I have been stuck in bed for days. Slipped on a couple of leaflets that had been left on the bottom of the stairs and badly bruised all the muscle in the kidney area and down the left hand side my back. I have been in absolute agony and still in a lot of pain when moving about. But have managed to sit at PC this morning. Just hope I can make it back to the sofa. Going to try and catch up with the GB relay and answer all you messages and emails today. Jenny.

Thanks magi and Linda. I am still finding it very difficult to walk. But have managed to make myself a cuppa this morning, well two actually. I cannot believe such a gentle fall down the last two steps of the stairs could cause so much damage. My foot just slipped on the leaflet and I landed hard on my back. I am still finding it very hard to lift my right leg, although it is the muscle on my left side that I have bruised. I cannot sit for long, or turn my body, and have a lovely bruise down my right arm. Jenny.

Ann, I am on Codeine Phosphate, and hubby has been spraying Ralgex on my back. Hoping to come off the Codeine today. Jenny.

Wish I could send you some Tantum Gel, wonderful stuff. Will ask Donna if you can get it in the UK... It's usually the 'little' falls that work out the most painful, you be careful, don't try to do too much, Bilal says you need a massage. (not sure if he's offering ????) magi

Morning Jenny, sorry to hear this, those leaflets are slippy, daughter came a cropper the other week, where I had been looking at the Sunday magazines, hope you soon feel better, am sure G.B. and all her 'mini' bears are sending you a great big hug! :)) take good care there.

I have now decided to camp out in my little conservatory/office. It is only a small conservatory, and I have my desk and a Futon in here. I have a proper PC chair that I can adjust the height and back, and wheel myself to and from the desk. Might even sleep down here tonight. Jenny.
