I'll be in Katoomba in Feb for the Uke Festival (with my group!) I hope to check out ALL the interesting shops then!
My grandmother used to have a house in Blackheath ..... and my brothers went to school at Blue Mountains Grammar ..... we used to visit the area often as kids .... fond memories. 1 -
Yesterday I took the dog for a very spritely 4km walk early in the morning and ended up tripping over my own feet. I no longer have neuropathy, so I can't blame that. I have been sleeping well, so can't blame that - just a clumsy clot!!
Anyway, I did that whole tumble - jutting forward for 6 huge galumping steps before hitting the pavement. Some poor bloke tried to catch me as he was walking towards me in the opposite direction.
Happy with y initial reaction:
'That will most likely be your best entertainment for the day guys' as I sat there, took stock of any possible injuries and four fellow 6 am walkers came to my aid.
Good news is, I didn't even graze enough skin to lose any claret......but OMG - my arse is soooo sore!!
I have pulled a muscle - deep in the glute - think where the glute and hamstring join - I am Limpy Lou today. On nti-inflammatories, heat pack, rest.

ooooh .... I can feel it (and see it!) @JJ70 ..... glad you didn't graze or bust anything ... but those muscle tears will be sore!
Make haste slowly .... and so glad the other bloke tried to break your fall and the others checked up on you too!
Maybe a long soak in a warm bath with radox salts as well? (With a glass of wine in hand, perhaps?)
Some deep heat (or Percutane) would help there, too, I reckon!
Take care xx

Careful with that bath @JJ70. I ran my head into an aviary door just before Christmas and pulled my torso muscles. My head was fine. I figured a magnesium bath would work wonders. Except I couldn’t get out! I ended up on my hands and knees in the bath and then lifted one leg out at a time. No doubt looked hilarious but it pulled my shoulder muscle as I was only four weeks out from the mastectomy and didn’t have strength where I needed it. Once I stopped crying I definitely saw the funny side.3

Sorry @Blossom1961 but that has all the hallmarks of life here at the Villa of reduced circumstances
I've knocked myself out trying to move the washing machine (forgot the dryer is above it, fuck that hurt when I came to) fallen off ladders, sprained my ankle walking out the front door and the bloody horse sat on me, again, last week when I was doing his feet. I've also brained myself on a friend's aviary door, but that was while escaping from the Turkey From Hell. Long story, but no more bird sitting for me.
Every injury turns into some manic domino fall--this leads to that which causes something else to seize up. You end up with a headache if you stub your toe and it feels like your skull has been nailgunned to your neck whenever anything goes wrong, regardless of what body part is affected.
I installed a rail next to the bath only recently as I could see getting stuck in there was a distinct possibility. You are lucky you could roll over, I'm getting so bloody fat I'd probably be wedged in there for days. Mxx7 -
