Alis girls Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Earlier this month ES cracked his head open - the house looked like the set of CSI - blood everywhere. Today elderly dad fell and cracked his cheekbone - hes now sporting a shiner of a black eye. Checked out be hospital and all ok - managed to eat soup and yoghurt as his mouth is sore. i am thinking of buying crash helmets for us all - including cats and chickens - I am knackered I can tell you.

surfer_chicken Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 My Dad manages give himself a head injury on pretty much every family holiday. So far he has slipped on heavily barnacled rocks in Wales; gone over the top of his bike in France (with no helmet!) and even succeeded to get hit by a car in Germany this time last year (he checked the wrong way for cars ), so if you find any fashionable crash helmets for everyday use please point them out! I hope your dad feels better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Will do - thanks everyone - the elderly do seem to bruise badly - and I have warned him about after shock and tiredness. In some ways I am glad he did it here rather than at home - as at least i can keep an eye on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pips_pekins Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I am knackered I can tell you. Oh crikey! I hope both ES and your dad are feeling better. Not surprised you are feeling the strain. I hope this weekend is uneventful and you get a good rest. What about getting everyone one of these? That way, if they fell over they would just bounce http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0013Y5GWO/ref=asc_df_B0013Y5GWO5016581?smid=A2U1HFY5XPF3O&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22218&creativeASIN=B0013Y5GWO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
