Frail old bones

I was trying to get from the armchair into the wheelchair. I slipped backwards and decided to throw myself forward again. There appeared to me to be a cracking noise and a lot of pain. I lay in the armchair shouting Oh! and things like that. Janet got the nurse and they got me into bed where I stayed for the rest of the day.  I am taking all the painkillers now. I got up for a couple of hours yesterday but just  a minute or two today.
They mentioned Xrays but I cannot go into Lerwick by car. I will need an ambulance each ways.
The nurse has ideas to stop bedsores and I am taking her advice.
I can watch films on the computer so have some entertainment besides internet chess.
Meanwhile I am reading Frank Muir's autobiography.
