Aches &'Pains


I took a tumble today.
Dorothy ran in to me on the beach and next thing I remembered I was face down on the sand smelling of shite.
The dog poo bag in my pocket had burst in the fall and I was winded
Bless she did look concerned

That was six hours ago and I'm home and now aching like a tart at the end of her shift
I can hardly get out of the armchair which is next to the fire.
I've read all afternoon though
A real rare luxury for me.

  1. Nothing beats an afternoon reading, inside on a cold day, log fire foes add to the bliss.

  3. Even if you burst the poo bag aren't you lucky you fell into the sand. So much better than concrete. Hope you fell better soon!

  8. Oh no! And what are the odds the poo bag would burst, as if a fall isn't bad enough?!

  9. I honestly try hard not to laugh at you John, I really do... but popping the poop bag was... well you're just asking to be giggled at. Hopefully only your ego was bruised.

    1. I think I may have. Cracked a rib

    2. Painful for a while. I cracked a lower rib some years ago. You could see it out of alignment under the skin at one side. GP offered no sympathy. All he said was "Your modelling days are over." It set like that.

  12. Falls seem to produce a lot more pain and after-effects as we age. This is the first time I've ever heard of one producing more stink, though :)

    Hope you feel better soon. Will you be giving a little review of the book in the photo?

    1. It's a book given to me by Sitges John....it's an interesting read x

    2. I have recently tried to read the book but failed miserably. I just could not work out the ravens place in it. I know I should have tried to stay to the end. A review would be good

  13. Oh No ! Thank Goodness no broken bones ! Tylenol and a heating pad

  15. Oh, dearie me! So sorry about your injury. May you get over it very quickly, physically as well as the smell. But pleased you didn't lash out at little Dottie for her innocent mistake, which I know she would have sensed for herself, and it will likely shame her for a while.

  17. Dogs are so full of fun and don't think of the consequences do they.My top dog wriggled and struggled as I was trying to stop him escaping and he head butted me and I felt my eye socket swell immediately.If he was on the lead in an area where he would race into danger I would be dragged at speed down banks and once narrowly missing a tree.My lovely lily is a madam too and will race at me very closely at speed for fun- little teddybear,thatch but not new one yet know to either stand still or stick close to me x

  18. "... aching like a tart at the end of her shift". Classy, John. Why do (some) gay guys think they can get away with shit jokes about females?

    1. I quite like being called a tart-when said with fun and fondness and tongue in cheek-it's a term of endearment usually.If someone says it to me,a cousin or someone close-we giggle x

      I had come back to say to Ursula that she's not the boss or monitor of anyone except herself, so go away unless you can quit complaining that John or other folks are offending you. It's your problem, so do get over yourself.

    8. None of the women here are taking offence. John this is almost stalker behaviour I don't understand why she keeps coming on here?

    9. She's a self processed surveyor of my behaviour and writing
      Feeling entitled to let me know where I constantly go wrong

    So sorry you fell over, the the poo bag burst and now you're all stove up. It's good to pamper your deserving self and enjoy a book.

    Years ago when I was being chased through the house by Daisy, our beloved Basset Hound, she tripped me. When I fell, I broke my left small metacarpal (bone along the outside of your hand, opposite your thumb). I didn't know whether I was going to cry, throw up, or faint, but Daisy was so very concerned about me since I was on the floor where I usually wasn't.

    Hugs!

  20. You have my sympathies. I had my feet knocked from under me on Sunday when one of the beefier of our cats was having a mad five minutes. Just a sprained wrist, but gosh, how difficult that makes normal life. Like you, I have done a lot of reading.

    I hope you stop creaking soon.

    Good Grief, you keep the filled bags in your pocket?!!! Bulldogs must have small turds because no way I'm getting a bag filled by my Golden Retriever in my pocket. Nope, it's in my hand, and when a neighbor I don't like drives by, I wave with the full bag! I wave to people I like with the empty hand. A little under the radar statement! LOL

  24. I know that smell/feeling! have just started walking rescue dogs the last month or so and one particularly liked rolling in the stuff and then jumping all over me, this is all new to me but presumably part of the volunteer experience and who am I to spoil their fun.

  25. Hooray for an afternoon reading.
    I hope the bruises, the pain and the stiffness are short lived.

    Hoping and praying you're wrong and nothing's broken!!! That's such an unfortunate accident, and as someone said, it was fortunate you didn't fall on cement. May you heal quickly. Peace be with you, John.

  30. Sorry for your fall. Maybe you need to get an x-ray? Broken ribs can lead to other problems at times. Feel better.

  32. Ouch, ouch, ouch, do we need to send in help? Falls really can hurt. I had several bad falls in 2014- the first half of 2015. At least once I thought, this is where they will find me decomposing into the carpet.
