I told you I was accident prone! (New episode!!)

[AJB Temple]

Like Roger we have a Japanese moon bridge over some water. The difference being ours is in a Japanese garden. :shock: :? :twisted: :eusa-dance: :eusa-clap: :eusa-naughty: It's oak and I made it.

Aware that we have a garden opening next week, and it might be wet, and that oak bridges can be slippery when wet, I decided to measure up for some treads. So I toddle along with fish food and tape measure (I multi task in a manly way).

It turns out that when I really hurt myself I shout "Aaargh". Then repeat it. No swear words or asking for mummy like you see in films.

The bridge looked dry. Mrs AJB T heard the shout, but did not rush over. She wandered by a bit later on, pushing one of her wheelbarrow collection nonchalantly.



This is known as a piz bracelet. It's what you apply to your sprained wrist after you have shoved your dislocated shoulder back in against a tree. Last time I did this (ignoring the flung through the cab of a digger incident) was falling off an 18 hands horse. Hurt just as much. :lol:

I see you’ve got a glass of pain killer close at hand.

Get well soon.

 

[Lurker]

They don’t look like Waitrose peas to me.

Being a real wimp, I am mightily impressed that you put your shoulder back like that.

 

[Phil]

Ouch!

Hope it heels soon.
Presume there is another bottle of pain killer on ice?

Is that comment really necessary ?

No Rog, but I like pulling your leg. You do it to me too you know :lol:

That "pain killer" that you lot have referred to, is just apple juice. :eusa-liar: Or possibly a glass of wine. Who knows. My vision was a bit blurred at the time. Pain killers work well with either. If you have enough.

Piz are Aldi. I've gone off Waitrose somewhat.

Re putting shoulder back...it's easy once you know how. It hurts quite a lot, but only briefly and works best if you do it absolutely pronto so that muscle spasm has not kicked in much. The tree is just to stop you falling backwards when you lock your arms around your knee and lean back. It actually hurts far more to hang about for ambulance, endure the pot holed roads, then loiter in A&E, then wait for a doctor who knows how to do it without another tedious wait for the jab man, and it still hurts lie bwuggery anyway when they put it back. So, the second time (horse incident), where I fell off some way from home, I just used the tree method. It's totally fine as long as there is no pretty girl there to watch you cry :lol:

Am a bit grumpy today though. Can't lift my arm over my head yet.

......

Mmmmm... :eusa-think: Most people will put a smiley at the end of a leg pull to ensure no misunderstanding

 

[Mike G]

Bloody hell Adrian. You've not had the best of luck this year, have you. Hope you sleep OK, and recover quickly.

 

[AJB Temple]

I've given you a selection of smiley things now Roger. I'm not most people sadly. My wife says I have no feelings.

Thanks Mike. Totally fine, just sore. Will be beam lifting ready soon

Adrian:

I'm glad nothing is broken. I don't think I'd have the knowledge to shove a dislocated shoulder back into place.

I'm glad you've got a good use for frozen peas.

Kirk

 

[AJB Temple]

Thanks Kirk

Oddly enough I have tingling in my right hand currently, so I expect I have tweaked a nerve. Hopefully it will subside. Frozen peas are a staple. They go with shepherds pie and variants, with fish and even in a beanio salad.

As luck would have it, it was entirely dry for the garden opening. Even sunny for half of the time. We closed at 4pm and the heavens opened at 4.30. They remain open.
