Tock myself to hospital following xrays.Two small breaks in each arm.Because I was out of my catchment area.I need to go to my local fracture clinic. Now I can't make this up.I had attended a Managing Health and safety course.At least I passed that Ian 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZimbiIV Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Sorry to hear that Ian, but I did tell you that you were too old for that STUNT chef course. A relaxing visit to the boat may help recovery? paul & jill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranworthbreeze Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Hi Ian, Are they having a laugh or what. I suggest that you go to your doctors and camp out until they see you and give you a referral to a hospital to sort out these breaks in your arms, you need pots on or some other support on them now, not in 10 days time.

Chelsea14Ian Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 Went to my local hospital this morning. The pain killers don't seem to be working. So have been given more pain killers. Will soon rattle,and a better sling (in fact two).Seems like a carry on movie. Plus he is trying to get me an earlier appointment for the fracture clinic.

Chelsea14Ian Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Heres a pic of me with two slings. The Doctor suggested I swap from one to the other. The pain killers are starting to work.Next up unrelated flu jab Wednesday. Slings are the right colour Ian 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addicted Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Sorry to hear about your mishap. You do look cheesed off in your photo and with very good reason. To have to wait that long for an appointment at the fracture clinic is a disgrace Let's hope you can get it sorted in time to get some boating in before the season grinds to a halt Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 I got Marina to take the photo I posted on Facebook poking my tongue out, aimed at our niece Barbara. Who thought it was funny to take the mick.I will get my own back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
