Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Hi It really gives one a scare doesn't it! I suspect the chances are that you are OK. A few weeks after my first resurfacing I fell out of bed, when I misjudged the edge of the bed (trying, believe it or not, to flick over to get a huge spider off my leg!!). I crashed on to my butt on the resurfaced side. A sore few days followed, accompanied by lots of panic and messages to this board, while I rested a lot....then it passed. Rest.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Thanks, that helps the panic factor considerably. Sue > > Hey surfers... > > I was scrubbing the bathtub the other day on my knees.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Hi, What a @#$@%............. Interesting isn't it - we avoid the dangerous things like certain sports and then hurt ourselves cleaning or falling out of bed trying to toss off spiders.......... On the light side now I know why I avoid cleaning....... but on the serious.......... do hope you recover okay........... you are bound to have shaken up a few important muscles/tendons/ligaments no doubt giving them an extension stretches they were not looking for....... which would possibly account for the clunk clunking...........i.e. they are now stretched beyond where they were tight before............ but there is nothing like a good dose of panic as well.......... While it is pretty usual to rest a little after a trauma it is also important to keep the whole area moving to help dissipiate the chemicals etc that make for the muscles etal being sore..........but be gentle and kind .......... Hope to hear all has returned to normal....... Edith LBHR Dr. L Walter Syd Aust 8/02 > I was scrubbing the bathtub the other day on my knees.
