Today I nearly died...

Featured Replies

...It's true

 

Although picking one of the hottest days of the year so far to have a good clear up of the attic maybe wasn't one of my smartest moves as it was like a greenhouse up there.

 

So David is an idiot who picks the worst day of the year to do some tidying up, also the bin-men are going to love me, as once again the recycling wheelie bin is full of old magazines and paperwork, making it rather heavy.

 

But the part where I nearly died is when I lost my footing on the ladder, catching my arm on a sharp corner, I lost quite a bit of blood in my journey to the kitchen to get a plaster.

Oh my goodness, David! That seems pretty scary. I am really afraid of heights so I never get on ladders.

 

I'm glad you are okay enough to relay your story to us. Be careful!

Be careful not to use ladders or be careful not to go into the attic when it's hot outside?

yeahh be careful... about the ladder

... good to hear you're ok

I didn't say I was carrying a heavyish box at the time ;)

 

I was too lazy to empty the box and carry it up piece by piece

Davids die in hot attics. :worried:

 

Did you not go to A&E if you were losing blood? Is your arm okay?

  • Author

Nearest A&E is about 20 miles away :P

 

My arm is okay, I have done worst to it

Good good, keep it clean though. Good boy :policeman: :D

:stunned: aww bad to hear that :cry: poor you, that is quite scary, i always fear to fall from a high place and i am always scared when my dad is on a ladder or doing something on the window :worried:

 

good to hear that you are better at least to can had post that.

It was rubbish here today. Nowhere near the hottest day of the year.

that sounds scary! I'm always afraid of something falling on top of my head.. so I'm always looking up

Hope you are OK Dave and hope you've had a tetanus vaccine in the past 10 years. If not, you should do that ASAP. Heat stroke + spinal cord injury from a fall 2 things you should try to avoid. :rolleyes:

 

Already heat indexes of >100 in Houston.

Oh bugger,but since your typing you must be okay now.

He won't die! :stunned:
