LOTR related illnesses or injuries - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Injuries I've suffered have been of a more sedentary nature.

I often get a crick in my neck from trying to lift down one of the heavier books, or at least suffer a lot of earache from huffing and moaning when I ask for one to be lifted down for me.

I got my One Ring stuck on my thumb when all my hands swelled up when I was up t'spout, and I achieved that injury with very little effort indeed!

I've also had pins and needles many a time from sitting on my bum for too long while writing lengthy posts on here and I'm sure I'm not alone in thumping something after watching a long post with a load of pertinent quotes painstakingly copied out disappear into the great yawning maw of a busted internet connection...

I've suffered from the last two of those afflictions. Aye, I've had the Ring stuck, the evil thing. It changes size, you know, when it goes on your finger...

I also once caught mine on a Tesco trolley, which was painful

davem nearly got killed trespassing on a railway line because of that Ring, too, but that's another story...

As a new practitioner of the art of quilting, I am still butterfingers with the needlework and have endured many a pr*ck and even a stab from both a "between" and a "sharp", to say nothing of injuries from ball head and flat head pins. I can't tell you the number of times such injuries elicited a good old LotR cry from me, "Oh Arwen".
