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

Changed my mind about the garden... I'm having a takeaway as I feel like having some nice food after such a bad fall. X

Oh no, this sounds awful for you. If you're certain nothing is broken I'd suggest rest, painkillers & lots of tlc from your family. I admire your bravery but it might take a few days for the bruising to show & shock can leave you feeling a bit fragile in the aftermath. Hope you'll feel ok again soon.

Takeaway! Sounds like a good plan!

Awwwwww thanks for your lovely message, you've cheered me up. I am going to visit a very very very dear relative tomorrow so she'll make me feel better, like she always does. X

Why don't you have one too? X

Oh no you poor thing! Yes, as a previous poster has said just rest. I had a bad fall a few days ago and the bruises took a few days to come out - felt sore for ages so do be careful. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for your lovely message. Awwww I'm sorry you fell too. What happened? I'm glad you feel better. X

Another accident FH. Oh dear! ?

I would give tomorrow’s visit a miss, and rest up.

Thanks for your lovely message. I would rather go ahead with the visit as I have been looking forward to it, and I can rest while there, as we'll just be watching the television, chatting and drinking tea. X

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

Why does your walk in shower have a curtain? Most have sliding doors?

25 minutes must have been an extraordinarily long time to be stranded.

You forbade your mother from getting an ambulance because you were naked, I'm sure you could have got a robe round you while waiting.

Although, tbh, I doubt if an ambulance would have come out for that sort of incident.

You re back on form Flyinghandbags got to be the most spectacular fall so far
I think you need a word with your Mum she’s always in the garden when you go flying
I guess you must be ok as you could have put a housecoat on to go to hospital
How will you manage to travel to your friends house ?

Flying do you know what causes your frequent falls? Do you get dizzy spells? Because that's what happens to my cousin and she often has falls even at home without tripping or anything. Of course she's in her 70's so probably nearer to your mum's age. Have you mentioned it to your doctor? To an outsider like myself it does seem too often to be coincidental.

Why do you need make up on to go in the garden? Sunscreen should be enough.

My son is a paramedic. They've seen it all. Unofficially they would class this sort of call as a "Gransdown."

It takes a lot to put a girl off doing her make up - even after a fall in the shower! However, I am sure a strategically placed bath towel would have preserved your modesty.
For future reference, how about grab rails in the shower?
Oh and never ever use wipes - wrong on so many levels, especially the shower cubicle for.

Floor not “for”

Here is what to do:
- get a good shower mat and never never go into the shower unless it is firmly n place.
- get a grabrail fixed to the shower wall.
- get a soap-on-a-rope, or (as I did, crochet a soap bag - wide open weave with very long string hung round the shower pole. Then lather the soap through the bag, so it cannot fall on the floor and make it slippery.

Honestly, as I know only too well, a fall and a breakage can transform your life permanently for the worse. Not really worth the risk. Be a good Guide and Be Prepared!

Try and keep up. There was a door. FlyingHandbag ricocheted onto the shower door
That's some huge shower to be able to ricocheted across the floor.
I'm impressed by the recall of every minuscule detail while in so much pain.

What is it about FH Phoenix? Why on earth do you have to be so unkind? It really is becoming a habit with you and the OP. Just plain nasty. And who are you to tell OP not to wear make up in the garden? You really are unpleasant.

A shower door, but also a shower curtain to protect her modesty from her father.

Forward planning I guess, memo to self- in new bathroom We need a shower door and a Shower curtain.

But it is a walk in shower - which I understand as something different to a shower cubicle
There was a shower curtain - not sure why
The shower door opened outwards even although it is meant to open inwards.
Wasn’t it the conditioner which ricocheted off the wall and hit the shower door so hard etc etc
Trying hard to keep up. ?

MawB
That's some hefty bottle of conditioner to reverse the opening of a door.
Obviously one of those gallon size ones the hairdressers use.

You wouldn’t to want to argue with one of those!
