Oh dear

I was working on a kitchen yesterday, all going well until, my fault, I've managed to either bruise or crack one of my left ribs, it bloomin hurts but I will get my toms sown!

 

Mrs scrungee put an engineering brick, not a small modern one, but a damn great old Victorian one weighing 8.5 lbs on top of the dustbin containing the hen's food (to keep rats out), supposed to be always on the back of the lid, but the very first time (so she said) that it was put on the front of the sloping lid, and it fell onto my big toe as I was bringing firewood indoors whilst wearing only my slippers just before dawn. And my toe was so swollen that when I next went out for a walk all the skin on top of it got rubbed off.

Finding Ibuprofen reduced to half price at Tesco was no consolation, having a vast stockpile of homebrew was.

 

A good topical application for bruises is Arnica Gel, my wife buys pints of it.

 

How much do you need to drink compared to homebrew?

 

Owchie!!!!!
Speedy healing vibes to you @Vince

 

Much sympathy. I broke 2 ribs falling over on my kitchen floor years ago would you believe. The joys of having Georgian flag stones as a kitchen floor. I had to go to work on a bus travelling on cobbled streets, hell on earth for weeks and nothing the medics could do other than issue pain killers. Take care and DON'T COUGH!

 

Hope it's not too serious Vince, speedy recovery.

 

Ouch! Get well soon Vince.
