. Some TLC is definitely in order I think.

Yes, let your OH cook tonights meal and you have a rest x

I caught my foot in a hidden bramble and just went down.

I hope you’re not feeling too sore, Alison. These things happen so quickly. Mine didn’t have a walk yesterday - not because I mind the rain, but because I’m now wary of slipping over, as although my shoulder is better it’s not back to normal. Wispa happily went out in the garden, but Tuppy took one look at the pouring rain and declined!

We were due to meet my son and grandson for a walk this afternoon, but it’s now raining (again!) and so will probably soon be dark too, so it’s just as well I took them out earlier!

Well I know he would but fortunately I made a huge fish pie this morning that will last 2 days so neither of us need to worry

not because I mind the rain, but because I’m now wary of slipping over,

I think you are wise

Hoping you are not too sore @Atemas , I worry terribly about falls when the ground is not firm , take care all , the dogs will survive without a walk or just a short one x

It’s been lovely here this week. We’ve had some sun which has really boosted the spirits as it’s been very gloomy. It feels like spring with temps above zero. Should be around 7C the next couple days!

 

[Jacqui-S]

Oh dear Alison @Atemas that foes sound like a nasty fall .
Hope you feel better soon xx

 

[Candy]

Hope you're not suffering too much Alison

 

[Atemas]

Hope you're not suffering too much Alison

My wrist is terribly painful

 

[Selina27]

My wrist is terribly painful

Did you fall onto your outstretched hand?

 

[Atemas]

Yes

 

[Selina27]

Hmmm... you should probs go to A & E in the morning.

 

[Atemas]

Yes I think so

 

[Jacqui-S]

Yes I think so

Definitely!
Does it look normal shape?

 

[Atemas]

Does it look normal shape?

It is swollen around the knuckle. It hurt at the time but it was ok and I could still do things. Pain suddenly got worse late afternoon. Paracetamol has taken the edge off but hand is feeling quite numb yet painful if that makes sense. I can’t use it at all at the moment

 

[Atemas]

Sorry @Jacqui-S, I don’t mean knuckle (not thinking straight) - I mean the knobbly wrist bone - don’t know what it’s called

 

[Jacqui-S]

If it is sore here, it could be a scaphoid fracture Alison

 

[Atemas]

It’s the other side

 

[Jacqui-S]

It’s the other side

Ah okay, would still get it checked out tomorrow if not easing.

 

[Atemas]

Thank you for your help @Jacqui-S (and @Selina27) - I do appreciate it. If it’s still painful in the morning, I will ring 111

@Atemas, I too seem to be falling flat on my face quite a few times lately, trip over brambles or slip down steep muddy slopes into a couple of streams. Years ago I fell in the snow and broke my wrist, so hope you haven't broken yours. Don't ignore it.
