Ref. Recent posts my stupid fall.2 days ago I went shopping with the wife for the first time since coming out of hospital , and did the same thing in the shopping mall. Don’t think have damaged or broken limbs and after being dragged up from the deck came home. However 2 days later am suffering from internal pains and can hardly move. Much worse than was when came out of hospital.
Brian must have caught the lurgy off you .will maybe have to remit myself to the hospital for X-rays and examination after the holidays .in the meantime can barely move and if do it’s not worth the pain so am now static. Only thing is I finished on my back this time.. Back to the old water jug at the bedside . Cheers JS

Re: Falls
Blooming heck John, Please call a Doctor or the A&E Dept at your nearest Hospital and let them decide if you should attend the X-Ray Dept tout suite!
Mr Daddy cool. Failing that I'm going to call your Son.

Re: Falls
John, listen to the good lady while you still can.
Emergency departments are for just that, you should have gone there by ambo as soon as it happened, not at sea on the bloody deck now you know.
DO AS YOU ARE TOLD.........NOW
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Bleedin Heck! If its not Capt having something , then its John falling off Ladders, and now the other John falling over! Try putting more water with it JS!
On a more serious note JS, you must take more care and slow down now!
And listen to the Voice! Get to the Hospital!

Update: The bold Mr John W Sabourn is now awaiting a visit from a Doctor after his recent telephone call, he may have been swayed by all here or the hint of morphine available! One of us will keep you posted on the outcome.
