In the lounge,sent things on the fireplaace flying across the floor. My left side took the brunt of it,but my right hand hit the fireplace and that is bruised as well as sore and my bad knee has swollen up as well. All that didn't include the stiffness from my back either and i don't suppose it has done that much good either. My left ankle where i broke it is very swollen as well. All i will add is roll on 2017.....

Take care but accidents are always things we can't foresee and we can't wrap ourselves up in cotton wool. You do learn to be more aware of dangers but usually the hard way! Hope you feel better soon . x

I thought I was the most accident prone on the planet. Glad nothing serious, but look after yourself, sweetie, please.

Jeepers,Sylvi!!!

Turn my back for 5 mins and this is what you get up to.

Just be careful.

Have you been checked out either by a doc or at A &E?

If not get yourself down there ASAP and no messing even if it's just to rule out any serious damage.

I will check up on you tomorrow- let me know you have done it?

Bossy,nurse on duty tonight --- lol

Take care.

Glad you have seen someone for a medical opinion.

I am still suffering the after effects of my fall some weeks ago and it really takes more out of you than you think.

Hope you will be better soon Sylvi but be careful.

Told you I was bossy,my hubby has a dogs life - ha ha.

Take care Sylvi, I hope you are okay I agree with Crusee you need to get yourself checked out as you won't know for sure until you have an x-ray. xx

I hope you are OK if anything still hurts you should go to your Doctor or a walk in centre to get everything checked out!

I fell over in February this year outside, I went down like a lead balloon. I twisted my right ankle, landed very heavily on my right hand (couldn't move my thumb at all) and landed on my left knee. Worse thing was I had to go to work, was in agony but still went to work. I was in agony all night and the person I am a carer for her mam told me I should have gone to the hospital instead of coming to work. The next day I still couldn't move my thumb and my right hand was in more pain than every where else. Luckily I hadn't broken anything (so not ever broken anything, and yes I am touching wood as I write this). I still couldn't move my thumb very well and I get pain and numbness on and off since then.

poor you - feet up and cold packs / cold facecloths on knees and ankles 10 mins per hour 4u. time for easy chair, tv etc - and laptop or computer too take it easy honx

Oh no Sylvi - I am so sorry. you might want to get to a doctor if you can to have things checked. Falling can trick your senses and we try to insist that we are okay when maybe not... Please let us know how you are progressing. BTW - you remind me so much of a good friend I have in California. She is very sweet..
