My face vs. the concrete driveway...guess who won?

[kris1973]

Not the way I planned on ending a nice Mother’s Day. I considered posting a picture-but it’s EXTRA gross. Went to urgent care this morning. Negative head and face CTs. Infected so they gave me a shot of antibiotics in the butt😂 & a prescription for more antibiotics. On the bright side-I was successful in cutting the tree root that was sticking out of the ground in the middle of my hostas.🤗 PS-It’s a good thing I dropped the clippers when my vertigo kicked & made me fall

[starlight5]

So sorry 🙁Glad your scans were good. Hope it heals quickly.

[bxrmom]

Glad your scans were clear. My dr's office will get me with the antibiotic shot in the butt and oral. Hope you feel better soon and good thing you didn't have the clippers when your vertigo hit.

[DM0329 in reply to bxrmom]

OMG! Best wishes to you as you begin your recovery! 🙂🙏👍

[kris1973 in reply to bxrmom]

Thx The shot helped...I’ll spare you the details... other than saying everything is draining.🤗It’s scary though to have cellulitis that close to my eye. So glad I went in so quickly to get on antibiotics. The last time I had cellulitis it turned into a staff infection. definitely don’t need that on my face.

[bxrmom in reply to kris1973]

Definitely was smart to go when you did!

[twooldcrows]

oh my so sorry ...just had to get that root out of the floor bed , right ..i to cause lots of my falls for fighting to get something out of my way and it is so dumb to work so hard on something when could of went and asked for help or did differently but it was my way and of course when it finally came out i went flying ...hahahah..but i end up getting hurt so i know where you are coming from we just want to do it and get it out of our way...sorry i know it isn't funny but if you are like me i cause so many of my falls or what ever ya want to call them...take care and try next time to ask for help and of course if you are like me and want to do it ...might have to go to the doctor and say what you were doing to get the owe ...sorry hope all is better now that maybe i was able to help you laugh about it ...part of what we can't do anymore but don't want to face it ...stay safe and heal so you can go out and work in the yard again...don't get any boobies ...love and happiness...sure hope i didn't upset you ...loads of love and gardening ...

[kris1973 in reply to twooldcrows]

I loved your response! I did ask for help 3-4 days prior but it hadn’t gotten done on my timeframe🤗 We sound a lot alike - I did know better - but I got the root out like I knew I could! The injury is just a setback to finishing my hosta garden the way I want it “this” year. Oh well😂

[twooldcrows in reply to kris1973]

yes when there is something i want down it is now don't like putting it off for then so many times doesn't get done so i will fight and find a way to get it done my way ....hahaahha...ha that is what it is all about ...at least it is for me ...my husband was a truck driver so he was gone alot and so i had to get things done my way and i worked full time and two children so to get it done had to be on me ...ahhahahah...it was okay we learn from all of it ...have a wonderful day and hopefully you can get to work on your garden ..take care and do enjoy life for what it is ours....not MS...I was this before getting MS and still do most of what i want ....love and much happiness ...

Hi Kris, I am so sorry your Mother’s Day ended up disastrous. My hubby gets cellulitis in his legs but to have it on your face, it must be painful. Hope the antibiotics click in soon. Have the girls played anymore games recently? 🤗

[kris1973 in reply to jimeka]

Hi. I’ve had cellulitis in my leg-which turned into a staph Infection years ago. It’s not like I can soak my face in Epsom salts-but I wish I could!🤗 I’m thinking this one is staph also-swelling is worsening & getting blister-like pockets today. Yes the girls continue to bowl (& Dan). Hailey bowled on FS1 in February & Hannah on ESPN 2 weeks later. Hannah won NAIA Women’s Conference Bowler the Year. Kalli is better than both of her older sisters & Dan keeps winning also. He’s coaching a bowler on the National Australia Team - all while being in MN....he doesn’t get much sleep🤗 Another bowler he’s been coaching for 6 years (and who dated Hannah for a year-her very 1st boyfriend Jordan Monnens will be bowling the INTERCOLLEGIATE SINGLE CHAMPIONSHIP this Saturday on CBS Sports. It’s been a very successful year. I miss talking with you-sorry it’s been so long -Kris PS-Most importantly...how are your grandkids?🤗

[jimeka in reply to kris1973]

Wow, it’s good to hear that they are all doing so well and Dan sounds as though his coaching is a success. I do hope your face heals well and quick, and that you don’t scar from your fall. Harry my eldest grandson just got his report card for the year. He has done so well, he achieved the highest award in all 16 subjects, he really enjoys learning, he will be 13 soon. Charlie is 7, and very mischievous, he is the entire opposite to Harry. He hates school, but he loves soccer. He scored his first hat trick on Saturday. He is very athletic and loves sports. My youngest son just got married at the weekend. Because of the pandemic they were only allowed to invite 15, so William, who is 4, was his best man, and his daughter Mia, who is 3 was the flower girl/ bridesmaid. My son and his now wife have been together 14 years, he will be 30 this year. I will add a photo of them. You take care, blessings Jimeka

Hey kris1973 I can relate!! Strangely enough, I also ended my Mother’s Day by falling on my driveway. Luckily I fell onto my well-padded behind, and not my face. Also, it was lovely that it was all captured on our home security cam... The fam loved it. I would have included the spectacular video of my (un)graceful fall here, but I could only upload a photo. So, witness my greatness in this still-shot...

I now have a mangled right elbow and a deeply lacerated big toe. (Who knew neglected driveways were so sharp!?)

*sigh* This stuff is just my new MS standard. Just when you think you’re fit enough to drag a mattress out of a van.

[jimeka in reply to HensTooth]

Oh my goodness. We should call Mother’s Day National fall day.I hope you recover quickly. 🤗

[cindyrn68]

Ouch! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

[Neworleanslady]

Sorry about the bad experiences 🙁

[Midsomer1]

Glad your on the mend! Besides the unfortunate incident, hope you had a nice Mother's Day!

[greaterexp]

I'm sorry about your fall. Feel better quickly!

[CrazyCatWom]

Ooooo ouch! Having bitten concrete myself, I totally sympathize! Fortunately, in my case, I only wound up with a bruise above my upper lip which looked like a mustache. Hope those antibiotics work quick for you!

[kris1973 in reply to CrazyCatWom]

I have one on my eyelid🤗

[Jogrna]

Ouch!!! Face planted into the corner of a door last year on Florida vaca!! I feel your pain!!

[hairbrain4]

Glad you weren't terribly hurt. I have taken a couple of face dives into the ground. I had to go to the ER with the last one. I wasn't pretty either. I have 2 scars on my face as a souvenir!

[kris1973 in reply to hairbrain4]

I probably will have at least 1 big one under my eye where the main infection is the worst. The rest of my face will hopefully heal better.

[kris1973 in reply to hairbrain4]

I (hope to continue) wearing my battle scars with a fun twist. I already have this one figured out...there is a reason I won’t get tattoos with the girls...bc I gave myself a better, more original one on Mother’s Day🤗

[Bwine]

Oh, bless your heart! Several years ago I fell face first in to my bathroom door jam and it was painful. Huge egg on the side of my face and a black eye. Just yesterday, my black lab was her overly excited self and rammed right into my legs and laid me out backwards, flat on my back. I was on the grass so no visible injuries but it was such a jolt that it gave me an instantaneous headache. A little soreness throughout my body but I seem to be fine today. I hope you recover completely and sooner than later.

[mrsmike9]

Ouch! So very glad you dropped those clippers!

[lbenmaor]

kris1973,I hope you're feeling better.
