My Old Man......

get well soon old man lol

hope your fingers are ok , ouchhhhh

no pain no gain lol, think we have all been there at one time or another, this sounds like an emergency ward 10 advert ..poor old man its like having your finger chopped off good luck i hope its ok

Ha ha Lin, I enjoyed that. As I got to the bottom I was wondering if you got prickled.
You dealt with the emergency well and if you get an offspring going that will be a real bonus.

I think he'll be ok. :o))
The 'broken off bit' will probably be all right aswell.
I hope your fingers will be all right too ;o)

If Hywel thinks he'll recover, I'm sure he will! I'm amazed at what H. gets up to with his cacti! lol.

Well done you for dealing with a possible fatality...now to deal with those pricked fingers. I felt that! OUCH!!

The remaining 'stump' will probably start to branch in time. They do that. Also if you want the cutting to catch try keeping it rather dry for a while.

You Orthopaedic Surgeons are wonderful. It sounds as though your old man is going to pull through because of your quick actions, discounting of course the fact that you knocked him over in the first place!
Now if your fingers are alright by now, alls well that ends well. Good luck Lincslass

Keep away from the edge old man! Pleased you managed to save him Lin. :0)

Hope you wll be well soon old man...

I did have a little chuckle - nice one!

Good job you didn't have to give him the kiss of life-ouch !

lol aster........ im sure your old man will be fine....

If it had been a real man you would have just stepped over him and told him not to be so stupid, wouldn't you!

lol took me a while to realise you didnt mean hubby sue hahah, anyway glad the old man is ok and hope your fingers not to sore :o))

LOL...Toto you are so right....Sandra if it had been Derek, he`d still be moaning now, thumbs and a couple of my fingers are still a bit prickly ,my own fault but I was more concerned about my cactus............

lol sue, yes men do go on dont they haha

I`m so glad you coped with the emergency without panicking, you know what old men can be like! So glad there`s no lasting damage. :o)

well done on the first aid and surgery. hope for a complete recovery.

I had a laugh reading through this blog! :-D It wasn't till I saw the picture of the Cactus that I realised you weren't talking about some kind of ornament that you women are so adept at collecting & putting in every nook & cranny of the house. Lol!

Never mind, all's well that ends well & in a few months you'll have a "son" from your "Old Man"!

My wife must have knocked one of my African Violets off the windowsill in the spare bedroom a couple of days ago. When I went in yesterday to see if the plants needed watering, (they did), I found some compost & a few leaves on the floor. I picked up the leaves & found 3 with some stem on them & put them in a glass of water after cleaning the leaves under the kitchen tap. This morning I put them in a small pot. In a few months I'll have some more Saint Paulias! Especially after having had to throw 2 away today as they were dying.

Glad you got your Old Man sorted, and I`m sure he`ll be in fine fettle in a few weeks time.

Ha ha, what a funny blog, glad the old man is recovering well!

Best wishes, Mick
