Had a bad fall in the (walk-in) shower ?

^I’m sorry Phoenix I didn’t realise FH had told you and others to ‘fuck off’ - now I understand your hostility^.
Maybe it may be better if you just avoided FH posts in the future.

Just to clarify - who was at fault in the FO scenario?
Why should Phoenix be penalised?
It’s like telling children who are victimised at school to keep out of the bullies’ way instead of addressing the behaviour issue at question

I’m sorry I don’t know.

I missed the four letter words, were they on a thread or by PM?

I have no idea. Phoenix just said FH told her to F off. I don’t know the details.

It should be called a "walk in, hobble out" shower.

FH I slipped on some mud and smashed my head on a rock! Horrible!

Ohhh that sounds horrible!! I'm sorry that happened to you. X

Make sure you have a really good nonslip mat. I’m very wary of hotel bathrooms for this reason as they rarely have them. I am so careful in the shower now because I know if I fell awkwardly I’d be stuck (manky left hip and right shoulder). I very much hope you feel a great deal better tomorrow. ?

Spot on, Grandmabatty. It's also extremely dull and takes up pages and pages of repeated messages. The OP's mood can veer dramatically between self pity and temper but the endings are always predictable : because despite almost life-threatening acrobatics and death defying "falls", a full recovery from all the 'incidents' is miraculously achieved by provision of a takeaway or hot chocolate. Some people might think "attention-seeking behaviour" - the sort displayed by a bored child - getting his or her kicks from writing nonsense and starting up threads which always end the same way. You need to be a bit more imaginative, FH., and less confrontational. However difficult life might be, there must be a lot more that you can talk about if you really want some level of interest/acceptance on a forum where most of the members must be as old as your own parents. Crying wolf just doesn't cut it after a while, nor does showing disrespect - especially towards some extremely kind and supportive and long-standing members of this Forum. I would always expect to be called out for a bad attitude/bad language/misuse of a thread - so why should you think yourself an exception.

To whom it may concern

FH threw a hissy fit and told myself and some other members to "fuck off". I can't comment as to the others were, as the post was deleted by GNHQ before I saw it.

TBH, I'm surprised that FH has been allowed back.

Now, time for this:

I'm a recent poster on GN but the OP in that time has had a great number of dramatic falls, resulting in bleeding etc. There are a couple of possibilities ; she has health issues which should mean closer supervision by her carers and doctors or she is making it up. There are a number of genuinely kind people commenting here and offering advice. I would hate to think they were being taken in. If all these 'accidents' are true, then the OP needs to address her serious health issues before posting on GN.

I slipped in the shower FGS... why does that equal serious heath issues? X

How do you know if you didn't see it? I told you to F Off after weeks of you being unkind to me. X

That about sums it up Grandmafrench

Ohhh do stop being silly. Everything I post is 175% true. If you don't like my threads, don't read them. X

I was on that thread.
However, once we start discussing it, it becomes a thread about a thread and you know what that means.

As phoenix says time to draw a _____________

The other thread did make quite uncomfortable reading.
Now let's hope this one gets deleted.

Says it all. “weeks of being unkind” sounds like an exaggeration and as you say FH if you don’t like what someone posts, don’t read them.
I am also surprised GNHQ let anyone back after this sort of behaviour.
“Personal attacks” bring strictly against netiquette.

You have yourself told us you live with your parents because you fall over a lot.
That equates to health issues in my book.
Many of us here are possibly 30 years older than you and have not catalogued such a chapter of accidents - even with hip and knee replacements or arthritis

After I broke my leg in 2011 I kept on falling even when it was better. I was referred to the falls clinic at the hospital and my balance was assessed and they decided it was a weakness in my leg and environmental factors. After a while everything was fine. If you keep falling maybe there's a reason for it. Your GP could refer you to get you assessed. Worth thinking about.

grannyrebel7 I think a visit to the GP would be an excellent idea. Perhaps FH could get a referral to a specialist.

Good post, Grandmafrench - an excellent summary

Yes think that's what she needs.

What I don't understand is why there was a wet wipe in the shower. ?

Possibly prolific posting was not such a good idea FH

I think posting as much as you like is an excellent idea, and I propose you keep it up!

Wet wipe in the shower has to be a trip hazard surely?

Oh dear me, hope you are feeling better soon. Don't use wet wipes again, they are bad for you and the environment and we are now being asked to refrain from using as they contain plastic and don't break down. Get well soon.
