I have spent the last two (ish) days in bed with a migraine. Really odd as its the first one in months and months and it's coincided with my right BHR pain anyway, I digress ...

I rolled over in bed this morning and thought 'ooh I feel not too bad, what's the time'. Pleasantly surprised at feeling ok I reached across for my Blackberry to see what the time is and on rolling back over my silly dead hand forgot how to hold the phone.

I dropped it right on the outer corner of my eye! Ouch!

I now have an impressive black eye and no one believes I did it in bed or I get the 'ooh must have been fun' comments.

Very embarrassing. I might have to come up with a better story before the physio tomorrow. Any ideas?

    The physio will probably tag you as 'query battered wife', Fols :)

    Sorry I can't help. I do empathise though having once managed to break a hip in bed. It's a long story and nowhere near as interesting, or as much fun, as what you may be imagining.

    I firmly agree with my Mum who would never stay in bed if she could possibly drag herself out of it. "They die in bed" was her explanation and motivation.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Can you imagine to damage if it had been a banana?

    Sticky, your mum is sooo right, they do die in bed.

    I know one thing - I do feel a bit of a fruit fool :lol:

    My son said I should have made up a really impressive story lol

    I to have a blackberry and I can't live without my phone, it's a sort of secretary/P.A for me.

    Every time (and I mean every time) I open a new box of tissues I manage to get a serious paper cut, that bleeds so much it needs staunching with the newly opened tissues. My husband thinks its ridiculous, I think the tissues are out to get me. :shock:
