I had a weird accident yesterrday

So I sleep sporadically, 3-4 hours several times in 24 hours. My hubby of 29 years and I have different bedrooms for various reasons.

So yesterday, during the day I was sleeping, but knew I was trying to turn to my stomach from my side.

To my shock I rolled out of bed and landed on my my bottom, wedged between the nightstand and bed. I was surprised I didn’t knock my lamp off the table, nor hit my head or neck. The nightstand did dig into my right shoulder blade and I was sitting on a surge protector. I was awake then.

No one in my house heard me. Not my autistic sister or hubby.

So I had to slowly scoot myself off the surge protector and from between the nightstand and bed. I knew the pain in my upper back was going to leave a bruise. Then I rolled back into bed.

I did talk to my husband later and I asked him if he heard anything?

Him: oh yeah, sounded like a bowling ball hit the floor.

I thought, yeah thanks for checking.

Just typing this —breaks my heart. Why am I still with this moron?

I’m disabled from back injury but this hurt further up. It painful and I laid on an ice pack most of the day. I haven’t checked out the bruise. Thanks for asking. 🌸🌸🌸

I fallen out of bed while asleep. I woke up one morning with a skinned knee and a bruise on my face. It took me awhile to remember I woke up on the floor and went back to bed.

Just wanted to check on how you're doing... Any bumps or bruises?

I looked in the mirror and there is a 3-4 scratch between my shoulder blades. Not a bruise yet. It’s not that bad. I have weird falling injuries. One time around Thanksgiving, it gets cold and icy here. I drove my husbands truck to the store and bought a frozen turkey, put it in the truck bed. So I was getting out of the truck bed with said turkey and the turkey got momentum and swung out onto the driveway. And I fell onto my knees. I was crying. It was dark and a guy was walking his dog and asked if I was ok. So sweet and I said i was ok. Then my daughter came out and I said get your dad.

No damage to the frozen turkey but I pulled a tendon. That was crazy. 😳

Thank you! I have some balance issues. I put on some pounds. I’ll have to ask my doctor about it. Thanks again. 😁🌸😁🌸😁

Wow!... and I am sorry that happened....and oh I hear ya.... I know the feeling, the term moron fits when it would be a natural instinct for me to get up and make sure everything and everyone was okay...I fell here once in the hall with a bowl of stew and the older kid just looked at me, didn't ask if I was okay or if I needed help getting up.

Your gonna have a pretty good bruise women.... and I hope you didn't pull anything too much....it's shocking to the system isn't it....like... what the heck!....

Hey I'm so sorry to hear this happened. How are you feeling this morning? I fell last winter, wound up with a concussion & my son never heard me! Maybe you should get checked out to be on the safe side? Love, peace, light, joy & hugs!!!

Not at callous at all. He has a dry sense of humor and laughs at the weirdest things. As I’ve said often “the bloom has fallen off the rose.” Lol
