Okay, pity party for me time. Dh and I planted some new bushes out front and needed to water them last night. We have a brick retaining wall that goes from our front door, across the front of our house and stop at the side. It's about a foot high by the front door, but it's about 3 1/2-4 feet at the side. The water hookup is about a foot from the side. I hooked the hose up and was walking on the bricks to get the hose over my lilac bush and my foot missed the wall completely. Next thing I knew I was laying in the rocks (1/2" granite that surrounds our yard). My left side is SO sore!!! Dh says, "What happened?" I said, "I fell!" lol I'm just bruised, though. Not broken. I have a little cut on the heel of my left hand, some scratches on my arm/elbow and then bruises shaped like the rocks on my knee and hip. I'm going to try and go to Curves this morning after the kids go to school (no kids this morning--have a meeting today). We'll see. Okay. Pity party's over. Thanx for letting me vent.

SO sorry. I fell on some rocks a couple weeks ago and my leg is still scratched and bruised up (but slowly fading). I hope you get over the soreness soon.

Ouch!!! Glad you are ok (well sort of ok) this morning. Hope you heal up quickly!

Oh, dear! I've noticed that as I age, falls like that are much harder on my body! (I'm not saying you're old, LOL!) Hope you heal quickly.

Sorry Cat, I hate it when that happens, I'm such a clutz and I'm always falling down. I even fall up the stairs sometimes. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Ame you crack me up!

By Cat on Thursday, May 5, 2005 - 10:12 am:

Ame, thanx for the laugh! lol Michele, you've got a few years on me, but neither one of us is old! Thanx for all the hugs. The boys will be headed to school soon, so I'll be off to Curves for my torture, I MEAN workout! lol

Ouch!

Cat, be sure to put antiobiotic ointment on all cuts, scratches, scrapes, etc. and keep putting it on at least a couple of times a day until they heal. You will heal faster and with less scarring.

Ginny, the only cut I have is the one on my hand. The scrapes on my elbow/arm didn't even bleed. I'm watching the one on my hand, though. I'm just very happy I already have a chiroprator appointment scheduled for tomorrow! I'll just have to tell her "Fix me up!" lol I am very stiff on my left side today. The bruises are really starting to show on my hip and knee. Otherwise I'm doing pretty well. Curves wasn't too bad. There was only one machine that hurt (with my arm). Hopefully tomorrow's a little better.

Ouch is right!
