Fell Of A Ladder.

Englishman

It's 9.30 am in sunny WSM, and here I am sat in front of me computer instead of zooming up and down a ladder fitting soffits and guttering.

I'm injured!

Yup, fell of me ladder yesterday, and received a sprained ankle for my troubles. (Actually, it was the bottom rung that I slipped off, so it wasn't that bad.) Fortunately, Number 3 son was with me, and he took control by implementing the RICE technique.

R = Rest, I = Ice, C = Compression, E = Elevation.

So, here is sit (resting), with a Tesco bag full of (ice), wrapped tightly around me ankle (compression) with one leg in the air (elevation).

I just hope it's better by tonight, I just don't fancy standing at the bar on one leg all evening.

Bye.

Englishman.

Been there

Pooooooooooooor Eman. ((((((((hugs))))))))

I feel sorry for you.

I once badly sprained my ankle when I was a window cleaner, it flippin kills! I thought I'd snapped mine in half.

I hope you were not rushing to get the job done so has to get back on line? I did mine rushing to get the days work done and get a good start Pioneering the next day!

I recommend Tincture of Arnica for the bruise and swelling.

Sorry, run that by me again...
Which leg is wrapped in ice, and which leg is elevated?

Sorry to hear about that, Mike. I sprained an ankle about three years ago, and it gave me pain for over a year. It's pretty excruciating, if you do it right.

I know you'll want to get up and at it, as soon as poss, but rest is the best thing.

I'm sorry Englishman, but when I read this, a whopping great grin spread across my features, bottom rung eh?!! Hahahahahahahaha what a baffoon you are to be sure!!

Thinking of you, keep smiling and if you would like me to give you a hand with the upkeep of your business empire, give us shout and I'll toddle my way up there for the princely fee of 18.00 pounds p/hr - bargain or what?!!

Tally ho

Eman - That last step is a doozie eh?

Stay off that ankle until it's healed or it will never let you forget that 'last rung'.

Hello Eman,

Sorry to hear you are injured. Go prop your leg up on a table at the pub and drink until the pain goes away. That will temporarily take care of any anxieties as well. However, arrange in advance for someone to bring you home in a wheel barrel.
