ECOR = ex-chairman off road
After weeks and weeks of work and several thousand quid spent, I was putting literally the finishing touches on the full kitchen refit this afternoon. Up a step ladder when without warning the steps shot out from under me sideways and before I knew it, I was on the floor on my left side, dazed and confused.
After about 30 seconds, the pain started to get my attention big style. Within two minutes, I was really suffering and in extreme pain, particularly my lower left arm.
One ambulance ride to A & E later (no blues and twos, how disappointing, but lots of gas and air) and three hours later, I'm home with a broken left ulna fractured just above the wrist, which still hurts like hell. Worse, with my forearm in a full cast, no driving for six weeks.
First time I've ever broken a major bone in my life, a record I was proud of. This sucks.
