.....again!
Two steps down at the end of the hall, and just lifting down the vacuum.
Somehow slipped on the oak floor, and couldn't recover, so fell backwards and cracked my head on the wall, and my elbow on the floor.
Didn't realise, till I got back on my feet, that I have a serious muscle pull, in my side, and in absolute crying out agony!
Have tried to stretch it out but if it's a tear that isn't going to work.
I was really looking forward to getting out on the bike but it looks like that isn't on the agenda now!

Try to be a little more careful,Aunty.I think you're a great chitchatter and i think that many other Chitchatters here would think the same.

For gods sake, lifting a vacuum, what a STUPID thing to do.
You do know why god invented women? |

See the quack for the muscle strain but 400mg Ibuprofen did the trick for mine. Stronger painkillers are allegedly available on prescription.

By:
I think you need a full time carer, Aunty.
Hope you are ok  |
|
By:
Thanks MD, I think you may be correct, as it's only two weeks since I tried a similar thing in the garage!
Only doing it as I am houseproud and Mrs W is away for the weekend. Think I've overdosed on the Ibuprofen, so just have to lay off for the time being! |

Thanks for your concern Joel but the vacuum is fine.

Would just like to echo some of the sentiments from some of the other chit chatters, glad you weren't seriously hurt, AP.
 Muscles can heal, a broken skull, no so easily. Was there any damage done to said wall?Also, the power of the broom is highly underestimated, admittingly, it's can't perform the suction jobs of a good vacuum but it is less dangerous. A quick and swift stroke of the broom over wooden flooring can be very effective in the removal of dust and debris. On carpets & rugs, this is unfortunately not the case. if you still intend on riding that bike down the pub ( ) I would suggest using an appropriate helmet. |

I nearly castrated myself with a vacumn. The Dyson Ball Cleaner is a very misleading name.....

Should be very careful with this type of crack on the back of the head Specially after hitting a hard oak floor ,can lead to what they call silent bleeds ,one moment you feel fine the next KAPUT !!!

AP must have the rolls royce of vaccum cleaners imo ,hope he does not have one of those cheap looking dirt devils . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-NCe-LxrmY Chromed body ,finished in red trim ,sporting single headlamp ....impressive looks backed up by a high performance motor ,picks up strongly from a standing start and handles tight corners with ease ....someone must have one in their attic ,lying around gathering dust ,they could pass on to AP ,make an old man very happy imo |

I thought I was in for a long haul, and don't want to speak too soon, but it is easing off a tad.
Fecking murder getting in and out of the car, and as for the speed bumps, purgatory, even at a gnat's speed! I have two vacuums....one's a Panasonic with DAB radio and a 3 disc CD player. The one this morning was a cheap Vax, which is lightweight and a good sucker, and Mrs W's choice as she is no spring chicken but refuses to give in. |

You may regret that last sentence, Aunty

Better luck next time, Aunty.

You missed a great day out on the bike.

People who say "please thank you"

It should be 'thank you please' in that order!

Well done Makybe_Diva... good to see that someone is paying attention! Mrs W is indeed my housekeeper. |
