Talking about falls. My dear old mum once fell over outside the baker’s shop. A man passing by stopped and said “Are you all right, are you hurt? to which she replied, “No, I’m fine thank you, I’m not hurt”. He said, “ No, no one ever is!”
Funny, isn’t it, how we all jump up, unless really hurt, and proclaim we are absolutely fine, even if our hands and knees are grazed and bleeding, and we feel all shaken up.....

Hope you mend soon, gonegirl flowers

oh my, poor you- oh and poor son...

I had a similar slip, cracked a couple of ribs.
Next time I went out I bought a longer bath mat.
Hope you are feeling less fragile soon.?

Sorry to hear that Gonegirl so easily done you may have a purple boob in a day or two My dearest friend turned as she came out the supermarket and fell with her face going on the iron handrail she has broken about 8 bones in her face including jaw, eye socket, cheekbone and teeth (but not her nose) She’s about 8weeks in and has healed beautifully without any surgery (her choice) just got to get her teeth sorted by a specialist now She’s 9 years older than me so done so well
I ve had a few falls they happen before you know it and usually I m up before I m down sort of thing but they do shake you up and it’s not nice if there’s something solid in the way

Maybe get yourself a check up? Sounds nasty.

rockgran Sat 16-Nov-19 14:25:41

Oh, dear I feel your pain! I fell back into the bath in a hotel room recently as I had forgotten to leave the soap within reach. I bruised my arm and hip but yours sounds much more painful. ( I also sloshed the water all over my awaiting clean underwear!)

Oooooh, falls are terrifying and shake you up more than the hurt they do.
I think I'm glad I no longer have a bath, just a shower, but I make sure I hang on for grim death and also stand on a towel. I'd be petrified of breaking something.

Hope you don't suffer many after-aches Gonegirl. Take it easy.

Oh dear, poor you
and poor son blush

Take it easy and enjoy some pampering. flowers

At least you were getting out of the bath and not into it, so you smell nice smile

(I was going to have a bath this afternoon, the first one for months but this has put me off.)

Oh you poor thing ?. It's so easily done isn't it? But so hard to get over, sadly. I hope you feel better soon, and the bruising isn't too bad flowers

You poor thing Gonegirl, thank goodness you son was in to get you to your feet.

More than likely you'll feel even more tender in the morning, which is usually the case after a bad fall and a night in bed. You need to take it easy for the rest of the day and tomorrow too.

Hope you'll soon feel betterflowers.

merlotgran Sat 16-Nov-19 13:32:37

Thank goodness you weren't alone in the house. I no longer risk trying to get out of the bath as my knees are too dodgy.

Hope the soreness doesn't last too long. Take care xx

Oopsminty Sat 16-Nov-19 13:25:49

Poor you

Poor son

I hope you're both feeling better

Nothing worse than landing on your boobie. I did it once in the woods.

Went down as if I'd been felled by a sniper

SueDonim Sat 16-Nov-19 13:20:58

shock What a fright you must have had. sad I know this is a bit grandma and eggs, but do you have one of those non-slip bath mats?

I hope the bruising isn't too painful. Quiet day in for you? flowers

Calendargirl Sat 16-Nov-19 11:23:23

Oh, how awful! Falls happen in a second, but the ‘fallout’ sadly lasts much longer.
Hope you feel better soon.

Ow ow ow! flowers Hope you feel better soon.

Gonegirl Sat 16-Nov-19 11:17:31

Was just getting out of the bath, reached over to grab my towel of the rail. and both feet slipped out from under me. I went down flat on my front, full length, boob crushed on the flat corner bit of the bath, and hip crushed against somewhere else.

Not got a rapidly expanding bruise on said boob, and a bleeding cut on hip. Otherwise unharmed apart from shakiness.

Son was in house so had to come and drag me upright in all my nekked glory. shock

Poor son.
