Any fellow victims and sufferers of "bodily damage due to ice". What to do ?

Hi Folks,

I had the misfortune, due to my own stupidity, of going flying off my pushbike with a basket full of shopping, on an icy rural road on Christmas Eve.

Both major leg bones broken, plate & pins fitted New Years Eve, but now back home with a bottle of cherry brandy and Christmas cake.

What I wonder, although having been in the big pain & discomfort zone, others in the 4 bod ward were in a worse situation, and how do they mentally cope with it ?

Three blokes over 80, with busted hips / legs, all due to a fall on the ice, and by the sounds of it, not looking forwards to being home alone, despite fine NHS after-care.

So I count myself both unlucky in the 1st place, but lucky in the family support.

Any similar episodes this season ?

Bob

    Sorry you had such a hard time, I have been a real coward not venturing out much in the ice and snow. Having had a broken elbow when playing on the children's micro scooters and seeing how others with broken hips etc have suddenly had their life changed in a big way. get well soon x
