Tiggy Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I knew Id gone too long without doing something stupid My knee has not been right for a long time and on Monday it gave way when I was going up stairs.

Alis girls Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Tiggy I learnt a long time ago not to get sympathy from others in the surgery. If I was wheeled in in a coffin I would be told off for something - get well soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggy Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Tiggy I learnt a long time ago not to get sympathy from others in the surgery. If I was wheeled in in a coffin I would be told off for something - get well soon you're not wrong there. Many years ago I had a very bad asthma attack at work and was wheeled out to the ambulance when one of the patients tugged my sleeve to ask where I thought I was going because she had an appointment with me Just as well I was hooked up to the oxygen and she could hear what I said My patients have been very sympathetic tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Ouchy!! Poor you! x I fell off a two-step ladder a few weeks back and ended up battered and bruised and in tears - I thought I had broken my arm. (In retrospect........methinks I should have gone to A&E at the time as it's weeks later and still very painful.) I just don't seem to bounce as well anymore.......

Ziggy Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Oh Tiggy I feel for you... Five weeks ago I went to bed, then decided to go downstairs to make sure the girls had turned the lights off after feeding their pets, and went down in the dark stairway, and missed just one step,The last one to make it worse, and one hour later was in a&e with a broken metatarsal. I received quickly but couldn't drive for ages, which was awful. Last time ever I'm trying to be green and check in lights. Thankfully unlike you I don't have to go to work, I don't know how I'd cope with life if not only OH and DDs had expectations but work had some too. I'm thinking of investing in inflatable protection suits, wanna join me in a business venture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
