As if there weren't enough injuries/sickness in this house....

[warrior queen]

....my man fell off the roof today. We've just got back from the hospital - he has severely sprained his left elbow and wrist, but no breaks thank goodness. He'll be turning black and blue over the left side in the next day or so as he's pretty much bruised and scraped all down that side.
Bugger is, he was actually wearing a harness. But slipped when moving the clip from one side of the capping to the other.
And to be fair, it was pissing down rain and slippery as hell (he was up there as the strong winds have loosened something on the satellite dish).

You know how men think they're dieing when they have a cold?
It's waaaaaay worse if they get injured while trying to fix something you asked them to look at

 

[geronimo_appleby]

well, i hafta say he kinda asked for it, eh? pissing down with rain and slippery as hell?

Why would you ask your spouse to go on the roof while it's raining?

 

[girlsmiley]

He's up there in the wind and rain? Silly.

 

[warrior queen]

Why would you ask your spouse to go on the roof while it's raining?

Because the satellite dish snapped 2 of the three mounts and was threatening to punch a hole through the tin.
We had some wild weather early this morning.

I don't have MTV or any other such thing.
The satellite dish is for the phone and net - we live too far out to get standard cable service.

No.
But the 263 1:18 scale collection of model cars in the room directly underneath the dish is!

I have a feeling many here would not dispute that statement.

Hahaha..... he waa originally going up without the harness. In hindsight it made no diff anyway
He's ok-ish today, just bruised up and a little swollen in the arm.
Couple of days and he'll be good to go

He's a little disgusted that I'm using hemarhoid cream on his bruises, but that stuff works!

He could just as easily have snapped his neck and died.

Ah yes! Bigotry comes is all sizes, especially for us menfolk. Hemorrhoid cream is hemorrhoid cream, cant be anything else!

Try convincing anyone that fire ant venom is a good antibiotic, and has a delicious lemon taste; cant be done!

It is one thing to wear a harness and another to wear and use it correctly.

I hope the fucker is alright.

I would have just shook my head at you.

Then made sure you were alright.
