Kay,
I can relate to the birds. I remember one time when I reached out trying to grab a branch close to my window and shake it. Didn't help. Good luck with your new apartment. Moving is so much work; but once it's done there will be a good feeling of relief. Gerry |
That's funny, Gerry :)
I was up at the same ungodly time again this morning. I'm going to start wearing earplugs!!! I went to the supermarket on Saturday and it was a zoo, as it always is on the weekend. When it gets like that, I often put my cart off to the side and walk off with my "cane" so I can get to the things I need more easily, but... I fell because some ***** ran me over with her cart! I was really lucky I wasn't seriously hurt, and was able to get up on my own. There was a big to-do... lots of nice people trying to "help." The assistant store manager wanted to call the EMT's (that's their policy), but I did a lot of singing and dancing to convince him not to, and just signed a form saying I refused medical treatment. The whole thing was ****ing embarrassing and I was shaken up. But when the dust cleared, I went back to my cart, picked up bread, cookies, and an ice cream cake (I buy one every year for our birthdays/anniversary), and paid for my groceries LOL... there was NO ****ING WAY I was going through all of that for nothing. They had a kid help me put the groceries in my trunk. I'm still sore and have bruises on various areas on my right side, but I'm okay. I was very lucky. I haven't been out since, but I know I'll have confidence issues when I do. And I will definitely be more careful from now on. Not that it was my fault... she hit me in my backside. So, we didn't end up going out yesterday to celebrate our birthdays and (10th) anniversary. I'm disappointed, but neither one of us felt up to it. I never got around to doing laundry or packing anything this weekend either. I think the universe is conspiring against me with all these delays. I have to take my husband to the DMV this morning because he let his license expire. I hope to get that laundry done when I get home. I also have to start emptying out the cabinets to prepare for the exterminators' visit tomorrow, but I can't do it all until tonight/tomorrow morning. Some of it can stay packed up, but a lot of it will have to go back in the cabinets. |
oh wow...you are the energizer bunny that keeps on going and goiing but through more and more obstacles. You are incredible
much love and awe bobby and blessings |
Kay
I'm so glad you didn't get really hurt. Like broken bones type. That is what would have happened to me. I'm glad you could turn down the ambulance ride too. Donna :hug::grouphug: |

I am so sorry your were pushed down.
How awful. Glad that you were not seriously hurt. You did not need that at all. I am hoping you have a nice birthday tomorrow. (((((HUGS))))) bizi |
Kay,
That's too bad; falling along with "ouch" is embarrassing. I wasn't as fortunate as you when I was at Portillos. A man pulled his chair out just as I was passing by and my cane got caught....down I went. With my PN, as well as other issues; couldn't get up on my own. My husband and son each picked me up under my arms. I wasn't hurt but too late to stop the manager from calling 911. The Firemen, ambulance, etc. all came marching in. Embarrassing to say the least. Of course; I pleaded with them and was finally able to convince them I did't need to go to the ER. Hope you're feeling better; what a way to spend your birthdays/anniversary. But at least you went home with an ice cream cake....yummy!!!!! Gerry |
KAY,
I am so sorry about the fall. Are you still kind of bruised afterwards? Feeling shook up? It's good that the grocery store people were helpful. :hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug: Mari |
I am lucky I didn't break my right arm because I use a "closed" cuff for my forearm crutch, but there is a little V-shaped slit in the front, and my skinny little arm slipped through it... maybe that's why that slit's there. I was able to pull myself up by holding onto a display of crap that was in the middle of the aisle.
I fall pretty often, but I've been very, very lucky. I may have had some mild concussions, but the last time I had a really significant injury was in 2015 when I knocked out my front teeth on the toilet seat because my legs went out on me. Maybe I haven't broken any bones because they are strong because I'm "only" 37 today. I'm all bruised on my right side, and am still pretty sore. I rested for the remainder of the weekend, but I have/have had too much to do to really nurse my wounds. I was very busy yesterday. It's crunch time... I woke up to cat puke this morning, and as soon as I cleaned it up, Rocky puked all over the floor again... my birthday presents I guess. I just bought a bag of Blue Buffalo anti-hairball food. I was using the sensitive systems stuff before. I hope this food works out better. I'm slowly switching them over. We haven't been feeding them any people food for months now. I spent over 2 hours this morning finishing emptying the kitchen cabinets and the cupboards under the sinks because I'm waiting for pest control to come... somewhere between 9am-4pm... UGH. The kitties have been locked in the bedroom since 8:30, and they are NOT happy about it (they're scratching at the door, sticking their paws out under it, and crying :(). I'm showered, dressed, and ready to go because I'll have to leave the apartment for a while when the guys get here, but I want to be here when they come because I want to make sure they DO SPRAY, not just put out bait. I'm going to go to the Yankee Candle outlet to kill time and buy some candles for the new apartment :) I hope they come soon because it's already 11, and I don't do well in the afternoon, especially if I'm out. I also did a lot this morning... I plan on cleaning the inside of the cabinets before I put the things I'm not ready to pack, and there's a lot, back in there. I'm not cooking tonight and don't need any of it, so I think I'll put that whole business off until tomorrow. I'm going to need a nap when I get home, and I know I won't feel like dealing with it. |
Oh Kay; I'm so sorry you got bruised up pretty bad. Thankful nothing broken. You mentioned having some pretty nasty falls before.
With so much to do, glad you are putting everything off until tomorrow. You really need to get some rest. Take care. Gerry |
