Re: Re: sniffling i had a baddddd fall tonite

[Guest guest]

hi joan,

yeah i have always been sensitive to peoples negativity towards me, and

espeically when i am not feeling well anyway,  that makes me easily hurt and

yes, i was stressing yesterday big time,

when i do get emotional whether up. down, happy sad, angry depressed my lbd

kicks in more and tehn i have to be more careful and i make sure i dont drive at

all, stress is definitely a has a negative definite impact on my lbd issues, my

vocabulary and usage of words gets worser, i have a tendency to have diffiuclty

swallowing and i ahve to concentrate on swallowing, and i fall more.  so donnie

and my friends all try to keep me from getting overly stressed out, even kenneth

avoids getting on my nerves on my bad days.

well i just got to let negativity flow off of me, i am trying but not easy habit

to master,  

thanks for your concern joan, hugs to you   sharon

Hi Sharon,

Oh...my..... I am so sorry that you have fallen and seemed to have injured

yourself pretty badly.

Did you just fall for no reason...you said that the last time you were all upset

and emotional when it happened the last time, and then it sounded like maybe

that is the reason that you fell this time, too. Your friends are right, it

isn't right to jeopardize your health just because of people that stress you

out.

Sending hugs and prayers for stress-free healing and stress-free days ahead,

Joan

fall.  i was walking to teh laundry room it is outdoors in our carport, and i

have to go down  a deck and steps that are concrete but carpeted with indoor

/outdoor carpet and is not slick, i was not carrying anything, and there was

nothing to trip over, dogs were asleep in house unitl i screamed and cried

out. 

> i was holding onto railing and stepped onto deck and the next thing i knew i

was on my back on the steps, with my right toe nicely tucked uner my feet.  my

elbows, back and the back of my legs are now blessed with some very pretty red

rug burns.  my neck kinda whiplashed when i fell and now my neck wtih has

severe osteoarthirstis at all level o f my neck. my knee is throbbing and i am

guessing  i will end out getting another steroid injection in my neck and then

of course teh big toe i hope i didnt hairline fractur it, but it is already

turning a very nice shae of blue/purlple  arghhhhhh  this happened not even 30

mintues ago and i am already in sooo much pain, i have started putting ice on

eveything, and taken ibuprofen for swelling and then i also took my extra pain

thru morphine cause anytime i get hurt or sick,  my kidneys start to spasm and

go into intense pain so if i can get ahead ot it, that helps ,   i thik that i

son eo fthe worst

frustrating,

very upset and emotional about something and fell in the driveway and hit my

head on the concrete and had to go to ER fortunately no concussion,  i try not

to let people upset me or let things get to me so i dont have these falls. my

friends * hugs* keep telling me, my health isnt worth me letting people get to

me, esp when they seem to try to get to me.

hi sandra,

thanks for the note of concern, i am certainly covered in bruises, theose yellow

ones that seem to hurt more than the other ones,  sheeeesh and my right foot

adn knee are both extremly swollen, i am betting i will have to get another

cortosine shot in my knee, the last one lasted about 1 year so not bad at all,

my knee was just starting to get where it was reminding me it wasnt healthy when

i fell,  i know stress makes my lbvd and my kidneys worse but i still have a

hard time letting conflict or negatve attiutdes roll off of me.  lol   i

amtaking extra pain meds and using ice packs and using some arthiritc pain gel

pads my doc gave me as samples those helped ease my neck pain i will call my doc

and get a steroid dose pack and see if that might hlep before i have to get teh

shot, bexue teh shot will be for my knee not my nekc the medrol dosepack will

take care of both, 

how are tihngs up there with the olympics,  are you all surviving , it is

almost over,  lol  hugs. sharon

Sharon, so sorry to hear. I have to wonder if you are even ambulatory today,

most likely very sore. Take it easy as you recover from this one.
