I'm Sorry, I'm Hurt, I'm an Idiot!  |
|
 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,

11.  gabs8513 (19617) | 6 months ago |  Awwww Sweet I am so sorry, I hope you are ok, I know how you are feeling as I did this a couple weeks ago, but I have to say, I did not have a load of People watching, the Streets where empty as there was a Thunderstorm that just started and I got caught in it tried to rush Home and well hit the Street
Please just take care and get better if you have antiseptic Cream put that on the wounds about twice a Day as for the aches and pains move as much as you can so you do not stiffen more
Big warm Hugs to you

 byfaithonly (6302) | 6 months ago | LOL - Neosporine - kids grew up thinking that fixed anything, when #2 son broke his arm got home from hospital and said, "Mom I don't think neosporine will fix this." I laughed and said you may be right but I'm putting some on those stitches in your head:)
Doing it 3-4 times a day:) also trying to move my leg regularly even though it hurts so it won't stiffen up on me - doesn't always work at work but try. | |

| 12. jerzgirl (2756) | 6 months ago |  Oh, ouch!! I can so totally relate to that. A year ago this past January, I fell off some front steps where I was picking up a crockpot. I slammed down onto the concrete, the crockpot hit the frozen grass and the glass lid bounced to a stop in front of me. No dents or cracks on the crockpot, but I ended up with a broken ankle - that wasn't verified until THIS year because last year the orthopedist said the xray technician was wrong and it wasn't broken. So, I've walked on a broken ankle for over a year. I also fell in the St. Louis airport and in Munich Germany where I felt so stupid and so very very visible. And, everything does hurt for quite a while afterwards!! I'm the same age as you, so I understand just how things you never thought twice about before suddenly become noticeable when under physical duress!! OUCH!!

| byfaithonly (6302) | 6 months ago | That is horrible that doctor put you through that - and of course it had healed badly after all that time I'll bet. Yep, airport would be pretty bad but then what are the chances you'd see those people again - last 2 days every time I leave the building I know some of those people are ones that saw me fall - don't want to look anyone in the face. | |
|
|
| jerzgirl (2756) | 6 months ago | That is true - and I admit, I hadn't viewed it from that perspective. Only from the immediate humiliation I felt at the time. | |

| 14. divkris (782) | 6 months ago |  hey sorry to know that you are badly hurt, but don't worry you're wounds will heal fast (if you are not diabetic - LOL).
Don't really blame yourself for the incident - whatever happens is for good - so the next time you take a walk on the road you'll be careful not to hurt yourself and also not to stare at someone who has actually tripped!
Take care and get well soon.:)

| byfaithonly (6302) | 6 months ago | Afraid that's one thing that really upset me - I am one of those that if I see someone hurt or in need doesn't matter what is going on I'm there to help however I can. Most of these people were in training to be nurses aids and I think that's horrid - they should be the most helpful, doesn't say much for the future of nurses aids in our area. | |

| byfaithonly (6302) | 6 months ago | LOL - I love it "moments of unwanted fame", I am going to remember that one:) Actually I am feeling a little better today, knee that was injured the worst is still stiff but I'm not in tears every time I take a step as I was yesterday. Wrist still hurts but haven't really been able to rest it at work - on computer non-stop and 10 hour days. Typing little tonight but taking break in between responses, sentences, ok sometimes words:) | |

| 18. stephcjh (22847) | 6 months ago |  I sure hope that you are healing well now. I got hurt the other day too. I got out of the shower and tried to get to my bedroom to get some clothes. The dog would not move, of course, so I went to step over him and he moved at the same time. I tried avoid falling in the floor or actually stepping on him and cracked my knee real hard on the corner of the bathroom door. I went to the floor anyway in severe pain. I can barely walk or bend my knee now.

| 19. arkaf61 (5728) | 6 months ago |  Never and idiot, my friend:)
Hope it feels better now and that all is in one piece.Everyone has his/her share of falling to do both in life and literally:)
I bet there wasn't even one person in the zillion of people that noticed your fall, that hasn't fallen quite a few times as well and often in a very silly way.
Big hug to you and wishes that nothing hurts anymore.

| 20. carolbee (6747) | 6 months ago |  Take care of yourself. As we get a little older, falls really hurt. Takes longer to heal also. I am older than you so I can justify this statement..lol
Feel better soon,
carolbee

|
| byfaithonly (6302) | 6 months ago | OH I am finding that out - has been six days now and although each day I felt a little better today is actually the first day I haven't been in 'pain'. Skinned knee still sore but healing and can actually walk without ending in tears. | |
