Had an accident yesterday, we were moving mattresses he stumbled backwards and fell on his wrist. We didn’t think it was broken so wrapped it after using ice. By morning he was more uncomfortable so we went to convenient care where they took xrays … it was. He is now sporting a removable cast so he can wash his hands and shower. This is his first broken bone and the last time we will try moving mattresses!
Lesson learned!
He doesn’t look too sorry for himself! I can empathise with him I broke my right wrist about 18 years ago - I did a proper job & needed insertion of plates & screws! The worst part is the physio to get it moving again after 6 wks!
Oh dear, poor Ron. My hubby sends his best regards having fallen 3 times in the past 18 months, the worst one being a couple of weeks ago in the back garden. Sending good wishes for a speedy recovery to Ron and patience for Nurse Dorothy. No more mattress moving!

Thank you, we too are hoping for a quick recovery! He did well last night and today except when he accidentally hit his arm on the counter.

Ron slept well last night and had a good day. Sorry your husband has had some falls, Hope he didn’t injure himself to badly. It was his first broken bone! I’ve been lucky too. Hope I didn’t jinks myself!
No more moving mattresses!!!!
Luckily he is😊
Yes we learned an important lesson, can’t do what we could a few years ago!
He truly is Diane. A real blessing.
Thank you. He’s had a pretty good day today and slept well last night.
Oh you really had a terrible break! His doctor didn’t think it needed surgery. Hope yours is good now.
We thank you Paula, hopefully it will be speedy! He’s pretty self reliant, I try to help sometimes, he doesn’t always need it! 😊
Thank you, we are hoping for that also. He is a “real trooper “ 😊
We weren’t familiar with the cast type either. Hope it works! 🙏🏻
Thank you. We didn’t know about the removable cast either!
