I just have to blog about something that happened to me this past Sunday evening. I've been trying to rearrange my bedroom and haven't come up with a plan that works for me. While getting ready for bed that evening, I had an impulse to try a different idea, and moved around a couple pieces of furniture. I needed to move the foot of my bed over a few feet, so grabbed it by the very top of the post on the corner of the footboard and pulled very hard. With a loud SNAP, the knobby thing came off in my hand and I went flying backwards, hitting my arm on a dresser and - more importantly - landing on one butt cheek on top of a pair of shoes. And I landed HARD! Tears instantly poured out of my eyes, it hurt so bad. I laid on the floor and cried for a few minutes, thinking "I'm now an old lady, I've fallen and broken my hip, just put me out of my misery, and I need one of those thingy's that hang around my neck so I can call for help". What was I going to do - even if I managed to crawl to a telephone, the doors are all locked so there's no way for the 911 crew to come inside and rescue me! (Of course, my kids have keys to my house but who thought of that!) After a few minutes, I realized that I could indeed move my feet and leg, and that maybe I hadn't broken anything after all. I managed to crawl over to the bed, pulled myself up and found I could walk just fine. Yep, I was hurting but.....
So I hobbled into the bathroom, brushed my teeth, took a couple of ibuprofen, and went to bed. Exhausted, I fell asleep prety quickly.
Around 3:30 AM I awoke and rolled over OOUUCCHH! That really hurt. I managed to get comfy enough to doze off and on until morning, and then painfully got out of bed. As I was getting ready to get into the shower, I got a glimpse of my butt in the mirror and saw a bruise about as big as the state of Texas on my ass! LOVELY!
This isn't me - but my bruise is equally huge and colorful!
I spent most of Monday taking more ibuprofen and feeling pretty miserable, came home and went to bed fairly early. Today was a bit better - and my bruise is turning lovely colors - rather purple now. I can't wait to see what color it is tomorrow.
Yep, I'm graceful all right. Now I need to figure out how to fix the bedpost. And tonight my garbage disposal broke too. Ah yea, I have a fun life!
