    Spot of bother

    I’m immobile, waiting for an ambulance. I slipped and fell, and my left leg won’t obey commands.

    Ironically, I was leaving my aunt’s house, who is in hospital after a fall. I’m wedged sideways into the back of my car, and it’s cold. My wife is here.

    So, if I’m missing for a bit, don’t worry. It’s just an old bloke falling over. I don’t think the damage is major. I’m mostly posting as a distraction, and I’m bored as much as anything.

    I'll think happy thoughts for you.
    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    The lengths people go to to have an excuse to post on IWL...

    (Sorry to hear and I keep my fingers crossed it's indeed nothing too serious!)
