Memorial day I fell in a hole and twisted my ankle. so I have been on cruches for the past 2 weeks well yesterday I was trying to pick up a little since I haven't been able to clean much. I was cleaning around the couch and moved it foward to fix the couch cover well my luck ds spilt water on the floor(hardwood) I went to step back on bad ankle and landed in the water and my ankle twisted again but my leg twisted also and I went down to the floor landing on my leg. I was on the verge of bawling well ds sliped and fell and hit his head on the back of the end table.He was crying I am crawling over to him trying not to cry myself when Dd thought I was giving horsey rides because I am on all 4's and came running from the kitchen well she slipped and fell and went head first into the arm of the couch. What a day my knee is twice the size it should. atleast its the same leg I twisted my ankle. Dd has a small black eye and DS is okay. I couldn't believe my luck. on top of that I took 2 tylenol 3 with codine today because dr said it would be okay so I did well a few minutes later my head was spinning I could feel my heart beating out of my chest. So I went and layed down and next thing I know its was 6 hours later and oldest DD is asking if we can go to the drive in. I am ready for a long vacation!!!!

{{{{Marie}}}} You need to just go to bed for the summer. I feel so bad for you. Tylenol 3 knocks my dh on his butt & he is 6'9" tall, 325 pounds. I will be keeping you in my thoughts. I hope your summer gets better.

Marie, I am so sorry and I hope you all get on the road to recovery.

That seems like our house, when one thing happens an avalanche starts!

My goodness! It never rains but it pours! That is so terrible. Tylenol with Codeine are the worst things. I would have a movie marathon today and just take it easy. Of course, easier said than done.

doing pretty good. The swelling is going down in the knee and ankle both tender still. I can't believe it I have been so accident prone here lately that it is funny. I am afraid to walk across the floor anymore. LOL. Thanks for asking you all are a pretty special bunch of girls and I am glad to be a part of this group.( and Guys)
