Ok guys I HAD to take a week off b/c of my famous potty chair accident. (For those who don't know my g-daughter was spending the night with us, pulled her potty chair up to the sink so's she could stand on it to brush her teeth and left it there. When I wake up at 4 am and gotta go I suceed in triping over it my side lands on the toilet and then I do some kinda dive into the tub. Well that's the way my bathroom is aranged anyway! LOL) It hurts to do so much as breath but I'm doing better than I was atleast I can now walk around the house. (I thought I wasn't EVER going to be able to sit. Pain at first you know! LOL) Why oh why does dumb stuff like this happen to me? I should have watched where I was going but....................well.................4 in the morning and the call of nature? You get the idea! LOL! I think it would have been funny to watch in slow motion as long as I wasn't the one it happened to. I could have laughed then and not have been "introduced" to the tub so bad! Come on folks laugh with me. IT WAS FUNNY> The funniest thing? Waking up my 4 year old g-daughter (yes I slept with her that night) to go get her "Pa" b/c nanny had fell. She stumbled in to his room saying she had fell down and he was worried about her while I was yelling at the top of my lungs (and crying) for him to come into the room! LOL!

Ouchie Doris! I missed this one. Just can't take you anywhere. :) A video would have gone viral. Sorry, about your tumble though. Stuff like this can happen to anyone. I can't remember all the "bouncers" that I have taken. The latest was last summer when I flipped over the Bunny board and onto my already painful right knee. Pleased to say that I broke the board. :)

Do you have a nightlight in your bathroom? I presume that they took x-rays(of your bones not the bathroom). Did they say if you have a fracture or 2? That is what it sounds like. I bet that you have some impressive bruises. I sure hope that you heal Well and in Good time. Take Care Sweety and stay outta trouble. =)

I think the Er dr was more worried about shutting me up than anything. HEY I HURT AND LET EVERYBODY KNOW IT! LOL!

Yep I got a fractured rib out of it. No you don't want to take me anywhere if I could do that in my own bathroom just think what I could do in public. LOL! I have lights all over my house still don't know why I didn't look down b/f. Brusies a big one that goes all over my right side!

Doris, my sister just told me last week the screamers get in & out of the ER faster than the quiet people! I have an extra walker if you need it - can't promise you won't fall with that though.
Comment by Doris D on February 25, 2011 at 3:32pm
No wonder they got to me so fast! LOL! I wasn't quiet about hurting but I don't think I screamed about it, I just told everybody there what I thought. Heck I'm surprised they even treated me. (yeah kinda bad when they were too slow lol) Ugh if it could happed I garrentee you I'd do it! LOL!
