I managed to trip over yesterday in the garden... distracted by a noise as I finished clearing some of the borage plant (STILL flowering and with bumble bees on it) that has sprawled everywhere including over the soon to be garlic patch.
One scraped forearm (aloe Vera gel applied)
One slightly sprained ankle, saved by wearing ankle boots (arnica cream applied)
Dark chocolate applied internally for shock!
At least the future garlic patch still has lightweight ground cover over it!
I am so careful now....but everyone makes mistakes...
And with today's weather...
I'm not going anywhere!!
Printer cartridges replaced.....back to some genealogy....
Oh dear, these things happen so quickly. Treatment sounds good especially the last part. Take care (but I know you do).
ReplyDeleteThat is the annoying thing Susan...if I was slapdash...but I'm not
DeleteHave an extra piece of dark chocolate -- it's such good medicine!
ReplyDeleteThe supply is running low....
DeleteOuch. Thankfully no serious breaks!!
ReplyDeleteWild weather! I love that you use medicinal chocolate :)
ReplyDeleteIt is what my daughter calls "brown medicine"...also good for tickly coughs and de-stressing
Delete...accidents can easily happen, take care.
ReplyDeleteI do my best, Tom. They can too easily happen..and I've had 48 years of not being on my own.....only me to pick me up and dust me down now..so even more care needed
DeleteThanks for reminding me, I need to order a new printer ink cartridge! Glad you weren't hurt any worse from your tumble.
ReplyDeleteLike my daughter said...a bit of a warning to be even more aware. I think I will order another full set of cartridges to have in reserve..they email out special offers quite often..and their prices are reasonable
DeleteOh boy, I do hope your ankle isn't too bad. That weather looks wild indeed!
ReplyDeleteThankfully it wasn’t anything worse. A few days rest will hopefully make it all better.
ReplyDeleteOne doesn't need a blunder or two when you're busy.
ReplyDeleteYou are right Red . I am annoyed at myself more than anything!
DeleteDark chocolate will heal anything. Well, almost anything. Please be careful. And, perhaps, stay inside and eat more dark chocolate.
ReplyDeleteDark chocolate was a good call, gz.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I need to get! Borage plants.
ReplyDeleteJust get the seed..or just one plant..you won't need to buy seed again!!
DeleteThere's nothing like pain. Been there got the T shirt.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, that must have been a shock to your system, hope you heal well. My husband (with Parkinson’s) fell over yesterday and bashed his face but at least he has me to patch him up. Thanks for the aloe reminder. I have an aloe plant in bathroom so when I remove his dressing I will apply some of the magic gel. Dark chocolate covered Brazil nuts are a medicine here and I prescribe a take it easy day. Sarah x
ReplyDeleteThese fluke accidents are annoying. Ankle twists are painful and take time to heal. Thank goodness for no broken bones.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that weather looks no fun. Sorry you hurt yourself! I hope you heal quickly!
