I fall down - go Boom!

The horse that I rescued rolled over on me all the time until I fell getting off during a roll and landed on his stomach. I came down hard and knocked the wind out of him, at first I thought I had killed him because he just laid there rolling his eyes and trying to breath. Scared the heck out of me and him but he never rolled over on me, however other people were fair game as far as he was concerned.

This was a stable horse at the stable I rode at. I don't know that Marsidotes (mare's eat oats) ever rolled on any one else, but she did it on me....

Not just clean, but still in its tub from the store! LOL Wow, off an ladder & on your feet! That's pretty good. I had a horse lay down & roll in the mud, but I just stepped off her & ended up on my feet, in the mud, but atleast not under her in the mud.... My roomie, who is visually impaired, fell in one apartment complex's pool so many times, he had to put a safety fence around it - tho he might've had to do it for insurance purposes anyway.... Ohhh... oranges in the back yard... yummmm

LOL. Them dang kitties, LOL. I'm glad you haven't broken any bones. That is one good thing for sure. I hope you recover well and quickly.

only have broken a few small bones - mostly I've just pulled or sprained things.

They do seem to come a lot when they start. My last big fall was last year - actually tore the top of my shoe with it! I have to say that I don't seem to break things when I fall - that's in the job discription of the cats!

its not that I fall all that often, just that when I do, I fall HARD!

Well then....that's my husband and the only difference is that he falls down often too!

I wasn't holding the phone - I have a pouch I wear around my neck that holds it. I also got a hard shell to put it in a couple of weeks ago to help. I really was trying to save myself, grabbed the other tub, but it tipped....

well, I fell outside so the only thing that got messed up was knocking over the litter bucket and it was still sealed shut probably should get ice on my elbow - it hurts the worse, but - how & still use my computer!?!?

That's sweet of ya, but I only fall about once a year, if that often (tho I tried to fall 2 more times yesterday after the big fall on Sat.)

I have only broken my nose once, and all the bones in my feet at different times. I have a thing for stepping on stuff but I can't stand shoes and socks so I am barefoot almost all the time even in the winter it makes for cold feet a lot. When I lived in Alberta I would go out without shoes on in -40 but I was only going from the house to the car or the back gate to put the dogs out (who had little booties to protect their toes from frost bite). I love to trip on my cats, about a month ago I tripped on Alex on the stairs and fell with the baby I really got hurt then because all my energy went to making sure the baby was safe, I hit my head bruised my backside from my lower back to my knees and jammed an ankle on the wall at the bottom. So much fun being a klutz. It seems my oldest is taking after me, he falls down all the time.

Those nails can be deadly. Once when I was a machinist I got steel shavings in my eyes and that was not fun getting it removed. The Dr's used a tiny yet strong magnet against the eye. I could feel my eye popping out towards the magnet as the steel was pulled free. OWIEEEE! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

YIKES!!! I got a nail in my foot at 6, rammed my head into one AT the riding stable at 12 and got a tack in my foot about that age too. Gee, I wonder why I don't go barefoot.... I'm pretty good about avoid OBVIOUS obstacles, I've even been known to work my way to the edge of a 300 foot cliff & look over - much to my mom's discomfort. Its the common things that catch me. The absolute worse injuries have been a dislocated wrist while playing with some neighborhood kids, a broken bone in my foot from playing basketball in high school and a badly sprained ankle when I stepped on a bolt in an old concrete slab. The last time I could've been badly injured, I managed to land on the ONLY spot of leaves off the slab that didn't have rocks all in it & it was only big enough for me to land in a cross-legged style, that I did do. Other than that, I've missed the edge of the sidewalk, caught the top of my foot on the screen door, tripped over a box & just lost my balance. I always go down liked a felled tree, full on my chest (I pull my head back to keep from landing on my nose....)

Well, the litter boxes are either in the cat room or in what should be my closet in my bedroom. I have only tripped over them about twice, and that was when I had already challenged my balance with the freezer.... Nope, this was a full, clean, unopend bucket of litter, outside, but beside the car.... I saw it perfectly well, just managed to not get my foot up high enough to step over it. Actually, I had hoped to shove it with my foot but it didn't shove.....

OUCH!!! I'm glad you weren't any more hurt. If its any consolation, I was just getting INTO the tum once & ended up with a broken toe!

My cats are inside cats, so while they might WANT to take those few steps, they are not allowed. They would get fish out of the kitchen if they had opposible thumbs, they sit next to the food bowl or can of food & let us know that its our job to open them! Happily, I wasn't hurt, even the elbow that hurt for awhile, has stopped. So I guess that's my fall for the season.... I hope.

I am so firmly over my feet that when I go down, there's no point in trying too hard to save myself. I'm never moving fast, so when I go down, my feet are the first thing to go out from under me & there's no getting them back! The time I fell over the box, I was carring a heavy bowl (corell or whatever the name is - you can back or microwave in them) and an empty large plastic drinking "glass." I didn't want to land on them so I threw them up in the air to get them out of my way (the glass wouldn't have been so bad to get out of the way, but the bowl was another matter.) After I landed I covered up my head & waited for them to land on me, knowing that bowl was going to HURT when it hit, but it missed me by several feet! Didn't even break! Jarred my back, but other than that I didn't do too badly.

Catching clothes on door... I do it all the time!!!
