Do you believe there's any truth to the saying "It always happens in three's ?" I guess I do now. April 5th I thought I was having another heart attack and my husband drove me to the nearest hospital and lucky enough it was just angina. April 6 I was doing some crocheting and I was at the point of needing to do the darning. My needle got caught in the yarn and I pulled the needle with my teeth. Lovely I pulled my front tooth out of my false plate. Monday next day I took the plate and the tooth to be put back on, that cost me 65.00. April 8 I fell and dislocated my elbow and maybe broke the arm. I'll know Monday when I'm checked to see if I need surgery. Surgery is a huge phobia I have so prayers please that I won't need surgery. Thank You. I just feel like I'm an accident waiting for a place to happen. hehehe. Got to go my one hand is going to sleep again.

Ahh, you poor thing. I will say a special prayer for you. Surgery scares the heck out of me too. I dislocated my wrist in a car wreck. I ended up having to have surgery on that. It was so scary facing surgery. I truly am glad that you didn't have a heart attack. It does seem that things come in 3's so that would mean you are done with the bad luck. Things should start looking up for you. Good luck lets us know how th doc visit goes. 2 people like this

I have had some days similar to yours and it always happened in threes One day I overslept thing one, then called a cab and went to lock up the apt. and couldnt find mykeys,but finally found them,so get the bus and have a great night out with friends. my best friend then drove me home. WE were really late. no. three thedoor was locked with both lovks and I did not have a key for the bottom one.I pounded on the front door as I could see mysons' bike so knew he was home finally the lady next door said I'll go around to his windwo for you and let him know you are locked out.so finally got in and was so glad as I was tired and cold.

Unfortunately even though I am not a superstitious person, the everything goes in three's seem to happen but I hope it doesn't happen in your case.
I hate win bad things happen all at once like that. Also they say that anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
And my friend always used to say if it wasn't for bad luck she would have no luck at all.

Oh I'm so sorry about what happened to you. I do hope you get better. Please do be careful at what you are doing. Don't rush into things..Take a rest and relax.. You need that..Be well soon..By the way, there's is a truth behind that saying but only when you do bad or good things it comes back to you in three folds. I don't see you doing any harm you just need to have a time off of things thats all.

I believe in the saying everything happens in 3's, as it always seems to happen that way. I hope you will not have to have surgery, but if you do the 3's will be over with and I'm sure everything will be fine. And don't feel bad about having a phobia of surgery, I have one of dentists myself.

Glad you didn't have a heart attack although angina sounds scary enough to me.
Please don't ever use your teeth, even false ones for anything except chewing food.
I'm sorry about your elbow. I hope you won't need surgery and that you're OK. Dislocated elbow, man that sounds painful. Take care and I pray you get well soon (and my Doctor used to say I needed to live in a rubber room, just kidding, smile).

You had better hope it stops at three, otherwise you will likely have six or nine bad days. Things used to happen to my house that way, so I know how you feel.

I think there is a good possibility of it. I have seen it happen myself. I think it is mainly a superstition though and it just happens that way sometimes.

grandma,
you have had your share of burdens lately, haven't you?
I think that so long as we live in this world bad things are prone to and will happen -
whether or not it is in groups of threes depends on when you choose to start and stop the counting.
:) if the saying was fours - one would stop counting at four and say YEP! it is TRUE! they always come in fours.
I think by the same token that good things also happen continually, sometimes it is just more subtle and we do not notice them.
Thanks be to God that you did not get run over when you fell and injured your arm!

It sounds like you have had a crazy few days. I will definitely say a prayer for you. I know how scary surgery can be and if it's not needed that will be a blessing! Keep us posted!

My goodness you are in the wars right now! I am sorry to hear of your run of bad luck, but I am a big believer in "it comes in threes" so lets hope that for you the run of bad luck is over! I will definately think positive for you and hope that you do not have to have surgery, and I hope it all goes ok for you, it must hurt though, I remember when I fractured my wrist and that was bad enough! Take care......Please!!!

I do believe they happen in threes and more. Some times when these things happen it leaves one in a daze. You cant help but wonder if its all really true. If I can remember it correctly, there is a saying that "trouble never sets like rain." You just never know when its going to happen and which angle its going to come from.
Sorry to hear of your distress and I will indeed say a prayer for you. I know about the fear of surgery even though I have never done one. I dont want to ever have to do one (lol).

I have never heard of that before, but to answer the question, no.
