Embarrassed and bruised.....

[georgie63]

Feeling really sorry for myself on this beautiful sunny Monday morning.

Yesterday I was having a good day and my lovely best friend invited me over for Sunday dinner. So I was getting ready to leave and Bang !!! - I'd fallen over and found myself sprawled on the floor in the hallway.

It was only 2 weeks ago I'd had my steroid injections in my osteoarthritic knees and they were just settling down. Now I feel like I've got a big football for a knee and my god the pain is excruciating. I also put all of my very large body weight onto my hand as I fell and that's throbbing too.

But I was determined to see my friend as she had invited me a couple of weeks ago, but with my lupus brain fog I stupidly forgot to take my tablets and I was in a feverish state under a blanket but with a fan on me, so I couldn't let her down again, but I really don't know if I was good company for her in the end.

So here we are the day after and I'm so stiff and sore and I haven't even got a bruise to show for it !! Even though I feel like I should be black and blue....

Lol

So I'm looking for lots of sympathy .......

I thank you in advance......lol

Hi Georgie63, we all have accidents that happen & cause the most emotional/physical hurt to self more than anything. A good friend would be concerned about your well-being & uplift you (maybe literally in your case). Living with health conditions has frustrated me because I don't know what my body is capable of anymore as I've mentally & physically changed. We just have to live & learn. Feeling guilty will just make you feel worse. You haven't committed a crime. None of us are perfect. It's great you're being honest about how it's made you feel so you can reflect on why. Be kind to yourself. I pray you make a speedy recovery.

Take care x
