Not sure how it happened. One moment I was doing some Nordic walking in the corridor, next thing I knew I was on the floor after a substantial nosebleed into the carpet. No memory at all of what happened in between.
Somebody called an ambulance and two excellent paramedics got me up and and into a wheelchair to go back to the flat at the other end of the corridor. They did a very thorough assessment and found nothing of concern. Excellent NHS service. Just a matter of waiting for the bleed to stop (nearly, after six hours) and trying not to set it off again. We've had an industrial carpet cleaner in to deal with the bloody carpet, but apparently he says the section may need to be replaced.
Many thanks to all who helped out in one way or another.
The trouble is that I'm still a couple of thousand short of my target step count for the day, and if I can't rely on the Nordic corridor walking with its many benefits, things will not be looking too good. I've become very reliant on that for all its many benefits and don't want to have to cut that back or out altogether.
Here's a gruesome photo, most of the damage probably caused by the top of my left pole. Those of a nervous disposition might like to move straight on to the next post...
Here it is...
Perhaps a small treadmill you can hold onto the arms my husband relies on that
