I'm Sorry, I'm Hurt, I'm an Idiot! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. byfaithonly (6279)   ranked 39 out of 37,571 in life5 months ago

I'm sorry to all the people who responded to my discussion yesterday that I haven't commented back - I'm not ignoring you just...

I'm hurt! Was going to lunch yesterday and tripped just outside of work. Tore up both knees, elbows, and really messed up my left wrist... My whole body hurts now, having trouble walking, and typing pretty much one handed:( Went to work today but was the longest 10 hours of my life.

I'm an idiot! Ok at least feel like one - 54 years old and don't know how to walk worst is of course when you do something stupid or embarassing there are a million people watching. Yep at least half-a-million people standing around outside when I hit the pavement.

So, prayers, well wishes, or laugh at/with me all are appreciated may be a few days before I can respond but will read all - hugs and love to my friends and fellow mylotters,

LOL--We're both sort of the walking wounded here...with all the dampness and rain we've been having here it's been doing a real number on my joints and often painful for me to walk..crap, feel like 150 years old...then I too still have my strained wrist problem (right hand)--so yes a LOT of fun trying to type...NOTsad
Did anyone try to help you up from your fall?
Many years ago, I too, took a really bad tumble...right in the middle of the street---the light was changing and I had visions of cars running over me...NO ONE HELPED me get up and there was some putz looking directly at me on the street but did he offer to help me...nooooooo--I finally managed to get up before any cars DID come crashing into me

Get this one almost all the people standing around were nurses aids on break from a training class - out of the bunch 2 guys came and helped me. One was just the sweetest young man. After helping me up and collecting my shoe (lost one in the fall) and purse he asked where I was going. Told him I was going to my van to set and read on my lunch. This sweetheart took my arm and walked me out to my van...

I at least was on the sidewalk that must have been horrid being in the road like you were - really teed me off today, in pain, at work, neither of my managers asked how I was doing or anything...

Aww, sorry to hear that. Hope all the bones and whatnot are still in the right places. And I do hope that people came to help you. This too shall pass, my friend. sad


myLot reputation of 98/100. byfaithonly (6279)   ranked 39 out of 37,571 in life  5 months ago

Actually there were 3 who didn't just stand and look - one lady asked if I was ok, two young men helped me up and one of them insisted on helping me walk to my car where I was headed. I was very impressed he was genuinly concerned and went out of his way to help.


myLot reputation of 98/100. gtargirl (1242)   ranked 387 out of 37,571 in life  5 months ago

That is so good to hear. Now, I just pray that the healing will be quick.

Faith, I am the same age as you, and I'm beginning to wonder if stupid falls are just a part of our age. I fell twice this last fall, doing the same dumb thing twice. Luckily, it was in my own home so I didn't have a million people watching me; but that doesn't make it any less dumb.

I have a baby gate up to keep the dogs off the carpet (one thinks it is grass to pee and poo on). Well, I'm too lazy to open the gate a thousand times a day, so I step over it. Once my shoelace caught on it and BANG! I fell flat on my entire front side.

Another time, I was actually opening the dang thing like I should, and I don't know exactly what happened, but it sort of hung up somehow, and I was walking and when it got stuck, BOOM! - my boob was scraped up pretty badly by the gate and I was hung up on it on a rib -- and I was naked after my bath! My eight-year-old got a nice back view of me stuck on there and had to peel me off the gate! Ha, ha!

Anyway, don't respond. Rest your wrist and knees and such.


myLot reputation of 98/100. byfaithonly (6279)   ranked 39 out of 37,571 in life  5 months ago

Oh my goodness - I've tripped over baby gate I had up for grandkids same thing, stepping over it and my back foot caught the gate. I however was not 'naked' too funny, hope you know I'm laughing with you not at you:)

myLot reputation of 98/100. byfaithonly (6279)   ranked 39 out of 37,571 in life  5 months ago

Oh no once a week is not good:( I do tend to be extremely careful because they say as you get older your bones break easier and I don't have health insurance - doesn't always work though but am very lucky as hard as I hit nothing was broken.


myLot reputation of 98/100. byfaithonly (6279)   ranked 39 out of 37,571 in life  5 months ago

forgot to add thank you so very much for your prayers. I am feeling less pain this evening but looking forward to the weekend when I can really rest.


myLot reputation of 87/100. sjvenden27 (545)   ranked 532 out of 37,571 in life  5 months ago

Oh no worries:-) I am use to falling.. See one of my hips is higher then the other, which makes one leg longer then the other.. I can fall on air...lol I am glad to hear that you are feeling a little better and its not long before the weekend...

Not trying to be rude or nothing but by the time I am your age I will probably be wheel chair bound.. Just something that I have to look forward to I guess... no really but have to make light of it for the moment... There is some days that I wish I would have grabbed my boyfriends cane.. But that would be a funny site..trying to walk with a cane...lol thumbup you be better in no timelol

Oh! So sorry to hear about your injury.
Not stupid. Stuff like that happens to everyone.

Hubby took a bad fall about a year ago off the edge
of the sidewalk and hasn't been the same ever since.

We thought it was just a simple fall but I think he broke
a small bone in his foot and it was never diagnosed.

Just one of those things.

You feel fine after a few days but then the real
symptoms set in.

Be well!


myLot reputation of 98/100. byfaithonly (6279)   ranked 39 out of 37,571 in life  5 months ago

Oh sorry to hear about your husband. I don't think I broke anything but very true as much as I hurt the day it happened it was twice as bad the next day - not just where I hit but my whole body hurts.

Oh, it sucks to fall!!! I fell once, and cracked my tailbone. My husband fell on Christmas eve, and broke his wrist and a few ribs, and Vice Vukov, my favourite Croatian singer, fell down the steps of the Croatian parliament in 2005, and hit his head, hard enough to put him in a perminent vegetative state for the rest of his life (he died in September 2008. So no matter how you fall, IT SUCKS to fall, and it's a shame you did. I can understand it must be painful. After 15 years, my tailbone STILL hurts!


myLot reputation of 98/100. byfaithonly (6279)   ranked 39 out of 37,571 in life  5 months ago

Oh goodness I certainly hope I don't still hurt in 15 years, do think it's a little better today but typing slow, avoiding stairs, and moving all together 'slow':( I'm usually the one going 100 miles an hour non-stop:(

Dear byfaithonly,
I am sorry to learn that u hurt yourself .I never laugh at any person when one is hurt by falling or hitting! I pray that u heal fast and be active.I am 60 years old but as young as I feel! I am a housewife not working,I want to do some job but I fear I can not cope with it,so I am here in mylot! I have to look after my house when all are going out to work .If I go for a work there will be a mess of everything! I pray to Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and doing japa on beads.I am very perfectly and honestly doing the daily duties and try to help the members of my family!


myLot reputation of 98/100. byfaithonly (6279)   ranked 39 out of 37,571 in life  5 months ago

Sometimes doing daily duties for the family is the most difficult job there is - I know, raised 4 kids most of the time alone. Agree your as young as you feel and although a few days ago I didn't feel anywere's near 54 yesterday I felt 100, today down to 80:)
