"I'm never ill, I never have time off work"
"HO!, DO YOU THINK SO?"
24 hours ago there I was lying on the floor of one of the isles in Tescos...
"Are you ok?"
"No, I'm lying on the floor"
"You fell down with a hell of a bang"
"Tell me about it, I was there"
"Can you get up?"
"The fact that I'm lying on the floor would seem to suggest otherwise"
"Do you need a chair?"
"Morhine might be better"
My ankle went over, it's swollen like a bitch. I can't even put wieght on it. I won't be going into work today
God smiles..."There you go"

Sorry to hear about the ankle. As an experiment, why not try repeating 'I've NEVER won the National Lottery'?
Might be worth a go |

For strains and sprains, try RICE. No not the small white fluffy stuff you get with a curry or throw at weddings (and try to get down the brides cleavage). R - Rest -try not to put too much weight on it (but do try to keep it moving as much as is possible) I - Ice -Put an ice pack (or bag of frozen peas - but probably best not to go back to Tesco if you haven't got any) C - Compression - Bandage it tightly (though not so tight your toes turn blue) regularly check your toes to ensure you have adequate circulation. E - Elevation - Keep it raised (though if you can get it above your head whilst standing you are actually fit enough to go back to work).
Vision without action is just a dream, action without vision just passes the time. With action and vision you can change the world. |
