Published: 09 December 2005
So, I say to Sir Ian McKellen, you're 66 now. You've got the classical theatre career and the knighthood. You've become a late-flowering but energetic blockbuster action hero - you've got your Lord of the Rings tattoo, and you're just back from filming the third X-Men movie.
You've campaigned for gay rights, and civil partnerships for same-sex couples have just been enshrined in law. You've been in Coronation Street, which was a long-held ambition. And last year you played Widow Twankey in Aladdin at the Old Vic, which was another. So why on earth are you doing it again?
"Because I enjoyed myself so much!" booms McKellen. "It was everything I hoped it would be. I'm dreadfully sentimental about the theatre, and believe that it's good for me and good for anyone who gets involved, on-stage or in the audience. Pantomime sums up that spirit and magnifies it so much that you just feel you are in a situation where love abounds."
He launches into a detailed and convincing theory about Dames being direct descendants of Shakespeare's cross-dressing actors, and of panto as a cathartic experience recalling pre-Christian celebrations of misrule and chaos. But basically, he loves Aladdin because it's a good old family knees-up, and because, after years of roles that required received pronunciation, he was able to plant his Twankey firmly in his native Lancashire.
Ian Murray McKellen was born in 1939 in Burnley and brought up in Wigan, where his father Denis worked as a civil engineer. His Dame is not based on his mother, Lois (who died of breast cancer when he was 12), or on his stepmother, Gladys (who is still alive at 99), because they were "petite, very feminine women".
Initially, he looked for inspiration to the "hard-working, sexy, juicy" mill women who terrified him as a boy. But in performance, he was surprised to realise that his Twankey had quite a lot in common with his sister. Jean McKellen was five years older than her brother, took him to see his first Shakespeare play, Twelfth Night, and remained a keen amateur actor and director until her recent death.
"My Twankey wanted to go into showbusiness, then got sidetracked, as many people do, by marriage and having children," McKellen explains. "Jean introduced me to the theatre. She was the actor before I was, in school. She died the year before we did the pantomime - we think it was a stroke, but she fell down some steps at night and banged her head and never regained consciousness - so she couldn't see the show."
He gives one of those familiar, bittersweet smiles. "I don't think she would have approved. She had a clear idea of the kind of actor I was and it didn't include pantomime or Coronation Street. I didn't consciously base my performance on Jean, but there is one photograph outside the Old Vic of me cosying up to [co-star] Roger Allam, shaking my leg, and I look exactly like her. I looked at it the other day with moist eyes and I thought, Jean is still with us, through Twankey."
After Twankey, he will appear next year in a new Mark Ravenhill play, The Cut, at the Donmar. Then, in 2007, will come the part known as the actor's Everest. McKellen quotes - and does a rather good impression of - Ralph Richardson: "I seem to have got my foot caught in a Lear," he says.
When the RSC asked him to play the part in their cycle of Shakespeare's entire canon, he asked his friend from his Cambridge University days, Trevor Nunn, to direct. Now he's casting around for another play - "maybe a Chekhov, in which I wouldn't have a major part" - to pair with the tragedy for a year-long tour, and begging the notoriously timeprofligate Nunn to keep the Lear under three hours.
"For the audience's sake as much as mine," he insists, "but theatre is really a young man's game. I find the most demanding thing about acting is committing to an emotional state which isn't my own: it's draining, night after night."
This admission of weariness is a surprise: the one thing McKellen has never convincingly acted is his age. "You can't get to 66 and have a sibling who is not much older die, and not be aware of your own mortality," he says. "I can't any longer take good health for granted."
At around the time of his sister's death, McKellen went for a chest X-ray which revealed some shadows on his lungs, prompting him finally to give up smoking and take up Pilates, even though it was later discovered that the shadows were his nipples. Then, just before starting in Aladdin, cancerous cells were found in his prostate.
"You can do three things: leave it and monitor it; have it cut out, or have radiotherapy," he says. "I went for the radiotherapy option, but I said, 'Look, I do have to do this pantomime first.' When I went back at the end of the run, the cancer had gone." He smiles: "Dr Theatre!"
Not only his health, but also his romantic situation, makes McKellen think of the future. Although he has had two long-term relationships - with teacher Brian Taylor when he was 25, and with Aladdin's director Sean Matthias in his forties - he currently lives alone in his Thames-side house.
Would he like to be civilly partnered? "Yes, yes," he says, "I just wish they had legalised gay marriage instead, but I don't put out of the question the idea that I won't take advantage of it in the future. And if I were a generation younger, I might consider what I never have done, which is having a family." Really? But you always said you would make a wretched parent. "Yes, but I think that was me comforting myself, accepting the situation that I wouldn't be allowed, legally, to have a child."
Is he lonely? "There are advantages to living by myself," he says. "I can do what I want when I want. But to know there is someone waiting for you through thick and thin is appealing. The older you get, the more you wonder if you really want to be living on your own. I talk to friends of mine, most of them gay, who are on their own, and they are all a bit worried. We wonder whether we shouldn't all decide to live together in some sort of commune. I think I would enjoy that."
And with that prospect cheering him against the vicissitudes of age, he heads back to the community which has always embraced him, the theatre.

Libyan Deputy PM survives attack in Tripoli
January 29, 2014 - 21:32 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Libya's Deputy Prime Minister survived unhurt after gunmen fired on his car in Tripoli on Wednesday, Jan 29, in an attack reflecting the violent chaos plaguing the North African nation two years after Muammar Gaddafi's fall, Reuters reports.
The Libyan government is struggling to contain dozens of unruly militias, former rebel brigades and militants who kept their guns after the NATO-backed revolt against Gaddafi in 2011.
Deputy Prime Minister Sadiq Abdulkarim said he had been attacked on his way from the Interior Ministry to the General National Congress assembly. He is also interim Interior Minister since the previous minister quit several months ago.
"I tell those who did it that Libya is bigger than you and Libya's men will not be threatened by bullets, guns or rockets," Abdulkarim said a two-minute statement on television.
The state news agency said he had not been wounded in the attack. Abdulkarim, who appeared healthy in his television appearance, said he had returned to work afterwards.
The identity of the attackers was unclear, an Interior Ministry official said.
Libya's difficulties in asserting state authority worry Western powers which fear that violence in the OPEC country could spill over to its North African neighbors.
Parts of Libya are already effectively under the control of militias, armed tribesmen and Islamist militant groups.
Libya's fledgling army and police, still in training, are no match for the militias that fought in the anti-Gaddafi uprising. The government has tried to co-opt them with state jobs but they often remain loyal to their commanders or local regions.
Security has deteriorated in recent months. More than 40 people were killed in fighting between rival groups and residents in Tripoli in October. Car bombs and assassinations have become part of daily life in the eastern city of Benghazi.
An armed blockade of three major eastern ports by a group demanding a greater share of oil wealth and more regional autonomy has choked off 600,000 barrels per day of oil exports.
Prime Minister Ali Zeidan's government faces a budget crunch due to the blockade, now in its sixth month. Oil exports, Libya's lifeline, have more than halved during the dispute.

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
Gold-winning American Jewish gymnast Aly Raisman has accepted an invitation from Israel Diaspora Affairs Minister Yuli Edelstein for her and her family to make their first visit to Israel.
Raisman, who performs floor routines to the melody of "Hava Nagilah," won an individual gold medal in her floor exercise last week and a bronze on the balance beam after helping the U.S. women's team take the gold.
Edelstein wrote an impassioned letter congratulating Raisman and invited not only the 18-year-old gymnast, but also her parents, Lynn and Rick, and her younger siblings Brett, Chloe, and Madison, to be his guests.
She accepted on Friday after a telephone conversation facilitated by Dan Shapiro, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, according to The Post.
"For me personally, as the minister in charge of relations with Diaspora Jewry, hearing why you chose the song made me realize that the concept of Kol Israel Arevim Zeh Lazeh [All Jews are responsible for one another] still holds true and that the Jewish people remain united no matter how far apart we may live. I was impressed that someone so young made such a monumental, ethical decision," Edelstein wrote to Raisman, The Post reported.
"Making your first visit to Israel is not only important because it is the homeland of the Jewish people but also because you can contribute from your experience to the young generation of Israeli athletes," Edelstein reportedly added.
There were no details on the timing or length of the visit.

This is kinda Biblical….. remember Queen Ester? Had the queen simply reigned as queen and not stood up for her people, she would have vanished unknown into history. Aly Raisman could have simply chosen other music and accepted her medal simply as another American. Her courage, integrity, honor puts her right up there as a modern Ester of sorts.

The following excerpts of instant-message conversations between former Amaranth Advisors energy trader Brian Hunter, fellow ex-Amaranth trader Matthew Donohoe, other Amaranth chief energy risk manager David Chasman and a trader at another firm were included in the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's complaint against Hunter and Amaranth, filed in New York federal court yesterday.
Feb. 24, 2006 (expiry day for the March 2006 New York Mercantile Exchange natural gas futures contract), between Hunter and a natural gas trader at another firm, from 1:31 p.m. (Eastern time) and 1:35 p.m.:
Hunter: We have 4000 to sell MoC [market on close]
Hunter: shhhh
gloverb: come on
Hunter: y
gloverb: unless you are huge bearish
gloverb: position
gloverb: why the f would yo do that
Hunter: all from options yesterday
Hunter: so we ll see what the floor has
Hunter: bit of an expiriment mainly
gloverb: what the f
gloverb: that is huge
Hunter: I think John [Arnold] and Sempra [Energy] are sellers too
A few minutes after the start of the closing range, "gloverb" asked Hunter, "arent you done"? Hunter replied, "no…have a lot more to sell…waiting until 2:20."
On Feb. 24, in the middle of the closing range, Hunter IMed Donohoe to say "today came together quite nicely." Later, immediately after the closing range at 2:30 p.m.:
Donohoe: h [March contract] will settle lower
Donohoe: and h/j wider
Donohoe: nice
Hunter: I am flexing here
Donohoe: looking preety bang on
Donohoe: we already mimicked
Dohohoe: lol
Donohoe: rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Hunter: hahahahaha
Donohoe: 2nd best…sept/oct last year still the best
Donohoe: oh yeag
April 26, 2006, between Hunter and Amaranth energy risk manager David Chasman, from 12:48 p.m. to 12:56 p.m.:
Hunter: FYI [John] Arnold is getting scary short into the [Energy Information Agency gas storage] number tomorrow
Chasman: what u think arnold has?
Hunter: we are rolling size into may
Hunter: and I am worrie that Anold has taken the other side of everything
Hunter: so either he runs it up to the close today and gets short tomorrow
Hunter: or has a HUGE view on the number tomorrow
Chasman: other side of everything meaning buying from everyone else selling – or buying from [you]
Hunter: no buying may and selling June…with me
Chasman: does he know what [you are] up [to] [with respect to] rolling off length?... sorry rolling off short
Hunter: probably
Hunter: I think it is more that he thinks its going to get [f…d] tomorrow
Hunter: me may try to help it by running the market up on the close
Chasman: kinda hard to do when selling – no?
Hunter: Arnold is the master of moving the close?

eROI prepares for a leap
|| Print |
|Articles - June 2010
|Thursday, May 27, 2010
PORTLAND After distinguishing itself as one of Oregon's fastest-growing private companies in 2007, the 46-employee Portland-based e-marketing firm eROI saw its growth slow through 2008 and 2009. But don't blame the recession.
What actually happened was more carefully orchestrated, CEO Ryan Buchanan explains. Beginning in January of 2008, Buchanan assembled a team of nine employees to build an online communications platform for email campaigns that can be tracked through mobile marketing channels and social media.
eROI plans to launch the $1.5 million platform in late June. Not only will the platform enable eROI to control its own destiny rather than being chained to licensed software, it will also vastly expand the company's offerings, Buchanan says. "We need to come out of the chute with a solid application to leapfrog our competition," he says.
eROI's creative and technical staffers will also need to oversee a massive migration of 500 clients from the current system to the new one.
Buchanan, a big fan of the Oregon "indie spirit" and the chairman of the Software Association of Oregon, has gotten this far without outside investors. But he says he may consider new financial backing to take eROI to the next level. "We'll want to make sure we're in a position of strength before we bring in a new investor," he says.

Nandigram: The Nandigram violence will now be a part of a film that also includes victims of rape, arson and other atrocities in Nandigram. The actors of the film are the victims of the Nandigram carnage.
For 15-year-old Nandigram victim Bulu Mir the wounds on his body may have healed but not the scars it has left behind. Shot in the head during the infamous Nandigram carnage Bulu was saved miraculously. His story is now a part of celluloid
"Through this film everyone will know the torture I went through," Mir said.
Like, Aleya Bibi who was shot in the stomach by CPI-M cadres and lost her-two-year old daughter in the attack is also a part of a film titled 'Chokker Paani' that tells the story of their ordeal. The film is on its last leg of shooting and includes several other victims of rape, arson and other atrocities in Nandigram.
Aleya Bibi said, "Only the people of Nandigram know what really happened here, now it's for everyone to know."
Manik Mondal whose novel the film is based on describes it as an extension of their protest that the political parties should know
"Promoting this film before the polls takes their voice to the people and the politicians," Mondal said.
For most of the victims who have acted in this film, it hasn't been easy to re-live their traumatic past in front of the camera. But with their eye on the elections on the May 3, they don't want their past to haunt them any more, but look forward to a brighter future, a better tomorrow.

Spam-maker Hormel Spends to Reclaim Name 201
from the ain't-gonna-happen dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Ads for Spam... go figure.
As an aside, is
FWIW, although spam is already cooked, it's vastly improved by frying or barbequeing.
Lots of technically edible things are "vastly improved" by subjecting them to heat, fat, etc. Rats, for example, are vastly improved if you BBQ them. At least I assume they are... if you are going to spend time perfecting SPAM cooking techniques, you might as well spend a bit of time figuring out how to cook rats too.
Personally, I prefer to hit the meat counter at Safeway and bring home a nice thick NY strip. They
Hormel, the company behind Spam (the meat product, not the unsolicited email), is launching an advertising campaign in Europe...
I can see the marketing discussion now:
Marketer 1: "We need to get the word out about Hormel."
Marketer 2: "Hey, I know! Why don't we email millions of people and remind them about our product!"
Marketer 1: "Great idea! I've got some email addresses right here on this CD..."
Everyone knows it comes from the Spamalope.
Although, I much prefer a nice leg of Gyrobeast roasting on a spit, as found at most Mediterranean restaurants...
See also SPAM and the Internet [spam.com] for their take on UCE.
Hornel's page [spam.com] on their SPAM trademark reads very humorously to the Netizen's eye. I recommend it.
OT: I fancy marketing a delicious processed meat called SLASHDOT.
And the Kleenex people want you to stop calling tissue Kleenex and Xerox wants you to stopping calling photocopies Xeroxes and Slashdots wants the media to stop calling crackers hackers and RMS wants That Operating System called GNU/Linux...
Q: What do these all have in common?
A: Not gonna happen...
Upset? They'd go INSANE! They sell so much Spam in Hawaii (6.9 million cans a year) that there's actually competition [vh1.com] in the canned meat trade that Hormel has had to try to counter withSpecial Hawaiian Collector's Edition Spam [ananova.com].
I wonder if SpamArrest changes their name to spamArrest would Hormel drop their challenge?
It's a tough spot, though, because they've allowed some "dilution" of their name by not having defended it completely. I can't really blame them for wanting to shed the negative image of being associated with UCE, but I don't know what else they can do except give up their 60 year old name (usuall a really, really bad idea.)
I can't really blame them for wanting to shed the negative image of being associated with UCE
Put ads out with the reactions of the spammers when they get their spam back, but in the original form. Slogan could be something like "They spammed us, we SPAMMED them".
Bloody vikings!
Till now people who had no knowledge about this company will now assume this is the company that makes Meat AND also sends Spam email....
But there are other relations too!
Spam contains all the nasty bits of farm animals that no one else wanted, spam email contains all kinds of nasty bits.
You don't know the true origin of spam email or Spam meat.
Everybody says they don't like Spam, but the company still makes it - someone must buy it. No one likes spam, but it keep
Monte Python didn't make it sound good, but they made it sound as if it didn't have anything to do with email.
Their lawsuit against SpamArrest is the only time that they've done anything that even looks like they might be trying to get rid of the name. And considering they targetted one of many companies that use the name, I think it's more likely their own version of fighting against email spam. SpamArrest, prior to that la

In response to Hormel's ad campaign, grocery shoppers all over the world decided not to bother spending any money on reminding Hormel that they all thought SPAM [nutritiondata.com] was nasty crap long before they ever had E-mail addresses.

The Emergence of North and South Sudan: Reinterpreting the Politics of the Nile Valley in the Context of the Arab Revolutionary Movements
The recent protests in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have highlighted a number of issues that have been obscured by long standing orientalist and neo-liberal fallacies. Specifically, they have demonstrated the crucial importance of "bringing political economy back in" as a key framework of analysis. The conventional thesis privileging the idea of a "persistent authoritarianism" in the region has been undermined by a trans-regional civil society confronting the power of the combined forces of international capital, domestic commercial interests, and the formidable security apparatus of the state. These events have also helped to set the stage for a new pedagogical agenda in important ways. In the social sciences, scholarship that has long focused on informal institutions has often been relegated to the sidelines across the disciplines. What these protests have shown, however, is that informal networks are in fact the site of grand and revolutionary politics. More specifically, they have demonstrated that social networks and class based mobilization can indeed produce state-level outcomes of revolutionary potential.
These revolutionary movements have also reaffirmed that the locus of study and intellectual attention must be lodged at the global level. The notion that critics of neo-liberalism and economic globalization represent a small and elite centered ideological community rather than a broad based political alliance in the region has been discredited by the thousands who have taken to the streets articulating their own "lived" experience with decades of neoliberal austerity measures. In Tunisia, young men and women have rallied against an economic model that is geared exclusively to European markets and dependent on regionally based low-skilled labour in manufacturing; in Egypt, both service sector informal workers and formal labour have organized against excessive austerity measures; and in Yemen and Sudan protestors have revolted against the misuse of anti-terrorism campaigns that have been responsible for undermining the life chances and political aspirations of a cross section of social groups.
Far from a "marginal" case, the Sudan stands at the very center and not at the periphery of these historic protests. In the context of the upcoming partition of the country, and the unprecedented protests among its neighbours, the Sudanese government's failure to reform its ruling party and talk with scores of opposition groups is aggravating division and alienating marginal areas like Darfur that threatens to fragment both north and south Sudan. The ruling National Congress Party (NCP) of President Omar Beshir has not addressed the root causes of conflicts. Instead they have stifled debate about the Sudan's diversity and identity and tightened its grip on power. "Teaching Sudanese politics" must take into account these new regional and local realities. Political developments along the Nile Valley can only be understood in the context of the impact of global economic forces, the role of informal networks and the formation of identity-based politics, and the resurgence of cost of living protests ongoing in Darfur, Khartoum, al-Jizira, the Red Sea region in the north as well as in the southern provinces of the Blue Nile, Unity State, and Equatoria.

Fall from change table :(

Posted 28 April 2012 - 01:25 AM
I'm not a new member on EB but, for fear of recognition, created a new profile to post this message...
It happened around 9am Friday. I was changing my 6.5 month old DS on a change table, which is in the bathroom. He has a habit of rolling over and not letting me put his nappy on, so for the last month or so I've actually been putting his new nappy on while he's on the bed so if he rolls, he's got space to move forward without falling.
This morning, he didn't roll, and in fact was really good so I'd managed to put his nappy on without any drama. Even after his nappy was on, he just lay there on his back with his feet in his hands. So, clearly without thinking, I turned my back to go to the sink to wash my hands. I hadn't even wet my hands yet, when I heard a loud THUD. He was face down on the tiled floor.
I panicked, picked him up, he was crying, I was in shock at what had happened, I didn't cry straight away. Mum was here, she screamed at me, but DS seemed okay after crying for a couple of minutes. I can't be sure what part of his body hit the floor first, and mind you, the table is a metre high... I applied a cold wet towel to his head, because I assume he would've hit his head, but no sign of any bump. No signs of any injury to the rest of his body either.
I didn't let him sleep straight after the fall, he nursed, then played for an hour before I let him go to sleep. Meanwhile, I googled like hell for what to look out for. I know I probably should've called a doctor or taken him to hospital, but I was scared, and mum assured me he'd be fine. He woke an hour later, and was fine, his normal self. He's been his normal self all day, thank goodness. He's alert, moving, playing and eating/drinking like normal. We've also had lots of laughs throughout the day, as usual.
He's sleeping now (of course, it's the middle of the night), and hasn't woken up crying like he normally would on his own. I did wake him up before, and he fussed and cried at being made to wake up, which I was glad of. I'm anxiously waiting for morning to see how he is then. My stomach is still in knots over this incident.
I haven't told DH, and I don't plan on telling him, hence the extra precaution of anonymity. I don't need the lecture about leaving my son to fall, I didn't do it on purpose, I'm the first person to scold DH if he took an eye off DS when he's looking after him. Our relationship has been a little rocky since DS's arrival, and this would fuel bitterness that will know no end. We both love our son to bits, but his dad tends to wrap him in cotton wool...
I know from reading a million posts from other people online who've dropped their babies, and they've been fine, that babies do fall and accidents do happen. It's not like I abuse him or neglect him because I'm a drug-addicted nobody, but I feel like I am just that. I just hope I haven't caused permanent injury to my son by neglecting to put him in a safe place while I cleaned up. I feel so terrible, I've cried a few times about it throughout the day.
I couldn't sleep so wrote this message in the hopes that it would make me feel better to confess my crime, but all it's done is made me see how stupid I was.
Posted 28 April 2012 - 01:33 AM
Hey we've all done stupid things that in hindsight seem even more stupid but I for one know how you feel and I'm sure many others do also. I would probably not sleep well either and would check on bubs a couple of times in the night.
Posted 28 April 2012 - 01:39 AM
I'm sure he will be fine. You didn't do it on purpose, and I'm sure it's a mistake that you wont make again. Forgive yourself.
Just check on him through he night and if anything seems off, then take him to be seen by a doctor.
My mother told me when DD1 was a baby that she was going to fall out of her cot if I didn't get my DH to adjust the height of the matress base. I told my mum to stop being silly. It took all of 3 seconds after I said that for my DD to stand up and lean over the cot rails, and out she fell- straight on to her head. Then there was the time she rolled off my bed on to the floor, I'm sure she hit her head that time also. You are not alone. We have all done something unintentionally.
Posted 28 April 2012 - 01:40 AM
Another who knows how you feel. If you are still worried you could call your state's Health line - although they will require you to have baby awake and with you before they can make any assessments or recommendations. hugs to you, it's an awful feeling.
Posted 28 April 2012 - 06:40 AM
Don't torture yourself. Just chalk it up to experience. I fell with my son in the bathroom. I hit my head and blanked out for a second, so I had no idea what bit of him hit the floor first. I had a GP do a house call, and he told me that crying immediately and then settling to a cuddle was a great sign. Absence of vomiting also good. He told me to observe just as you have been doing.
But next time don't be scared to get a doctor. They've seen it all and won't be angry, but better safe than sorry.

I'd tell your husband, he'll be glad to know that you're not perfect either and in a few days/weeks, you will be laugh about it together

Don't beat yourself up about it. Accidents happen and your son is okay. I'll tell you what I was told by my child health nurse when I was freaking out because I had my 5 month old on my bed and she rolled off while I turned around to pick my 2 year old son up off the floor after he'd tripped over and started crying... this is just the first of many accidents she'll have in her life. Try not to over-react otherwise you'll be a basketcase by the time she's 18!!!
Posted 28 April 2012 - 08:11 AM
Awwww - you poor thing! Yoy're probably going to be more scared than he is from this experience.
Hope the pp encouraged you enough to put your mind at rest and that you got some sleep!
Posted 28 April 2012 - 08:42 AM
Don't be so hard on yourself! It happens to the best of us. You are not a bad mum!
DD3 rolled off the bed a few times when she was a baby and she was fine. And my other kids would have too but I forgotten them now. I have never taken any of my kids to the DR's after a fall because they have always been fine. But if it happens again and your worried go to the DR. They will not judge you.
You are fine, your DD is fine. You did nothing wrong and you are not a bad mum!!!!
Posted 28 April 2012 - 08:55 AM
I just wanted to give you a
I can only imagine how you must feel and am forever worried myself that DD will also fall from the change table, sofa or bed one day. Reading about others' experiences probably won't make you feel much better, but at least take comfort in knowing that it was an accident and you did not intentionally hurt him. You are still a good loving mum. Please forgive yourself.
If you are still concerned today, I would take him to a doctor for a checkup.
Posted 28 April 2012 - 11:46 AM
Thanks for all the supportive words, ladies. It hasn't diminished the fact that what I did was extremely foolish and stupid, but I've taken some comfort in knowing that it could've happened even if I was watching him the whole time.
I'm glad to report that we got through the night, and there are no outward signs that he suffered any permanent injury at this point in time. I will, of course, be vigilant to any changes in his behaviour that would suggest otherwise.
Posted 28 April 2012 - 11:53 AM
Don't be so hard on yourself!
When DD was about 9/10 months old I was breastfeeding her in bed and dozed off only to be awoken by a loud thud as she rolled off the bed!
Glad your DS is ok

I'd get her checked out. My nephew fractured his skull from rolling off his change table at about 8months.
Don't beat yourself up, these things happen. As much as you 'should' be doing the right thing all the time we are all guilty of doing the 'wrong' thing at times. My DD1 rolled off the bed once when I was brushing my teeth- I have no idea how she managed to get to the edge of the king size bed from the middle- I didn't even realise she could roll!!

I'd also tell your husband. I wouldn't want DH to feel he needed to keep something like that a secret from me if it were the other way around. Chances are he will be reassuring and help ease your guilt.
I haven't had DS fall off the change table but I did let him faceplant into the edge of your cot when he was on it - that was awful. He also stood up when on the couch one day and ran, toppling face first off the edge. It is the most horrible, scariest thing when these things happen and the guilt is awful. All you can do though is learn from your mistakes and be more careful next time.
I think it's sad that you felt the need to go anon for this. I'm sure all parents have shared a similar experience at one time or another.
I hope you are feeling a bit better now and your little one is okay.
Posted 28 April 2012 - 12:04 PM
I doubt there is parent alive who has not ' taken their eye of the ball' momentarily and had something like this happen.
It doesn't make you feel better knowing you aren't alone and it doesn't stop you thinking 'what if' but it does sound like he is fine.
I have done something awful to my son, my fault completely allowing him to climb onto a bar stool at age 13 months. He got to the top and as I walked over to get him he fell and I grabbed the first body part I could which happened to be his ankle and I broke a bone in it.
I was embarrassed to tell the doctor and was guilt ridden to tell DH that I really was at fault. It certainly made me more vigilant from then on in.
The little plaster cast is in his little box of memories and he now has great pleasure telling people that "mum broke my leg"
Go easy on yourself and just watch him like you have been and take him to the ER if there are any changes in his behaviour.
Good luck

DD1 rolled off the bed at 7 months - I was terrified
I would still take him to the GP tbh. I am haunted by a friend's sister whose son at 6 months fell off the change table and became blind and never ended up being able to walk or talk Its incredibly sad and I don't tell you to make you feel bad but to remind us all that there can be very serious consequences.
Posted 28 April 2012 - 12:42 PM
Hi OP,
I had a similar thing happen when my DD was 9 months old. I had her sitting up on the change table and I turned my head for a split second to get some clothes from her wardrobe (didn't have to move far to get them) and she tumbled off and landed head first on our hard floor. She narrowly missed the corner of a table and the thud was horrendous!!
It was the worst feeling in the world. We did take her straight to hospital though where they monitored her for 4 hours for any head injury but luckily she was all good.
I did tell my husband- I rang him as soon as it happened as he was at work and I think you should tell your DH too OP. It was an honest mistake and one you probably wont ever do again . You are only human and it happens to the best of us.
Don't beat yourself up over it though, what is done is done and you have learnt from this so that is good enough .
Don't worry what your DH will think or say, because one day he may find himself in the same situation, heaven forbid!
Nobody is perfect!

Try as I may, I have not been able to find the courage to fess up to DH. It's been eating me up inside, knowing I let this happen to my perfect little boy. A few weeks ago, DS had rolled over on the 5cm thick foam mattress on the floor (his play mat), landing head on top of a hard plastic toy. He screamed and cried, and DH hasn't let me forget that, because I was watching him play. I can't imagine what he would do if he knew that DS fell off the change table while I was supposed to be watching him... I don't know, I want to tell him, but I also don't want to tell him...

At 18 months I rolled of an 8foot balcony onto gravel cause my dad was not paying attenion and I was ok
My mum was hanging washing on the line at the time and saw me fall she ran over to try catch me
Posted 28 April 2012 - 09:43 PM
The most concerning thing about this is that you won't tell your DH. Imagine the shoe on the other foot and he held this back from you.
I'm not saying that in the context of how big a deal it is and he deserves to know, but surely in the normal course of conversation about your day it would come up?
Edited by Vickery, 28 April 2012 - 09:45 PM.
Posted 28 April 2012 - 09:44 PM
It's about that stage that I start changing them on the floor. No place to fall from there.
Poor you. Kids climb, they trip, they misjudge, they drive fast, they get away with so much potential disaster that it's amazing any of us parents retain our sanity.
I would be scared to tell your DH too, it doesn't sound like he's had a similar experience yet. But he will.

You know the saying "you don't know how to ride a horse until you have lost count of the times you have fallen off"
I am sure there is a similar saying for motherhood and children's injuries...
I once had a marketing lecturer who said that there is always 2 reasons to do something - the "right" reason and the real reason.
One of the reasons why I have never had a change table is because I was scared the baby would fall (another reason is the bed, floor or lap has always perfectly fine for my purposes)
I do think, however, from your story and comments that you and your husband need to cut each other (or at least him toward you) a little slack in what will happen without hypervigilence.
Good luck.
Posted 28 April 2012 - 09:50 PM
Ive done the same thing...
At 7 months DS rolled off our bed onto the floorboards, I felt awful but he cried when I picked him up then he started to laugh once I sang to him so i figured he was ok.... I called DH right away and he was fine, it couldve happened to him anytime too...
Then at 9 months DS rolled head first off the change table onto the floorboards but he did land on the spongy bubba mat which softened the fall but again I felt like such an idiot!!! Again he was fine and Ive learnt my lesson now that he is a wriggly one that I must watch at all times.....
Dont beat yourslef up about it, theyre going to have more spills and falls as they get older...
Posted 28 April 2012 - 09:55 PM
Calm down woman!! He is okay!
He cried straight away so thats a good sign, and no concussion symptoms. Take a chill pill.
Posted 28 April 2012 - 10:11 PM
I understand your upset but you are far from the first and far from the last, to have this happen. 3 cubs and mums in my mothers group have had the same thing and the ONLY reason it hasn't happened to me is because we use a mat on the spare bed.
I agree with the PP's comment about "you don't know how to ride a horse until you have lost count of the times you have fallen off". I used to jump a mile when my son fell when he first started walking, with time you learn that falling is a part of learning, just check on them and try to stop it happening again (which you often can't).
As long as you have learnt a lesson from it and he is ok, DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP!
