    Sorry to hear about the fall ☹️ Dressings wise I always keep a roll of that white dressings tape in my first aid kit. It’s super sticky. Micropore tape.

    I’m sure if you let a friend know, they would help with the kitchen. It’s dreadful that you were so badly hurt but at least it happened after you had seen ds as I know you don’t like him to be concerned 
    We just laugh most of the time. Lots of black humour in our family.

    Actually one of my friends is a practise nurse. I may message her. Oh maybe not. She will have a fit if she hears that I fell backwards and make yet more impractical suggestions 🤔
