Sympathy needed please.

[Philip]

Comming down stairs Thurs lunchtime, with a 45 kilo box of Fuel Cats to send to France(i do sell some sometimes!) whe i get to bottom stair and put my foot on our varnished wood floor in hallway. Might have helped if wife had told me she had just mopped it.Right foot shoots out, 45 Kilo box lands on leg, breaks it in two places, so now in plaster for how long i don't know.
So no driving for weeks and as an example, just dropped pen on floor, but its too much hassle to pick up. Talk about being helpless.
On top of that its my 60th birthday on the 22nd, so it looks like i'll be hobbling into old age.
I have been very lucky really as so far, believe it or not i have had no pain, even with two breaks, one at the top and tother at the bottom of big bone from knee to ankle.
Anyway, everybody welcome for a coffee etc, if your around Acton, West London. I will definately be indoors.

[Philip]

I,m sitting at my desk now and hopefully will be able to continue, with wifes help. Will have to move everything around, as for instance, all my files are on shelf just above me, but can't reach the bl**dy things. I am sitting here now cotemplating the journey to the loo, as was in hospital last time i went, so wish me luck.I also thought that when i saw people hopping about with crutches, it was quite easy, believe me, its quite tiring, especially as walking the dog is about the most exercise i did.

I feel for you Philip, I was in full length plaster for six months after a motorcycle accident some years ago, and it changes your whole way of life.

Hope you get well soon, and in the mean tme I hope the adjustment to the situation goes well.

And i just bought a Jaos front protector, which i suppose will stay on the living room floor for a while, maybe i should have been using it. At least Tony won't have to put up with me for a while.
Was quite serious, if anyone around my area, drop in for a coffee. Always happy to meet fellow Surfers. Might even try to sell you a Fuel Cat cheap!!!
Thanks everyone for messages.
Regards Philip
