nothing about money.

November 3rd, 2006 at 10:09 pm

Last night I stepped back from my stove and there was a box on the floor....down she goes...right on the ol tailbone again.

Today, I went to retrieve our mail and stepped onto my dads wet proch and slipped on a leaf...luckily, I landed on my hip instead of my tailbone...but now my tailbone is hurting pretty bad.

I am shaking and in tears as this run of bad luck is truly painful---it hurts dagnabit.

I am NOT going to the retirement dinner tonight because I am back to not sitting for more than a few minutes at a time.

Does anyone else have this much trouble staying on their feet?

    Sorry to hear about your falls, Ray. I seem to run into streaks where I'm constantly hurting myself, too. You need to treat yourself to a nice hot mug of hot chocolate tonight!

    If it makes you feel any better, Ray, my mother insisted the woman who altered my wedding gown raise it two inches higher than normal so I wouldn't trip on it going down the aisle. Wore ballet flats, too, so I wouldn't trip going down the aisle. I had a time in my life where I was lucky if I could keep my feet under me.

    I've learned to be extremely cautious over the last few years so I don't get hurt near as much, but I remember it well. Just slow down, always be aware of your surroundings, don't overload your arms, always use the handrail going down steps of any kind, going down them sideways helps, too. Don't leave anything on the kitchen floor, that is just asking for trouble, I learned that lesson the hard way. That box could have hurled your forward onto a hot burner just as easily as knocking you back on your butt.

    Take it easy and have your DH pick you up a hernia pillow. That'll help with the sitting on a sore tailbone. Poor girl.
