Just seen on Facebook that Gail has fallen down stairs and broken both ankles!
Oh noJust seen on Facebook that Gail has fallen down stairs and broken both ankles!
Ah bless her!
I actually really enjoy watching Gail on air - I know most on here seem not to, and I’m surprised I do because I don’t usually like louder people - but I find she is no nonsense and it’s usually cheered me up when I’ve seen her presenting!
Really hope she can manage on crutches and isn’t in too much pain.. What timing!
Here she isI dont know who this woman is, but she has every sympathy from me after I broke ONE last year and had a bad enough time!
You're a sensible girl & so many accidents happen at home because that's where we're at our most relaxed; a couple of years ago I was doing some darning downstairs & realised that I need something that was in our room so ran upstairs with a needle between my teeth... Stupid woman & fortunately I thought that exact thing when half way up.Both ankles ! gawd she'll be immobile for weeks - nightmare.
Since I was widowed 20 years ago I became more aware of home safety. I always struggled getting out of the deep bath so I swapped it for a walk in shower. Coming downstairs I never wear shoes - the prospect of slipping is too great, so its generally barefoot and heel to the back of the step. Who remembers Carol Vorderman hands in pockets wearing stilettos skipping then tumbling down concrete steps, and went flat on her face !
I also invested in a 4 step safety ladder with hand rail for those high up jobs- money well spent.
You're such a loveI fell of a friend's skateboard that I was standing on while watching him trying to ride my unicycle - - - I forgot I was standing on it and not on firm ground, and it shot from under me.
In case you think this was a childhood accident, I was over 50!
I was hobbling around with a stick for weeks afterwards.
Yes, we can be very casual about things while in the comfort of our own homes.You're a sensible girl & so many accidents happen at home because that's where we're at our most relaxed; a couple of years ago I was doing some darning downstairs & realised that I need something that was in our room so ran upstairs with a needle between my teeth...
