I'd like to punch....UNEVEN PAVEMENTS!! Had a nasty fall yesterday just walking round the corner for half a dozen eggs. I've been in a fair bit of pain these last couple of weeks so was taking my time and using my stick, and still managed to fall! It isn't something I'm in the habit of doing I hasten to add but because of my back and sciatic nerve, don't walk naturally anymore so am always aware that it could be a possibility. I came down very heavily on my left knee then hip and jarred across the bottom of my back - and of course the damaged nerve is on the left side! Today I feel as though I've done a few rounds with Mike Tyson but it could be worse - nothing's broken and it was before I bought the eggs!! I think the worst thing is how vulnerable it's made me feel and at 52 it's making me angry on behalf of the elderly who are having to face this potential danger every day so..............DOWN WITH UNEVEN PAVEMENTS!
Sorry about the rant but I do feel better for it even though I probably won't be around much for a couple of days. Thanks for 'listening'
