Ros Had A Fall

Well what a start to the year!

Saturday 14^th January Ros got up out of chair at 10 pm & said I am going to bed I will let Beau out. I was finishing off watching a program and switching everything off. I then thought Ros has been a long time I walked out the back door flood light switches on automatically and there is stood Ros crying with blood over her face! I said what the hell has happened, I don't know was the answer! Looks like you have fallen over, she smashed her glasses, cut above her eye brow, face, arm & knee were grazed, watch was broken. She was more upset breaking her glasses! She is 5ft 9 got osteoporosis so could have been a lot worse thankfully no bones broken. Outside the back door is a tarmaced parking area I think she hit it face down. On the Sunday took her to Bideford Minor Injuries unit and on Monday took her to Barnstaple A&E for a CT scan but they did not give her one due to radiation! Checked blood pressure & another ECG all clear, they think she got up to quickly. The black eye and other bruises on her shoulder arms and legs. Really shook her up for a few days and lost her appetite so it was soups for evening meals. I was doing dressing for off couple of weeks.  I purchased a new torch XML-T6 LED torch it lights up the garden used by the police & military.  I also watch her get up in the mornings once she is on her feet. She now has her new glasses she had been using 10 year old ones which did not help her eye but it was them or not see at all being short sighted. Her old ones were only 12 months old a cost we could do without, but glasses can be repaired quickly bodies take longer. We looked a right pair with our silly glasses on I was wearing my ex BT safety glasses due to the coating on mine breaking down only 2 weeks out of guarantee L Again just over 12 months old. They were sent off to Nikon who stated been by heat! In the end had to have new lenses another £100 spent.
