Title: Fall
Post by: Old Cruser on March 15, 2025, 10:30:10 AM
I went a cropper last Monday ( pleased it was the week after the history presentation!!)
Tripped on the Patio ( long story ) fortunately granddaughter ( she's a paramedic) and grandson  came and helped me up there was at least a 2 hour waiting time for an ambulance and at 5.30 I didn't fancy staying outside for hours.
Out of hours Dr called and said I needed a head scan - ( yeh - it's been said before   :)))
So Granddaughter took me in her car and left to go to work as her shift was due to start.
A&E was Packed apparently Mondays are known for it ?????
Checked in at 7pm out at 3.am  :(
Head scan was ok (  seee I told you I'm not crackers    :P )
Anyway, I did a good job and my face, legs, arms are battered and bruised BUT my heads ok  :P :))

Starting to recover now fortunately and should be able to wear my driving glasses ( thought my nose was broken)
We have a memorial service today in the village gardens at 11am for the Tupton Bombing Victims in 1941 so my first drive out as I want to attend the service.
Just going to the service as don't want all the questions about what happened to my face which is a bigger mess than I was born with  :-? ::) :)) :))

I certainly didn't jump up !!  :-? :))
I'm ok now though thanks everyone, still bruised but didn't need to return to A&E as the Dr said I might.
I walked up to Ashover Rock on Friday ( not sure how I managed that with out rolling back down though :-?
After that we trekked through the Blue bell wood. I surprised myself as didn't ache the day after either. (y)
