Falling at home, quite Scary!
I swear I have become the world’s biggest blunder_butt on earth!
A couple of days ago I was sitting here at the computer typing away when my phone was ringing, and I could hear my neice speaking on my answering machine, so I go to get up and got so dizzy, and Old Gracie here ( me) slams my right foot/already broken toes) into the kitchen table which now has me in a full blown falling momentum you know?
Where I live there is solid concrete under the tile here so I was trying my best to recover from my downward dizzy spiral of I’m gonna hit the floor…brain is screaming no, don’t hit the floor you have enough injuries already so I twist, and try to thrust my upper body towards the kitchen table here where my stupid computer is sitting, my printer and the big heavy tower you know?
Since I had wrapped my foot/toes around that leg it gave the table quite a jarring and at the same time my brain is registering that hey “Klutz” you are gonna crash here, my brain is also screaming …
GRAB THE PUTER, SAME IT FROM CRASHING ON THE FLOOR!
well long story short thank God I did not hit the ground but I sure did slam my right side up against the table I was in so much pain from all of that I was trying to calm myself down and trying to not burst into tears from the pain, I already had a chiropractor appointment scheduled for the next day thank God!
When I get there I tell him my “horror story”, and so far its taken
two treatments trying to put everything “out” back into where it belongs I wasn’t really sure if I had even broken anything, I mean I live with so much pain daily HOW DO I KNOW? I mean really seriously HOW WOULD I KNOW?
He says on a scale of 1-10 what is your pain level, I hate it when someone asks me that its the dumbest thing they’ve ever come up with at hospitals and doctor offices; DUH!
I told him well now if you had asked me that right after it had happened I would have said my pain level was a 50 or higher, at the time of my visit I told him it was still at least a 15 if not higher..
again I HATE IT WHEN I’M ASKED THAT STUPID QUESTION!
Everything hurts from my head to my toes, speaking of which
I already had 9 out of 10 toes broken over the years after this fiasco I think I am now 10 for 10 on the broken toes…
OUCHY OUCHY OUCHY!!!!
so even though I’ve not been blogging for awhile trust me there is always something going on here in my life…never a dull moment!!
so be careful at home I swear you can really hurt yourself in a bad way really really fast!
