Wishing you much love and happiness this Valentines week!
p.s. I wasn't able to visit and comment last week
because my husband wanted to go shopping at Costco and I had a little incident...
Here is my Facebook entry for that afternoon:
Okay
it's official, I am old, clumsy and most certainly not a bumble! I don't bounce, I do more
of a thud... I chased after a cart in the Costco parking lot, tripped over
(what had to be a really big rock) but was really just air... Managed to fall
on my back and knock the wind out of me. I didn't hit my head, which I think is
a good thing, but couldn't see for a few seconds then shoppers were getting
annoyed because I was in the middle of the road and they couldn't get to a
parking stall to go shopping... I will be fine, I am sure that I will be more
sore tomorrow than I am today. Point is, I am 45 and if it's this bad now I am
not sure I want to be 65, 70 etc... Good news is I didn't land on my face and
break the only pair of glasses I have! :) My glass is half full!
Luckily I
wasn't too sore, I soaked in a bath with Epsom salt which I think helped. I only had a couple of bruises, so all is good now. Lessons learned, don't go to Costco on a
weekend and hold on to the cart at all times! :)
Oh my! There is nothing more scary than a bad fall, it leaves you so sore all over, and you think of how very bad it could have gone! I tripped on a step a couple years back and fell hard on the ground, barely missing a cement corner, my wrist got badly sprained and still gives me problems now and then. Now falling is my biggest fear. If only life came with safety cushions! I hope this week finds you doing better! HUGS
ReplyDeleteTonya...I totally feel for ya...as I have fallen and it sure isn't fun!~
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I was sore for several days afterward! I too soaked in Epsom Salts Bath...I learned that from my momma....and it does help!
Glad you are ok.

That sounds like quite the fall! I'm glad you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI had a fall yesterday, but no where near as bad as yours. It was the subject of my six words. :)
Love your six words—so true!
One of my (slightly younger [ie 61], slightly lighter, slightly more fit) peers took a tumble a couple days ago & the aftermath was not pretty. It got me thinking about how things would have shaken out had it been me instead...
ReplyDeleteFalling is a real fear. I hope you heal quickly and completely. Please be careful! Gentle hug.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are okay. I hate it when those mysterious rocks come out of nowhere!

Life is short, enjoy every minute! So so true! I know we do have bad & sad minutes too but we need to be aware of life being short and precious! It's something you learn along the way I guess; my fellow students of 19/20yrs old don't see it yet which is interesting to learn because I forgot that I didn't know it at that age either. It's Carpe Diem now though :)
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't bounce quite as well as I used either, Tonya, which for a clumsy person, is a bit of a bummer. Glad the damage wasn't too severe.
ReplyDeleteI was saddened but not surprised to hear how shoppers found you a nuisance instead of trying to help. I fell in the street when I was heavily pregnant and people just stepped over me. My five year old son had to help me up.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling much better now.
