Once again, currently laying in the bath.
Last time I did, I had a small mishap.
I appear to have twisted/sprained/hurt my ankle over the weekend, no idea how.
Anyway, as I got out of the bath, I had to do so the "wrong" way round to how I normally do, so I could put my dodgy foot out first, slowly transfer weight, and steady myself. All very slowly and deliberately. So far so good. Now to get the good leg out, easy peasy.
Only I caught my (good) heel on the edge of the bath, slightly unbalancing me, causing a stab of sharp pain up my poorly ankle, completely unbalancing me, falling arse over tit backwards, smacking my bonce against the door, knocking me senseless, and then landing on my right arm awkwardly and heavily, making it go immediately dead.
So I'm wedged between the door and the sink, with my head now in the bin that's scattered its contents everywhere, and struggling to move with agony in my poorly ankle and no feeling in my right arm. And Mrs TB, having heard the commotion, repeatedly trying to open the door, right into my back.
What a stupid arse I was.
Today, I've brought the cordless phone in, she can supervise ;D

More gout? :-\

If I'd ever done anything like that when she was alive then Maureen would've been too busy laughing her head off at me to have been of any help!Hope no lasting damage though.

Nope, this is a twist/sprain. Swollen like a balloon :(

I can't expect sympathy, as she has a long term injury to her ankle, and I've been typically pragmatic over hers... "its only a bit of pain"

Nasty Jaime, and one reason why we only have showers. At our age, such accidents are common, and a shower, with a seat if necessary, is so much nicer. We have a bath in the main bathroom if required to ease back pain etc. :y :y :y

Shower in morning, for speed, wallow in bath most evenings, to relax :)

Not so good... been xrayed?
At least both your cars have the wrong gearbox fitted :D

Man up. Bit of pain never hurt anyone. What are you, man or mouse? :P

RICE
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
If pain persists more than a few days, suspect more than a minor sprin and seek medical advice. I didnt on many occasions and now my right ankle is so mobile that my physio's nearly popped out of his head when he did some basic tests. Unless I wear boots I can no longer run offroad.

Not sure if it was the pain, or banging my nut, but I did feel a bit icky for a while

My missus would've pointed, laughed and then got the neighbours in too just for good measure LOL
Might have a bit of concussion if you feel a bit weird later....

Nooooope ::)
Excessive swelling can increase the damage that was done by the original action. This reaction happens quickly and subsides with time thus it is important to react quick.
Once it is under control, then hot baths can be of help :y

She'll hear the racket if I'm a silly tit again. Hopefully.

As you are getting on a bit and becoming unsteady on your feet do you want me to pop over and fit you some handrails. :)
