[pamgarner]

[Juleigh21]

What a rotten way to start the morning! I’m sorry you fell😕. I did that two days ago. The skin grows back on my knees and elbows And then down I go.

[pamgarner in reply to Juleigh21]

you do get it,what a wake up call!

[greaterexp]

Oh, no! I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you discover that you didn't hurt yourself much. I'm sending some virtual chocolate to help. Stay safe!

[pamgarner in reply to greaterexp]

i will take chocolate any way you want to give it

[Allen5280 in reply to greaterexp]

The good part about virtual chocolate, it virtually has 0 calories!

[greaterexp in reply to Allen5280]

Not a lot of flavor, however.

[twooldcrows]

i guess it is going around so many falls ...i like the chocolate meds for it ...hahahhaah...be careful and hopefully it stops ...love and happiness...

[pamgarner in reply to twooldcrows]

that's the problem,i also take"chocolate pills"the problem with that is too much chocolate makes too much pam,i would hate to hit the floor heavier

[greaterexp in reply to pamgarner]

But we love Pam! Isn't more better?

[Hidden]

Oh no 🙉 pamgarmer!!

Glad no major damage was done

Be careful dear

[pamgarner in reply to Hidden]

luck of the draw,i guess.it is like playing russian roulette,you never know when you are going to break them bones

[pamgarner in reply to Hidden]

i certainly do try my best to stay safe,i can't imagine life with a cast on ..............

[Allen5280 in reply to pamgarner]

Ewww the thought of a hot itchy cast... ew.. that is enough in itself to make my skin crawl!

[jimeka]

Pam, oh dear, not again. I hope that you haven’t jarred yourself. Be prepared to feel stiff tomorrow, go careful I hope you had help getting back up. Blessings Jimeka 🤗

[Yracy]

Why is it that the fall always comes before the coffee?

I hope you are not hurting to bad and that you will be ok! I cheer you on as you get up and hobble to a safe spot. I encourage you to try again, just take small steps... Oh that coffee ☕ is worth it!

God bless...

[pamgarner in reply to Yracy]

yes it is,i would crawl to get a cup,but as usual bumps and bruises,thank goodness that's all

[Yracy]

Relax and have the ice and the heating pad very close at hand. I will enjoy a cup of coffee with you my dear! Stay blessed... and off the floor

[erash]

Hope u r ok.

I use double sided tape to secure small throw rugs...

[Hidden in reply to erash]

Maybe double sided tape is the answer...

I should try that on the bottoms of my feet 🦶

Lol—-😃

[Allen5280 in reply to Hidden]

Dont use the double sided gorilla mounting tape. The one time I really SHOULD have read the directions. It IS permanent! I put up a solar light on my trailer. The directions on the light said to put it up and let it charge for a day or two before turning it on. So i did. Now i cant get the stupid thing down without tearing something up to turn it on!!! Ugggggg cog fog... i thought it would be like the alien tape on TV!!! 😳🤯

[pamgarner in reply to Allen5280]

thanks for the tip

[pamgarner in reply to erash]

believe it not it was a 10x12ft.you would have thought,i would have felt that but you know how it is those old numb feet....................................i should say dumb feet

[pamgarner in reply to erash]

i guess i drag those feet,tape is a good idea

[Neworleanslady]

Sorry to hear that :(. Coffee is worth it! I love the chocolate idea!

I guess a coffee pot in your bedroom would be over the top. 😄

[Hidden in reply to Neworleanslady]

Funny 😄

Never thought of that 🤔

Somebody to bring you coffee ☕️ and bacon 🥓 in bed 🛌

WOW—-

That would be great 👍

I guess when I had my surgery and in the hospital,

I asked for bacon and coffee everyday....

But the hospital setting is not that great!

[Neworleanslady in reply to Hidden]

Nothing wrong with full service!

[pamgarner in reply to Neworleanslady]

not if hubby is cooking,he is only good with can of soup,i could have toast

[Neworleanslady in reply to pamgarner]

😆

[falalalala]

I'm glad you're alright.

[pamgarner in reply to falalalala]

thank you,i think ther is a song song"here I go again"

[bxrmom]

Sorry to hear you fell. May be time for bubblewrap to keep you safe Hope your not too banged up from your fall. Chocalate sounds good!

[Scamp56]

Sadly after the fall in 18 that sprained my back, I use a walker all the time. Drop foot tangles with good foot. Add in a dose of woozy or imbalance....

Sit on the side of the bed before standing to make sure head is clear. Consider keeping cane in hand until you know all is going well.

[pamgarner in reply to Scamp56]

that is just it ,after 8 years i still think of what i could do in the old days

[Amore55]

Pam, believe it or not, when I was still married, my husband rigged up a wonderful area by my side of the bed with a small coffee pot, small, dorm fridge for my creamer, and of course I had sugar and spoon at the ready! All I had to do was reach over, flip it on and fix it up! Coffee in bed every morning! Even though he was at work! It was insanely marvelous. Boy, I miss those days! I am SO sorry about your fall. Please go carefully. We all know the floor loves to grab our feet when we do not expect it! Love, Kelly xx

[Hidden in reply to Amore55]

WOW 😳😳😳😳

Hot plate with bacon 🥓 frying....

I would have married him too!

LOL 😆

[Amore55 in reply to Hidden]

Yep, but he divorced me in 2018. MS was too much to cope with after all those years! Oh well, that is life, right? It broke my heart, but feel so much better now.

[pamgarner in reply to Amore55]

so sorry,some people can't deal with constant life pressures.i have been divorced too many years ago,and you are right,it is ok

[Hidden in reply to Amore55]

I am sorry 😐

[pamgarner]

what a peach hubby was to rig that for you

[Amore55 in reply to pamgarner]

See above reply! 😅😂🤣

[JTZES]

I keep my cane directly next to my bed. Getting up is one of my biggest challenges and once I'm up and balanced. I go on from there. It's the only time that I use the cane.

[Yracy]

I hope you have mended from all the bumps and bruises you accidentally received when you kissed the floor? Seems as though we all get our turns doing it. Trying to fall carefully does not happen either! Yesterday I got to bounce off the stove, refrigerator, and a dog crate before I landed...and yes, I was getting a cup of coffee ☕! Stay safe my dear heal quickly,walk with small steps and always stay blessed...

[pamgarner in reply to Yracy]

you hit the nail on the head,i need to slow down!at least your fall wass iteresting so sorry that happened,you probably look like me bruised

[Hidden in reply to Yracy]

Agreed 👍

The only time I move fast (kinda) is to the bathroom 🚽

I told the gal at physical therapy, if there ever was a fire 🔥

I would be a done for! LOL 😆

Not really funny, but true....

When I try to move fast or not concentrate... Is when I end up kissing 💋the floor...

[Yracy]

Oh to be bruised and not broken, one of the many blessings of the day 🥴❣️. No matter how well I believe I have "set" things up,grab bars,a chair to "catch" me,etc. it always seems to be just a step away!🙁.

Let's be grateful we can laugh together,it gets old crying alone!😪. Prayers 🙏for all, as good thoughts go out as well. Stay upright, and, blessed... Pam, heal fully and quickly 🤕😇🐾🐾

[pamgarner in reply to Yracy]

thank you:))

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador]

Where is that bubble wrap suit when you need it, pamgarner ? Be Safe and Keep Smiling

[pamgarner]

sure could use it
