I was walking down my hallway today, bare feet on ceramic tiles, and there was some water on the tiles, I slipped and went down landing very heavily on my right knee and my head missed the floor by only inches. My knee is very sore and swollen and will probably bruise and my right wrist is also a bit sore so I must have put my right hand out when I fell. I have no idea where the water came from, I was home alone today as my wife is in Perth so it is a mystery. I can imagine my leg will be pretty stiff tomorrow so guess I will have to spend some time at my modeling bench :) ;)

Ouch, hope you feel better soon. Nothing like some therapy at the modelling desk, until you forget about the knee and try to get up too quickly! ;)
-
Ouch!
-
Get well soon!

Well, if the tumble leads you to spend time at the modelling bench, Des, then your misfortune could turn to be our good fortune.
But, I do hope things don't turn out too discomforting. Here's to a speedy recovery.
Best wishes

Alternatively, feet up, relax. Ice pack on the knee on which you can rest a cold beer....

Quick Bo, whip up another card! ;) ;D
Sorry to hear of the ouch, Des, but they say building
aeroplanes has amazing healing powers. Hope
you feel not so sore soon.
Cheers,
Ernie :)

I don't think I can draw a Battaille ;)

Hope you will get well soon!

Like Nigel, Des, I recommend the optimistic approach to this misfortune. I'd bet there's several projects in the back of your mind that could benefit greatly from some quiet contemplation or mild preparation. And as he says, this could turn out to be our good fortune as well. If not, Ian has the perfect fall back position, keeping your brew cold on the ice pack..........gotta love it! ;)
Get well soon.
Cheers,
Lance

Have a quick recovery Des and ... happy modeling!
Kind regards

There's nothing more therapeutic than modeling unless it's modeling while drinking a cold beer. I have some Fosters in the fridge and will drink one to your health. Get well soon, buddy.
Cheers,

That sounds very painful Des - just glad it is not your head that is swollen after hitting the ground. Modelling is OK but what about the wrist? If that is stiff and you are not left handed it could be a frustrating time ahead. Do get well soon.

Des
Sorry to hear of your accident and incapacitation.
The next time your wife goes to Perth go with her and I'll introduce you to the guys in the Western Front Modellers club.
Do pop me a PM if you're ever coming this way.
Look after yourself.
Cheers

Painful!!
Still Des, at least you'll have some good model building therapy to enjoy .............. !

Bummer, Des! I've done that... also slipped off a roof and accidentally set my jeans on fire. Not to mention all the potential hazards at the hobby bench. I hope your knee and hand are just achy today and that no further rehabilitation is required!
-
Thanks very much guys for all the kind comments, it has made me feel better already.
After a nights sleep I woke to a swollen knee with bruising, my leg is a bit stiff but not as bad as I thought it would be, I can walk okay albeit with a limp and my knee is very sore, my wrist is only marginally sore today, so all in all I came out of it not bad, it will take a week or so for the swelling to subside, modeling is definitely on the agenda for the next few days :)

Take care Des. Having done similar to my knees, I know the feeling.
-
Maybe you can use it to impress the ladies at the bar? ;D
-
Sorry to hear that. Hope you get to feeling better. A hot soak should help too.
Stay safe.

Hope you're well on the mend by now Des?
