Or in other words, I bit the dirt. I was not paying attention, stepped wrong off a curb, and crashed to the parking lot. Downtown. Have you ever done anything so embarrassing? Isn't my knee gorgeous?


This is what my leg looks like.

Gery I am a klutz, I am just getting over a broken little toe that I hurt kicking the end of my grand daughters bed. I know that is not as embarrassing as doing it in full view of down town traffic, but just letting you know I am capable of it... I bet you are going to be sore tomorrow hun. Take care of it, maybe some ice packs would help.


myLot reputation of 99/100. GardenGerty (35328)   ranked 1 out of 304 in walking  4 years ago

Took some Aleve. Body is better this morning. I am glad, as I have to work all day today.


myLot reputation of 86/100. razcal2267 (9670)  4 years ago

Nana you are less of a klutz then I am. I broke my toe walking out of the bathroom and slamming my it against the door. If that wasn't bad enough a few months later I did the same thing only I got two toes instead of one.

Gerty I am so glad you are feeling better....

Raz hon I know that hurts, I so feel your pain. When I kicked mine I was holding my foot and cussing like a sailor....Then my foot went numb! LMAO black purple and blue, bottom and top. I am walking on it pretty good again.


myLot reputation of 86/100. razcal2267 (9670)  4 years ago

Ouch!! I am sure you could make a sailor or two blush.

Been there done that. Sad when you have to call into work and tell them you can not come in because you can not put a shoe on

Ouch! I remember once I was visiting my sister when I was a kid and we were walking somewhere. I stopped to tie my shoe and then started to run to catch up with them. I tripped and fell forward. I kissed the pavement with my chin. Big ole scuff mark all the way across my chin. Hurt like crazy!

Oh my !! that sounds horrible . and something like that has happened to me . Hitting your face on the ground is one of the worse falls , but usually i will fall on my ankle or bum , im famous for that.


myLot reputation of 99/100. GardenGerty (35328)   ranked 1 out of 304 in walking  4 years ago

I am very glad it was not my face.

Well, it probably IS georgous, just not today! I have done stuff like that plenty of times... I'm very uncoordinated sometimes. Keep it clean so it doesn't get infected!


myLot reputation of 99/100. GardenGerty (35328)   ranked 1 out of 304 in walking  4 years ago

Sure will keep it clean. Using some herbal remedies as well.

Ouch!!!!, I feel a few months ago on the sidewalk. I hit a patch of ice and down I went hard. My knees hurt for a long time. The one knee still hurts and is been about 5 months now. I don't have any medical insurance so I keep hoping that it quits hurting soon. I am glad it wasn't worse then that and no broken bones.


myLot reputation of 99/100. GardenGerty (35328)   ranked 1 out of 304 in walking  4 years ago

I have nice strong bonesw00tand I already took two Aleve, getting ready for bed.thumbupIt could have been a whole lot worse.happy At least I get a discussion out of it.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Polly1 (9354)   ranked 29 out of 304 in walking  4 years ago

Yea, you got a discussion out of it, sympathy and also a few pennies, I hope it doesn't ache too much in the morning.

I seem to be good to go today.

Ekk...that's a "beauty" Did you put anything on it so it won't get infected...like good ole Peroxide...I know stings like a "b" but that's what my great-grandmother swore by.
Oh I have a real winner of a story...It was maybe 6 or 7 o'clock on Christmas Evening...there are a few supermarkets near me that believe it or not were/are still open near me on Christmas..though do close earlier than their usual ten. I had to get some last minute things and took my shopping wagon as I had to get a few heavy things..like believe it or not a twenty pound bag of litter...like geez, heaven forbid my cats went without litter on Christmas. Okay now I'm on my way back...loaded down with this stuff in my shopping wagon..they had been doing some breaking up of the main street and had put one of those metal slabs over the broken up part of the street...I'm crossing, hurrying to get to the other side, when my wagon hits the slab...and fell over and landed on top of the wagon that kind of capsized on me..I was in a LOT of pain as my one leg hit against the wagon full impact...but here I am sprawled on the street...and the light is changing and I'm envisioning being run over by cars...what pissed me off was NO ONE tried to help me get up, and there were people around...I did manage to hoist myself up at last, and thankfully I guess the folks in the cars saw that a person..me...had been lying on the street and didn't move until I was up and out of the way..to this day I'm so ticked that no one tried to help me up though or ask if I were okay...uh, NO I wasn't okay!angry


myLot reputation of 99/100. GardenGerty (35328)   ranked 1 out of 304 in walking  4 years ago

I saw a video like that, with a motorcycle accident and no one helping. sadIt is amazing how we lack compassion anymore. Or we all assume someone else will do it.glare I guess you will not forget the litter on a holiday again. Did you break anything, it sounds awful.shocked


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (12221)   ranked 58 out of 304 in walking  4 years ago

Nope thankfully I didn't break anything...must have strong bones...LOL..I didn't even bruise for some reason..but it sure hurt like hell for a long time

Ouch, I hope you are okay. blink

Yes, I've done something embarrassing like this before, but instead of it being my knee it was my head. blink While I was outside with my kids I grabbed a chair and sat underneath my apricot tree. There had been some tree people next door at my neighbor's house trimming her trees. So I watched a little of what was going on. I decided to stand up and as I did so I hit a rather big limb that was right above me. WHACK! Right on the top of my head! I had forgotten all about the limb being right above me. I have no doubt at least a worker or 2 saw what happened, even though they didn't say anything to me about it. Oh well, that's what I get for not paying attention to what I was doing. doh


myLot reputation of 99/100. GardenGerty (35328)   ranked 1 out of 304 in walking  4 years ago

That does hurt. I am guilty of tangling with branches in my yard as well, but not when people are looking.

That looks quite painful, do make sure to keep it cleaned so you don't get an infection in it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. GardenGerty (35328)   ranked 1 out of 304 in walking  4 years ago

I am using a medicated, home made wipe that has tea tree and lavender for disinfectant. Luckily it looks worse than it is.

Ouch that looks like it hurts! I've done things like walk right into the telephone poles because I cant walk and talk at the same time it seems. I've fallen off sidewalks. I'm generally a klutz.

Oh my that looks horrible , I hope it feels better soon. I always seem to fall and hurt myself atleast a few times a year. I was at last years 4th of july fireworks , and i was in a hurry and missed the curb. My ankle went right under me and i had this huge bruise and was limping around for a week or so. I felt so silly after it happened.


myLot reputation of 99/100. GardenGerty (35328)   ranked 1 out of 304 in walking  4 years ago

That sounds like what I did, but I did not seem to get a big bruise, and I do not have a limp.I am going to have to see if I bruised my hip, I think it took some impact.

Omg, just gorgeous! I have a scar on my wrist from one time years back when hubby told me not to carry a heavy box and I was annoyed and picked it up and turned around as I was carting it off to say, "I can do it myself" and that is when my foot caught in a crack on the curb and down I went with the box on top of me. In the same fall, I also chipped off part of my chin bone, but that one did not leave a scar, it just took about 6 months before the little loose piece of bone fully dissolved. Hubby was a brat and said it served me right. I hope you are not too sore tomorrow!


myLot reputation of 99/100. GardenGerty (35328)   ranked 1 out of 304 in walking  4 years ago

I can identify with it. I think yours tops mine. To my knowledge I have never chipped a bone.
