Karen & co. Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Today I thought we could spend the day at home in the garden Twas not to be, as OH fell 15' from a ladder and we ended up in hospital He was soooo lucky, as he landed on his feet and fell backwards, one very sore s"Ooops, word censored!"ed back and stiff neck later, he is home, and starting to feel very sore and stiff If anyone else is tackling DIY this weekend, do stay safe karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Oh gosh Karen - so sorry to hear about the fall - it's so easy done. Give OH lots of TLC and hopefully he'll soon be back doing all those chores that you need him to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 OWW Well hopefully he won't do it again It's my only fear with working on a ladder - that could have been much worse! Hope he feels better soon and I love the Crimewatchesque warning at the end of your post A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 OWW and I love the Crimewatchesque warning at the end of your post A xx couldn't resist putting that in. Actually I think this morning he got a bit of insight into just how close he came to being seriously hurt, dosed up on analgesia, and relatively immobile makes you stop and think He is very sore and stiff, and as usual with bruising etc. it takes a few days to come out, so technicoloured too karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Ouch. He has been really lucky. A friend recently fell 20ft whilst rock climbing, smashed all the ribs on one side, punctured his lung and broke his back, thankfully they think no spinal damage but still not sure as he's in intensive care on a ventilator. Plenty of TLC needed, hugs sent to you both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
