Had a fall...can I still work?
« on: January 09, 2010, 07:10:53 pm »
Yes I had a fall yesterday, but not at work!

Walking home from the pub last night (not drunk) I had a bit of an argument with an icy pavement.
Bashed my head and went a bit funny, strained my wrist, bit of whiplash and worst of all according to the hospital I've cracked a rib.

Pretty painful to move today and even breathing hurts if it's too deep.

What i was going to ask is whether it's going to affect working with the pole.
Anyone else worked with such an injury?

Tell you what...I'm in serious financial trouble, still bloody single, my ex stopped me having my daughter this week, and now I stack it and break my ribs.

Never rains but it pours does it?   :-[ ;D

Sorry to hear that mate.I know from experience how painful a broken rib can be.You'll be out of action for a good while if I'm any judge.Good time to put your feet up though,with the weather being shocking anyway.

Hi Squeeks
Sorry about your fall, but daft question asking if you can work your fan club on here will have a field day with you.
The only way you will know if you can work is to give it a go, maybe do your own tomorrow and see how you feel. Did the hospital not advise you on when you can do a bit?
Still it's done now , hope you recover quickly

Any chance you could employ someone? Give you the chance to manage and maybe build up the business by you doing the marketing.

bloody nightmare! get well soon mate! the only thing i can think will help is strong painkillers, and some kind of lumber support, but dont push it you might make it worse,

im always scared of doing an injury, ive got a sports bike and i like downhill mountain biking, maybe i should get some personal injury insurance but cant afford it at mo  :(

When I busted my collar-bone playing rugby, the most difficult thing was getting into bed.

sorry to hear about your news rog

next week looks like its going to be 0 or 1 C, so this ice is going to stay around, so the its likely you will be off anyways

you have a fishing pole dont you ?  ? ? i guess you use a lightweight brush, well thats as good as you will get, give it a whirl, work a few hours ( at least you will earn a few quid )

but as i said, next week looks likely to be a write-off anyways

Smart arse! I had a few quid to take my daughter out today, but not needed now!

Anyway, i only had 3 pints and two of them were bought me, so I spent a grand total of £2.50. ;D

sorry to hear of your injury.

if you cant work out some reasonable access rights
personally with your ex give your local magistrates
a call they will give you details of how you can personally
take your ex to court without you being ripped off
for thousands by a solicitor.believe me its very simple
and only cost me £60 to sort it out.
