get well, John, that sounds like a PITA to live with.

That seems to be the part that is excluded... sorry...

That must be tough, John. I've had bruised ribs, from a seatbelt (at least I was wearing it though! ) before, and I was a wreck....coughing was agony, a deep breath hurt, and if I laid down on my bed, I couldn't sit up unless I scooted my legs off onto the floor first. So I imagine breaking the ribs must be even worse! Hope you recover quickly.

 

[johnwillyums]

You describe it well noobvious and it is a PITA to live with.
Also thanks for the offer to come up and tend to me Mitchell65 but it's a long way and I don't think there's much you could do except make me laugh and I don't really want that right now.
The other night I watched a repeat of QI that was so funny I had to leave the room and think of Doncaster on a wet Wednesday to stop from LOL!

Seriously though, thanks for the well wishes. It's just getting me down cos it's going on and on. I feel better in most ways, just can't do stuff.
Hey Ho. There are a lot worse situations to be in than sat in front of my computer chatting to nice folk

Hey John,

Keep your spirits up - or drink some down

Just gonna take time

 

[mitchell65]

I reckon that Avatar is the best I have seen in a long time. Should it not carry a government health warning though?

 

[Barman58]

The Avatar doesn't, but I do

 

[Thorsen]

His avatar is proof that smoking will ruin your eyesight.....if your a chimp

 

[Barman58]

I'm more often called a chump than a chimp but if you check my profile page you will see a definite family likeness

 

[starwolf1336]

Today i got to spend time with a friend that came down from germany.

Aah, yes I take your point there's definitely a resemblance, quick where's the door I'm outa here

 

[Kari]

Yeah, that chimp and Nigel surely look like brothers.

Especially that chimp...

 

[Barman58]

The likeness was the whole reason I changed to the avatar when I found it, and it's the only way to smoke indoors these days

:roflmao:

 

[CarlTR6]

John, I hope you mend quickly.

 

[johnwillyums]

Thanks Carl

Thanks Carl

Ohhh John .. bless you.. and get well fast..
nothing broke or bruised is any fun... everything is such a hard task..
I broke a bone near my right thumb ( in my wrist ) last spring.. I took a tumble in the yard.. after talking to my neighbor.. he never knew I fell..I thought It's was ok.. then looked at my hand.. nope this has to be seen about.. so drove my self to the emergency room.. took 6 very long weeks to get out of the cast.. that's my dominate hand.. so you can imagine what trying to get dressed was like.. and doing make-up and hair..brushing my teeth.. flossing was totally OUT.

Today, huh?

Today I finished burning 50 DVDs of a talent show for the PTA fundraiser I filmed at my daughter's school last month.

As a surviver of a fall I wish you all the best in your recovery. Take it easy and take as much time as needed. Fabe

You are a very good DAD.. no doubt you daughter is so pleased you did this ..if not now then she will later on.
Schools need more Dad's like you to help out.. when my daughter was in school.. we had almost all of the parents involved.. now it's rare to get one or two who will... children who have parents involved in what they are doing.. are much better students.. rarely get in any trouble.
I'm very ppleased to know you care.
