Hubby fell of his moped the other day

 

Now I am not terribly sympathetic to injuries and illnesses - anyone who has worked for me will testify to that! So I checked the moped for damage and that was about it

 

Anyway hubby has been grumping around the house for a few days holding up his arm like a sick puppy holds up its paw and I have been spectacularly brisk with him

 

I finally relented today and took him to the minor injuries clinic at the hospital today who took one look at him and sent him to casualty

 

Even in casualty I joked about an on the spot fine for hypochondriacs

 

Four hours and some x rays later they have decided he has cracked ribs and has a very bad shoulder and back injury and he is sitting here arm in sling, with ten days off work and physio sessions booked in

 

I feel so guilty

 

if he is lucky I might do the washing up!

[The Dogmother]

you sound like me Tasha - having a high pain threshold, I brush stuff like that off. Phil knows better than to whine now (good job he doesn't live heer really) and Rosie gets a plaster and that's it

 

Wish him better from me.

 

How's the moped?

[ClaireG]

Oh no, you horrid wicked wife you I hope he is feeling better soon and it hasn't knocked his confidence with the moped too much.

[Space Chick]

Oh Tasha, I hope OH is OK

 

Although I would be the same I think, so don't feel guilty. Its like the boy who cried wolf, they complain at having flu having sneezed twice, so its hardly surprising that we don't take things seriously when they complain.

 

A bit of pampering and I'm sure he'll be fine

[Egluntyne]

Poor him.

 

Look after him....after all, he is beginning to warm to the chickens.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Poor guy . I hope he didn't dare say "told you so" .

 

Hope he feels better soon .

[Plum]

Can't he wash up with the other arm.

 

Sorry Tasha's OH, poor you hope you feel better now you are getting sympathy and your wife is being dutiful and peeling you grapes.

[Snowy]

Oh Tasha!

A few years ago my OH was complaining of chest pain and I kept telling him it was muscular. Eventually I got fed up of his moaning and sent him to the GPs. They told him it was angina!!! Boy did I feel guilty (but only for a couple of weeks -when he went to the cardiac clinic they confirmed it was actually muscle pain ) He didn't half milk it for those two weeks though

 

Hope OH feels better soon xxx

[Lewis]

Sorry Tasha's OH, poor you hope you feel better now you are getting sympathy and your wife is being dutiful and peeling you grapes.

... and feeding the peeling to the chooks

 

Hope he forgives you soon enough!

Nah even the best hubbies don't get grapes, they are always for the chooks

[joybelle]

O dear poor Ian hope he feels better soon.

I bought a moped years ago to get me to work a brand new one but

I kept falling off it so I got rid of it but I lost an awful lot of money.

Thats what I am worried about here, he is not exactly confident on the roads, he never learned to drive, mind you I only learned 5 years ago so there is hope for him yet

[Rhapsody]

if he is lucky I might do the washing up!

 

 

Awww bless, tell him its ok you'll save it up and e can do it all when he's better

[Alis girls]

I will get lynched here but i wonder if men possibly whinge more than us ladies who often suffer pain with monthlies,childbirth etc. And we still even if feeling dreadful care for, cook clean and do school runs whislt feeling like death. Sorry boys but you do go on rather. I can be unsymapthetic to OH especially when he tells me my stiff neck is an injury and not a viral infection. I'venot even had an injury.

[The Dogmother]

Over the years, I've come to the conclusion that most men (and Rosie!) are moaning minnies. Except me ex who slashed his knee open and refused to get it seen to ('just a scratch' ) so I had to steri-strip it for him.

 

Phil's not good with pain at all, but knows better than to moan to me says she who walked around with a broken ankle for two days before getting it plastered.. 'but it hardly hurts'

[Redwing]

I can't - we have run out of spoons and glasses

I'm sure he can walk to the shop to get some plastic spoons and glasses to tide you over until he can wash-up again .

 

I love that F&S sketch, had me rolling about and picturing my grandma who was very like that .

[joybelle]

Dont think Tasha has many if any shops where she lives!!!

Ouch, poor guy! But I'm a bit like that. Several moons ago OH was putting in a chandelier (nothing fancy, just an iron lookalike thing with 3 pretend candles) on the landing. He turned off the electricity and set to work. I did hear him kind of laughing "whoo hoo whoo hoo hoo" Kind of the old Daffy Duck looney laugh - which is the norm here as someone is always jumping out on him, so I ignored it. Turns out he was electrocuting himself - he'd turned off the downstairs lights by mistake. He was rather miffed that I didn't come to see if he was alright - and when I found out I burst out laughing - insult to injury that was.

[Redwing]

Sorry I shouldnt laugh but you described it so vividly!
