Omlet Smart Autodoor - New in box

[Cooks]

Whilst trying to take myself on my crutches the toilet I slipped on the laminate floor crashing my shoulder into the door frame and banging my head landing with an almighty crash on the floor, I now cannot move my right arm very much as it kills my shoulder (back of my shoulder)

I dont quite know how I am going to manage on crutches like this...

 

sorry feeling sorry form myself

[chick wiggle]

Oh Cookie, as soon as I read your post subject I thought, 'Oh no, whats she done now?' Awww, you poor thing. how on earth you gonna manage with your crutches! How painful is your shoulder,? is it worth getting the doc to have a look?

Aww, I feel so sorry for you now

Chin up Hon, surely it cant get any worse , Oh dear I shouldnt say that should I ?

[Cooks]

no you shouldn't say that I dont really know how bad it is other than I cant move my arm above the elbow area otherwise I scream. My hands hurt where I tried to grab the door frame to steady myself and I have a thick head

 

I am currently wedged up against some pillows

 

I tell you I am a danger to myself! This is the second time I've slipped over, first time not so bad.

 

I have no idea how I can walk on crutches... well the answer is basically I can't.. not at this present time.

[theherd123]

Cookie!

 

Honestly you wont have any uninjured limbs in a bit!

 

Please just find a seat on the sofa & dont move!

[chick wiggle]

Oh my goodness Cookie, it sounds really painful and maybe needs looking at?

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Oh no, you poor thing . Sounds like you should have it looked at .

 

I think you should spend 2 weeks in bed with your laptop (and a chamber pot ).

[bigmommasally]

Oh No! Not another accident. You poor thing

 

Perhaps someone on here can lend you a commode then you won't need to struggle to the loo

 

Big Hugs to you - hope you feel better soon

[Lesley]

Oh No!! - I'm sure you must be Carl's secret sister

 

You'll have to have a commode - and stay there on it all the time! - park it in front of the laptop and TV

 

(sorry - that's not very helpful is it? )

[Lesley]

Snap Sally!

[Cooks]

I think maybe I need looking at

 

Yes your right Emma, total menace I am, I thought I had grown out of my errm clumsy stage, obviously not.

 

ANH a chamber pot??? seriously??? me???? errrm I freaked out at the hospital when I had my op when they suggested a similar experience, I think not..

 

I will see how it is tomorrow, it's been whacked so it will hurt, it's probably just bruised and I will feel a total numb skull going back there saying I fell over!

[Cooks]

Oh No!! - I'm sure you must be Carl's secret sister

(sorry - that's not very helpful is it? )

 

I already ahve two brothers they are enough... please dont tell me I have another..

 

Thanks everyone, I am very sore I have to admit, but have taken a hefty pain killer.

In my defence I dont think I would have fallen without this silly boot on my foot and crutches.

[chick wiggle]

Thats right cookie, you blame it on the silly boot!

[Cooks]

Thats right cookie, you blame it on the silly boot!

well it IS the boot no stop making me laugh!!! seriously hurting. owie

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Oh Cookie you are a noodle

 

Are any of your neighbours medical bods you could call on to have a look for you? I know it's the sort of thing which is "frowned upon" in normal circumstances, but being on crutches already & the current weather conditions, maybe you could be forgiven for asking

At least I think a call to your GP would be in order.......or a trip to A&E if the roads aren't too horrendous between you & the nearest hospital if DH is around to drive you of course. I'd say (in my non-medical opinion ) that you have done something nasty if you can't move the arm without screaming pain

 

Sending you huge painkilling {{{hugs}}}

OK everyone, pack it in with making Cookie laugh - she could bust a rib at this rate!

[Cooks]

well if its no better tomorrow (allowing time for bruising to come out) I will get to a&e or the docs but seriously they already have my card marked!! I am sure they roll their eyes at me...

 

I really dont want to think about me shoulder being injured more than a bad bruising, I dont think I would cope with that right now.

 

oi Emma blooming laughing stock I am. *gentle*

[hillfamily]

Ouch Cookie...you poor thing Please try to take care

 

Sending big big big healing hugs xxx

I must say, on a serious note, I do agree with Wild Mum.....

 

You ARE a Noodle!!

 

( sorry)

[Cooks]

hey hey hey no laughing remember!!!

 

but yes I am a noodle. thats putting it mildly

[bluekarin]

Oh Cookie! Not a great way to start off a new year. I agree with everyone else that if you are in that much pain you should get it looked at pronto. Big hugs coming at you ((((hugs))))

 

When I broke my ankle, before the op, I was sent home with it in a temp back slab plaster . Being new to crutches I wasn't very good at them, so as soon as I got in the door, I moved forward too far and fell onto bad foot with all my body weight. OUCH! I still feel sick thinking about it. Anyway, the point I am getting to is, as I didn't get on with crutches in the beginning, I got and old lady zimmer frame for getting about in the house and for the many, many hospital trips. Once my ankle was better, ie it didn't hurt everytime I moved, I progressed to crutches and was okay. Maybe for just getting to the loo it might be worth asking about.

[Cooks]

I wouldn't be able to lift if with my shoulder the way it is, not at the moment. looks like I will be bum shuffling there.

[jlo]

You poor old thing. Ibuprofen tonight and get it looked at pronto. It sounds very painful!!

[ClaireG]

Oh Cookie As well as taking painkillers do you have any arnica for the bruising? Also try and keep it as warm as you possibly can. Hope you manage to get some sleep tonight and please do get it looked at in the morning. Sending you lots of gentle healing hugs.
