Bummer! I've long been known as the fall-over expert, especially falling down stairs but I haven't fallen off, over or down anything for a while now... until today...
I've just started upper-body strength training at physio and I'd been looking forward to it as I'm as weak as the proverbial kitten after my accident and lack of activity coupled with Cushing's Disease.
So anyway, today my back neighbour had borrowed my mate's trailer to take some garden waste to the tip and I went along with him for the ride. I'd just chucked a couple of old paint tins in the heap and turned to walk back to the truck when I tripped over the edge of the concrete, coming down heavily on my hands and onto my right side. I felt and heard my rib go 'pop'...
Result, bruised heels of my hands, grazed right knee and a damned sore rib or two! So it's off to the Doc in the morning to check the ribs out as I hope they're just bruised and not cracked. My back seems okay though...
You can imagine the reception I got when I got home and sheepishly told Mrs. Bear...![]()
