Thank you for all your replies

Sorry didn’t think to say what the problem was but I will make it short

I was trying to help carer i had managed to wash clothes put them on table in hope the caterer would put up dryer I before had never used one as hubby didn’t like them in house 🏠 anyway she got it out of cupboard put it up and of she went stayed there two days got on my nerves so I decided I would take it down got clothes of ok turned to take dryer down and it fell on arm and leg and that is what happened

Small bruise appeared got bigger and bigger then it burst over patio and up wall

The worst bit for me is I have a kidney transplant of 27 years that then went to sleep but he has woke up had to have blood transfusion things i never had before but not to worry we are on mend

Had cancer thing cut of this morning and that went ok bled out a bit but home and comfy

Sorry I’m going on now

You make sure you are all ok and going steady

I hope it was therapeutic to share this Rusty8. You must have had an awful shock. I hope that it heals neatly and quickly. Your responses show who is or should be medics. Not me I’m afraid. You are very brave.
