As most of you know, my stays in hospital are never incident free.
Since breaking my neck, my hands seem to have developed a mind of their own. For example, this morning I was reading a text on my mobile when my right hand suddenly tossed the phone 6ft into the air. Fortunately it landed on my lap.
During my recent stay in hospital I was happily eating my porridge for breakfast when I suddenly hurled the spoon (full of porridge). It landed smack on top of the head of the patient in the next bed. Fortunately she had dementia and didn't appear to notice. I hopped out of bed to retrieve the spoon and grabbed some paper towels on the way. I removed the spoon and then set about wiping off the porridge. How was I to know she was wearing a wig? I nearly died when it came off in my hands. I honestly tried to clean off the porridge, which by now was cold and congealed. All I succeeded in doing was smearing it all over the wig. At this point I gave up and hearing a nurse approaching, I plonked the wig somewhat askew back on her head and got back into bed.
When the nurse saw her, she remonstrated with her for rubbing porridge on her head, and this was despite the fact the old dear was having toast for breakfast!
Should I have 'fessed up?

Oh gawd, you are worse than Gness xx
This is obviously a case of demonic possession, take care when you look behind you to turn your head back the opposite way.

Gness is a poor (and much smaller) imitation of me xx
Still getting your oats then.

jomifl, with the neck brace I am wearing I can't turn my head 1 degree, let alone 365 degrees!

Canary, they are the only oats I am getting at the moment :-(

lol@ trt!
'Fess up?......Not in a million years.....you're bad enough as it is without confirming the fact to all and sundry.

Has MrO suffered at all from these involuntary hand movements?....☺

I do love to see you posting......♥
Must say Hoppy's post has made me laugh.....I have a vision now of Rumpole defending you in court!
"my hands seem to have developed a mind of their own"

I tried that excuse ... still got a slap :-[]
I hope your hands behaved when the doctor done his rounds ;-))
Question Author
G'day Gness xx
Yes, Mr O has suffered. He has received several blows from me while asleep in bed and I inadvertently threw a cup of tea over him.
Youngest Junior Overall had a spoonful of trifle in the face.

Dave, I think YOU are the one that should be in court! xx

Cupid, yes they did....and it was a she not a he!
How was I to know I'd exceeded the tensile strength of Doreen's bra elastic?
Mrs O. were you disappointed?
Mind you, it certainly lifted and separated ... :+)
