I had a fall in September this year and still having repercussions: Head aches. dizziness, battling to look up at the high window with out any neck pain. Memory lapses some time I sit out side customer`s house and for the life of me cannot remember their name or price and have down there window for 4 years.Off to the doctor today to look what can be done.
So to all the guys working for a small fee think what are you doing for what you are charging and be careful these things happen very quick and no warning.
Wish me luck as I am worried about working with these injures.

Sorry to hear that, good luck!

#edited: possiblity not from ladders, I guessed it was, which is my mistake for reading it quickly, quickly picked up by my new shadow ;D

Kind regards,
Duncan

I don't think it was a ladder fall. Seem to remember he tripped over something in a really messy back garden and fell, knocking himself out on a slab. Customer was aware and just left him there.

Good Luck. I feel for anyone who gets injured in this line of work. Hopefully there will be a period of recovery and you'll be back to normal.
When I was in the printing industry I whacked my head on the bottom of a conveyor belt whilst scrambling under it. I got concussion. The symptom was that at any inexplicable moment I could be walking along and it would feel like someone had hit me over the head with a brick (a repeat sensation of the original impact). It would only last a few seconds but it would be enough to make me stumble and go blind for a few seconds, but it would feel like a real impact even though it never happened. Over the course of just about over a year in incidents got less and less till they didn't occur again. So take heart the brain can heal.

What did the doc say, Slumpy?

Jeez, how could someone do that. Some people have no humanity to leave someone lying there.
-
I seem to recall they cancelled him as well asked him not to come back ??? ???

I am just back from the Doctor. I will be going for a MRI scan in January 2013 but for the moment I just have to live with the effects of concussion and whiplash. He said I will have good days and bad days and new medication to help me.
So back to the glass for me things like this do take the wind out of your sails and has slowed me down. At least I did not come off like that poor fella in Brighton. I have worked hard for 4 years to save enough cash to buy my van and all the kit and have every thing I wanted. Just spend £ 8000. in September and would not want to give it all up. Thanks for the good wish from all.

So how did you do it Slumpy?
You aren't Clive who used to be Slumpbuster are you? You seem different to him.

My customer dumped a lot of things bicycles football nets and a gym mat in the passage next to the house. I went to see if I could get through to clean the conny and back windows. I have chatted with her before about all this junk.I did not want to loose he customer so was not difficult about it. Anyway I turned around to go to the front door to ask them to move the junk and slipped on the grey gym mat which was slippery due to the rain which had just started.I hit my head and the slabs and did not know what happened next. Woke up drenched I asked for help, but the daughter slammed the door. Went to A & E and later that day got a call text say I should not go back or clean window due to the daughter been intimidated by me I still don` t understand were this happened.

I hope you're getting the very best medical care to aid you to full recovery quickly mate... and I hope you haven't forgotten to speak with your insurance company about paying for it?
Duncan

best wishes bud ... i hope you have a speedy recovery
-
I hope you recover soon Slumpy, it's not very pleasant worrying about what could be wrong and also, still trying to get your work completed when not feeling 100%. On the customer, maybe they sacked you off coz they were scared of getting sued? Too leave you lying there was pathetic!
-
Where there's blame there's a claim !!!
Sue the ass off the especially after the attitude from them and the dump .
Plenty of no win no fee solicitors about .
-
That's a horror story.
Yep she got rid i reckon in case you try and sue her.
That other customer hitting you in asda could have worsened your head injury as well.
Has he paid what he owes you yet??
I tried to post but gavinb got in there 1st. I wasn't going to suggest but due to the customers mercenary attitude, gavinb has a point.

Wasn't it Cowboy in Asda?

sorry to hear that mate, but good advice to sue them, if you get head injuries they can affect your life in ways you cant imagine, get some cash of them if you can

The Asda thing is not me and I am not slump buster I am the South African, BORN In YORKSHIRE.I was told by a Asian gent when I washed his front door by mistake that I should not be aloud to work in the U K. He phoned the council and reported me as an illegal.He was a x magistrate. Hope this is the last for this year.

And then do it some more.
Best of luck to you :)
