Sympathy wanted

by Richard on July 19, 2010

I slipped down some stone steps while walking the dog this morning. Seemed all right at the time, but I ache all over now.

I’m just saying…

1 UMJeremy 07.19.10 at 5:11 pm: Sympathy sent via prayer and healing karma sent via carrier pigeon. Lemme know which gets there first.
2 Kim 07.19.10 at 5:15 pm: A big cwtch from me for you, mate!
3 dh 07.19.10 at 6:18 pm: Richard, you are in my prayers. and no I do not believe in karma.
4 Richard 07.19.10 at 6:19 pm: Thanks Jeremy. I’ll be on the alert.

That’ll be a manly cwtch, I assume Kim?
5 Paul Martin 07.19.10 at 6:42 pm: Whilst I am far too crmudgeonly to offer sympathy as a rule but as you are the grandfather of British Methodist blogging I will send up a prayer for you and hope the pain is soon eased.
6 Sally 07.19.10 at 6:49 pm: sympathy…
7 dh 07.19.10 at 6:50 pm: Kim and Richard cuddling. Awe ain’t that sweet.

We’ll the first century church “greeted each other with a Holy kiss.” I’m sure it was a “manly” one for the men and “womanly” for the women. So I guess it isn’t out the question within its proper context.
8 malc 07.19.10 at 7:14 pm: that’ll be old age then Rich?? ;o) best get stenna in*!!

* - other stair lift providers are available… probably…
9 methodist preacher 07.19.10 at 7:42 pm: I was nowhere in the vicinity at the time!

Get well soon.
10 Richard 07.19.10 at 9:07 pm: Thanks everyone. That outpouring has done the trick - feeling better already.

Jeremy - that carrier pigeon with the healing karma hasn’t arrived yet. As it doesn’t look like I’ll need it immediately, would you like me to send it back or may I hang on to it?
11 Simon 07.19.10 at 9:35 pm: I thought Stenna provided cross channel ferries. Maybe they are another provider
12 Beth 07.19.10 at 10:15 pm: Oh, poor you It’s a shock to the system, isn’t it? But (if you’re like me) you don’t notice at the time because you’re too busy making sure that no-one saw you lose your dignity.
13 Richard 07.19.10 at 10:29 pm: I’m afraid my daughter witnessed the whole sorry affair Beth.

Simon, you’re right. It’s Stenna for ferries, Stannah for stairlifts. And Stella for Artois.
14 Pam 07.20.10 at 12:46 am: At least it wasn’t a fall from grace (or was it?).
15 PamBG 07.20.10 at 1:08 am: Hope you feel better soon.
16 UMJeremy 07.20.10 at 3:07 am: @Richard, keep the pigeon. Poor guy had a loooong flight already, better to commit him to bringing goodwill, cheer, and very small trinkets to local people for the future.
17 Bene D 07.21.10 at 7:08 am: I do hope the dog is providing a doggy share of comfort.

Having suffered permanently from that launch off the stairs a few years ago, I hate to see anyone aching or hurt from a tumble. Prayers and good wishes…
18 Beth 07.21.10 at 12:41 pm: Poor you, Bene. I’m permanently terrified of going down stairs ever since breaking a foot so doing three years ago. On Good Friday. (The following year, I broke a rib on Yom Kippur. Religious festivals aren’t good for me.)

Richard - are you better?
19 Richard 07.21.10 at 1:11 pm: I’m fine now. Thanks everyone.
