Guest guest Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Clumsy? Well I don't know what you'd call it. I think it's a short from the feet to the brain. For me I'm the same, I fell over my two feet and curb in August. Just plain walking. Fell flat on my face. Hit my knee and right wrist. This was in broad daylight in front of shoppers. An older man ran to my rescue but I was sooooo embarrassed. I'm so thankful I didn't have that extra 77lbs on me. I would have probably really damaged more than my pride. I'm still recovering on the knee even though it was just a bad bruise. Take care of yourself. Sorry you missed out on some good shopping time. Probably saved you some money, huh?

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Ann, are you sure your not related to Regina? No seriously, I have days when I get dingy and clumsy. Someone had mentioned at church that they had fallen while cleaning it the day prior. I jokingly said that no one else had EVER fallen at church. Prior to surgery, I must have fallen at church at least 3 or 4 times - once really bad.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 About a month ago, I fell at the Bible outlet store .. I tripped over the wooden blocks that the small children sit on.. and hit my knee.. huge bruise, and my elbow on the inside. My elbow still hurts many weeks later.. I am wondering now if I have fractured or chipped a small bone.. I guess I am clumsy too.. or maybe just unlucky..LOL Peachy hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Well, I know he would stay if he could. Last night, I about gave him heart failure. He just doesn't trust me alone, and maybe that's got some merit to it. I was sitting in my recliner, giving out puppy treats. Somehow, one of my foster dogs (I do rescue work), and one of my dogs got into a snarlfest, and my big foot was in the way....6 hours and 15 stitches later, I was home, from the emergency room, and without pain medications (try getting a prescription filled at midnight). Fred was frantic. And pissed at me for trying to just pass it off with putting a couple of Band-Aids on it. And we were both very thankful that He sent us to stay with me right after he left. She took me to the hospital, and will take care of things here while I heal. It's one of those, " When God closes one door, he opens a window " things. I am so thankful to have her here, even if she does drive me nuts with her 19 year old ways. Jac http://www.pictureitdigitaldesigns.com/ http://members.cox.net/XXXFARMPAINTS mail to: jholdaway@...
