Well it’s been 3 days since I took a tumble off my bed and cracked my head on my table. I also have a very bad fractured foot and i’m bruised pretty much everywhere.

Oh wow! "a slight accident"? Sounds horrendous, especially a fractured foot. I hope it all mends quickly

I’m covered in bruises. Foot legs arms and tummy and of course my face. I did go to A&E and my head was bleeding quite badly xx

It looks like it would have bled, lucky you didn't catch your eye. I bet it hurt too 🤕

Yes it did bleed a lot it was really deep and I’m very thankful it missed my eye although it came very close.

Oh wow 😮 Tori, bless you, I bet you are a bit stiff & sore all over after that, not to mention a sore head too. Hopefully you got help pretty quickly to get you to a&e. How's your a fib doing after that. Is your foot in plaster - I'll sign it if it is 🙂 and no walks & games with Penny for a while 😔 You take extra special care of yourself and rest up so you get better as quick as you can. Sending lots of love and (very gentle) hugs xxxxxxx

Yes I’m stiff almost everywhere and bruised. I had a fair amount of morphine as well so I was struggling to wake up to go home. Xxxxx

Blimey Tori, you weren't in the top bunk were you 🤕🤭 That looks terrible. With all you cope with Im sure this will just be another small setback.

Please take care and look after yourself. HUGS X

I have a profiling bed so it makes it better for me to sleep. I just need to make sure that both of the sides are up lol xxx

That looks painful, Tori.😟 Must have been a big shock, too. I was just thinking of you this morning while checking out HU, and hoping that you were going to have an enjoyable weekend. Obviously not! Glad you went to A&E for them to look you over, always better to be safe than sorry. Now you just need to rest up and recover from that rather nasty experience. Take care and hopefully you will be pottering about again soon. No jumping on and off the bed, mind!!!😉

Dear Tori,

Here I am yet again late to the party but with the same message that I would have carried if I’d had been earlier.

OH my goodness what have you been up to ? It looks so sore, I’m really sorry to hear the news of your fall and can only wish you better as soon as possible,

loads of healing thoughts and love. X

So sorry to see in that plight of yours. Though it was bad enough, it could have been worse. In the first place, why did you have the fall, did you pass out before the accident happened? There is got to be a reason. You went to A&E and did they give you proper checkout including ECG?

I have a profiling bed so I can raise my head and legs. I sleep better if I’m more upright. I was getting up to sort the cat and I was so tired I went to roll to sit up I didn’t realise how close to the edge I was until I cracked my head on the table. I didn't have an ECG. I had a chest and my led X-rayed. I didn’t lose consciousness at any time. I also had full bloods done

Cor! You made a good job while you were at it, then! Recommend a risk-assessment & a rearrangement of furniture..! I expect you will have to put up with much teasing. But I sincerely hope you mend quickly. Best wishes, lovie.
