They don't use vinegar and brown paper anymore!
I had a fall yesterday and gashed my head, cut my finger, sprained muscles and gathered quite a few bruises. Thankfully, I've somehow avoided concussion to go with it all.
Instead of stitches, I opted for 'glue' on my head and steri-strips on my finger. I've been told to take it easy for a few days.
I am okay today, apart from being rather sore and feeling a bit fragile, but I will be taking a few days off blogging (will read and post comments though) until I feel a bit better.
Margaret xx
Sorry to hear that. Hope you heal quickly.
ReplyDeleteOh Margaret, I am so sorry you fell and hurt yourself quite badly. As I am still coping with my recent fall I have extra sympathy for you. You'll feel the effects for a while so be very kind to yourself. And patient.

We could sit and have a cup of tea together and commiserate with each other! xx
DeleteSorry to hear you had a fall and hope you mend quickly. Take it easy for a few days as it’s quite a shock to the system. Garden is looking lovely. Someone has turned of the sun here, very dull days forecast for the next week, but I suppose it’s just November in the northern hemisphere!
ReplyDeleteOh No, so sorry to read about your fall. Rest up and mend quickly
ReplyDeleteThat sounds terrible... take care of yourself. And really relax and take it easy, sometimes the body needs a break. Like with you now.
ReplyDeleteAll the best wishes to you with warm greetings and many healing wishes.
Hug Viola
Hope you feel better soon, take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteOh- Margaret...we must be careful to avoid falls and injury- I had a large fall some weeks ago when I fell down I hit my face on the concrete path - luckily only grazed knees. Take it easy there and rest. KEV.
ReplyDeleteOuch Kev, that sounds like a nasty fall. Glad you never hurt yourself too much.
DeleteOuch! That would surely shake you up. Glad it wasn't any worse. Please take it easy!
ReplyDeleteLove your array of potted plants in the 'rockery'.
Oh, Margaret! Isnt it amazing how quickly things can happen? I hope you heal quickly.
ReplyDeleteOh boy!! It's horrible when you have a fall. Take it very easily and carefully. Keep zyrong
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your fall, Margaret. I am glad no bones were broken and no concussion occurred. Take care!
ReplyDeleteOh no, so sorry that you injured yourself in a fall. Rest and take good care!
ReplyDeleteOh Margaret, I am so sorry to hear that. Sounds like you had a really hard fall. Hope you heal quickly and feel better soon. I turned 82 in September and worry all the time about being careless or clumsy and falling. It is so easy to fall. Your little garden looks so pretty. At least you can enjoy watching it grow while you heal. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteOh no. That’s not good at all. Yes. It could of been worse.
ReplyDeleteRest up and come back when your better
Oh gosh! That's no good. It will take a few days for you to feel 'yourself' again, won't it. Meanwhile, be especially gentle with yourself. I think I have become much less confident in the last year or two, and I know my balance isn't what is was. I see Facebook pages of smiling people telling us how to do exercises (for the geriatric!!) and I think "What a good idea" but don't do them! Sigh.
ReplyDeleteoh no, not good, it seems as we get older we hurt ourselves more. I'm forever bumping into things and bruising myself.
ReplyDeleteI wonder about the healing properties of vinegar and brown paper. I think you did well to opt for glue and steri-strips.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I hope you heal quickly. I had never heard that verse before!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling a bit better now Margaret.
ReplyDeleteNasty... I opted for steri strips on a skin tear recently - it healed well, but took it's time.
ReplyDeleteDo hope you don't repeat, as we don't bounce the way we used to as we age.
Blessings
