Not been a good day today. Had a family funeral yesterday and a good bun fight afterwards (ended up leaving my car behind ::) ::)) Anyway, meant SWMBO had to drop me off this morning to pick up the car.

She got up, disappeared into the kitchen to get herself a glass of water, which she promptly dropped, and then I heard an almighty crash as she slipped up and landed flat on her back!

Spent 4 hours at A&E, with her taped to the bed and immobilised even though we'd walked in (much against my better judgement... I wanted to call an ambulance but she refused >:( >:() and having to have 2 sets of spinal x-rays!

She's OK... Badly bruised, shaken up and spaced out on painkillers but OK.

Trouble is........ She's not well enough to cook dinner so it's take away tonight :y :y

just hope she gets better soon mate

Hoping she gets well quickly.. Bring her some flowers.. Will definitely feel better :y

Did you at least get your car back?  ;D ;D

jk, hope she gets better soon, have they given her anything decent like tremadol?

Glad she's not too bad mate, treat her like a Queen with kid gloves until she's back on her feet & it will pay off in spades! She 'll remember just what a great bloke she married ;D ;D ;) :y

What a bugga, hope she's on her feet soon and feeling better.

Hope she's ok by Sunday for the full roast.   ::) ::)

Love you Emma.XXX!!!! 8-)

Alarming news indeed LD, please convey my best wishes to your wife for a speedy recovery. :y :y

Thankfully no permanent damage was done. Hope she is on her feet again soon :y

Get well soon Emma, or the poor lad will be starving. ;D ;D

With my wife's cooking that would be a treat. Hope she feels better soon.

Thanks for all the good wishes... She's OK... Just bruised, shaken up and sore.

And no... I never did manage to pick the car up ::) ::)

She said she loves you too Guy ::) ::) :D :D

Get well soon, Emma. :'(

Kevin & Emma

best wish`s em, get well soon. :-*

Hope she is OK soon...... :y

Thanks guys... She's got some nice bruises coming out :y :y

I think she'll probably feel worse tomorrow than at the moment but has improved during the day. I still have to help her get up though.

I hope she feels better soon ... get well soon  :y

Theres only one thing for it mate. You will have to learn to cook. nothing wrong with a bloke that can cook.


Hope your wife gets better soon mate, she is lucky in a way that nothing else happened.

Sorry I've come to this thread rather late. My best wishes for Emma. I trust she will be back to sterling health soon (for her sake and, clearly, for yours too!)

;) :y :y

get well soon Emma.  :y

Thinking about it, Mrs. KW had a similar accident when we were on a skiing holiday once. Got out of the hot tub to turn the bubbles on (on a hotel roof @ -20 deg.c) and slipped over on the inevitable ice. Landed flat on her back.

The bruising looked gruesome at first but she made a pretty rapid recovery and was back on her snowboard after a couple of days (shopping!).

She's very stiff this morning but the bruising is coming out nicely, which can only be a good thing :y :y

GD - I am actually quite a good cook but I'm not normally allowed in the kitchen, except to wash up ::) ::) ;) ;)

Me neither. Whilst I am allowed in the kitchen I just find I receive too much advice unless I'm alone. :-X

Spot on.... Perhaps it's something to do with the name??? :-? :-?

If Mrs LD is taped to a plank of wood, I have a sack barrow you can borrow - sure you could prop her up in front of the cooker/sink/kettle?

No - the lovely Mrs LD is organised enough to be able to cope.  Admittedly she may have to rely on the utterly useless Lazydocker to post me this week's supply of the choccie brownies :P

Panic over guys... She's feeling much better. Still stiff but able to move.

Managed to go to Tesco for some shopping and collect my car this evening. She's even cooked dinner (with a little assistance) as my sympathy was wearing a little thin when she insisted she was going back to work tomorrow!

Brownies should be back on the menu for the weekend :y :y

She gets that all the time... I'm such a sweetie it's normal behaviour ::) ::) ;) ;)

I'm still keeping an eye on her Debs, even if I'm making out she's on her own now ;) ;)
