Guest guest Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Ouch Pink Joyce...that sounds like a doozy of a fall.. I do hope you're feeling better by the time you get this. You know I've had cause to be grateful for my childhood Ballet Classes on more than one occasion...when I trip over something I just try & go into a 'jete' move & then eventually land again just a bit later than I expected to! I wonder of that's what Cats do!!!!!! With my 3 stage Progressive Lens Specs this happens quite often...my sense of depth persception is quite poor & also the part of the lens I'm peering thorugh often isn;t quite right for the step I'm about to take! There's never any warning so I just try & not panic enough to allow my tripping foot to take flight along with the rest of me! Of course the rest of me has to decide to stay elegantly UPRIGHT..Arched even, with beautiful soft Ballet arms....just KIDDING! SGIO Newbies...don't wurrie..this is just in Oz (GIO) being Scilly (SGIO)! >> i frequently say "if the disease doesn't kill me, the tubes will"> > yesterday i fell on the tubes> > tripped while walking into my bedroom> > went straight down, landed flat on my front> > glad it was a carpet with padding to cushion the fall> > hurt my arms, but was able to get up right away> > didn't feel like anything broke> > this morning, i have a bad case of "whiplash" -- like the day after a car accident> > upper arms, upper back, neck -- all hurt> > took some ibuprofen about 30 minutes ago, still waiting for it to kick in> > wondering if i should go to ER or take a hot bath> > > Pink Joyce R (IPF 3/06) IFA 5/09 Pennsylvania > Donate Life Listed 1/09 Inactive 4/09> www.transplantfund.org> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Hi Pink Joyce, I often say exactly what you said about the tubes vs the disease. I wish there was a way that the tube could be on a recoil(if that's the right term) but similar to a dog's leash. I think those of us who have that long tubing feel like its a leash, so maybe is it recoiled like the dog's leash we might not trip as much. I hope no one is offended but it is what it is. I do hope you are well and not hurt.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I am going to be in Arkansas until the 25th on a fishing trip with my husband and checking on my parents. If anyone needs to get in touch with me about the trip call my cell phone as I wont have my computer. Peggy I hope you feel better soon, and if I stay healthy I will see everyone in Chattanooga I hope your Phillies win as I am a die hard Cub fan and can only imagine your excitement.
