Just spent the last 3 hours in A&E (emergency room for you US folks) after my bathroom attacked me.

I was peacefully laying the in bath when the glass shower screen decided to fall off the wall smash the sink and fling glass into the bath. Pop marking my leg, creating a 1cm cut on my second toe and filling the bath with glass. I then had to figure a way of getting out of the bath without standing on the vast quantities of glass I was now sharing a bath with. Irene to the rescue, who brushed it down and covered it with towels. I managed to get out without further damage. Gently bandaged bleeding foot and went for a 3 hour wait. I had 4 x-rays and was stuck back together with superglue.

Oh, the joys of bathing. I'm beginning to think Worf was right.

That and the fact I had another x-ray about 2 weeks ago, were I discovered I've got arthritic changes to my left knee, which has been painful off and on for the last 4 or so years since I fell off my bike in the snow.

I'm not sure the wisdom that comes with age is worth the pain.

Holy shit I'm glad you're alive, at least! Good going helping out, Irene!

Sorry for all the hardships you went through, Ian. But glad you're still here considering what you went through.

I keep hearing horror stories from people about their glass screen doors in their bathroom trying to kill them.

Hell it happened a few weeks ago to a friend of mine.

makes me glad all we've got is a simple curtain. Much less chance of lacerations.

One of my friends was in their bathroom a year or so ago just using the mirror, and the glass around the shower spontaneously exploded. Only a few minor cuts but they said it sounded like a bomb.

Indeed, I'm still recovering as my toe is glued together. A new form of stitching using superglue to hold things together while they heel themselves.

The other bad news I've had medically recently is that I have the starts of osteoarthritis in the left knee. It has been a problem for about 6 months now, off and on. Recently it's gotten somewhat worse. I had a really bad day a week ago where I could hardly walk. I'm now waiting on a knee brace to start exercising again.
