Re: Fell yesterday- ugh :(

Hi ,

I'm sorry you fell and hurt your knee but I'm also glad that's all that got

hurt. I am always so afraid of falling, tripping, missing a step, my back just

can't take it.

I remember falling once while we were living in Italy. I was getting up off

the toilet, turned and must have gotten up too fast. I fell head first into one

of those old fashioned metal radiators. I must have passed out, my first memory

was being on the stairs calling for help.

My husband came and got me and when he got me into the bedroom and looked at

my head, I had a golfball in the middle of my forhead. I had a concussion and

vomitted all night. Went to the hospital the next day, they did a CT and I was

okay...just embarassed w/a black, blue,and purlpe, golfball on my forehead! I

still have a crevice on my forehead where it hit. Luckily I didn't hurt my back

but at that time my back was not as bad off as it is now.

Hope you're better and taking good care of yourself...take it easy for a

while!

It always seems like something gets in the way of me being online and

always

catching up on emails. Yesterday i dont even know exactly how it happened

cause i either blacked out or passed out. I tripped on my carpet going into

kitchen where the counter/kitchen bar area is. i think i knocked my head and

then all i remember is waking up on floor and not knowing what happend. Then

i flt a pop or something with my knee how i landed and started screaming.

Poor dennis .....he didnt know what to do or what happened. he helped me on

couch, gave me my breakthru hydrodone and i was on couch all day and night.

I felt bad to begin with cause my knee hurt over wknd from keeping busy and

then i got my 'friend'' that i get each month.

i am getting so aggrivated living like this and guess i just needed to come

on here and yell for a few mins lol.

im hoping i start to feel better today so i can move around a bit more.

Hope you are doing ok and ill be catching up on emails:)

gonna go take a hot shower and be back on later.

Hello ,

I'm sorry to hear you got hurt. It's like adding insult to injury

to get hurt when you are already in pain. Sorry I haven't been on in

a while. I've been over doing it a bit I think. By the time my wife

gets home and I've cooked supper and done homework with the boys all

I want to do is curl up next to her on the sofa and try to ignore my

body pain. I've had to do more manual labor this past week, and it's

also mentally exhausting. I do my best to tune out the pain while

I'm working and try real hard not to be grumpy with my family.

Surprisingly my kids help me with that since I have to get out of

myself and concentrate on their needs first. I've said this before,

but it's a good tool for me to read and write on this site. Every

time I come here I feel for someone else, and have to consider what

someone else's personal pain must be like. It really helps me keep

things in perspective. I think I've adjusted pretty well to having

limitations but it's still real frustrating when I'm under the gun to

get things done and I can't perform as I used to because of pain and

physical limitations. I hope everyone has a tolerable day. I think

every one here is tough as nails. Despite what people who don't hurt

might think, we who deal with pain every day and still suit up and

show up should be proud of ourselves and of one another. It takes a

positive attitude and a lot of personal fortitude to live as we do

and still wear a smile. So give yourselves a pat on the back, we all

deserve it.
