And then I fell down the stairs

And then I fell down the stairs - 03/04/07 06:49 PM

I woke up today and found that all the shoveling and cold, wet weather had left my arthritic left knee in real pain. I limped around the house dragging my left leg rather than bending it. Up and down the stairs yelling "ow, ow, ow", as if it would help the pain, getting my darn washing and cleaning done.

I went outside to breath in some fresh air and my slippers got a bit wet from the melting snow. When I came in and headed down the steps to the washer and dryer, I slipped in my wet slippers and slid on my behind all the way to the bottom.

Boy, Now I have a sore knee, rear end and arm from trying to stop the inevitable slide down the steps.

Waa Waa Waa

Oh gosh, bless your heart honey! Fix yourself a nice cup of whiskey and honey and call it a day. Mercury is retrograde and the whole world is upside down!

That is what I heard! Seems I was just following the planets - being all upside down.

Anno...Oh my, shoveling is the worst for your knee! Isn't there any young boy from the neighborhood that could do that for you? Yes, take it easy and eat lots of chocolates with that whisky!
Where's that song "Catch a falling Star" when you need it?!

Oh, a boy for the shoveling. I think I will put an ad in Craigs List. Tall, muscular, speaks with a slight accent, bends over when shovels. Hmmmmm. I will ask D tonight if we can afford the stud, oh, ah, er, I mean shoveling service.

Re: And then I fell down the stairs - 03/04/07 08:51 PM

Help yourself! Oh, not to the great looking boy with the mitten, but to a truffle!

Seems today it is my turn to follow you around the posts!

Unfortunately, it is funny. It wasn't for a minute or two, but thanks, all for sharing in a laugh on me.

Remember the old ads on tv for Charmin, where the kids put toilet paper on their butts when they know they are going to get a spanking? Now, that's a great idea! But, my butt is big enough already.

Oh, JJ, you are reallllllly enjoying this, aren't you? LOL

I woke up this morning in even more pain. Now my wrist is throbbing from where I tried to catch myself and I have a huge knot on my butt. The bruise almost covers one whole cheek. And then there is the arthritic knee.

Sheese - ain't getting older so much fun!

Re: And then I fell down the stairs - 03/05/07 01:55 PM

Oooh, Anno, I'm aching with you just at the thought!!! I think that calls for an R&R day, don't you? Will you be able to take it easy? Or may a nice soothing warm bath? Or a nice massage from your shovel-boy, er, well, someone with good strong hands?

Anyway, I'm so sorry for your pain. Put some ice on your wrist (a bag of frozen peas or corn works well), and try to rest up that bruised cheek of yours...I'll be thinking of you all day and hoping that that you're feeling better very soon.

Maybe you should go see your doctor. That's a bad bruise. How can you even sit?

Sorry...that was a bum deal...he he he!

Re: And then I fell down the stairs - 03/05/07 09:34 PM

Yes, Jane, a bum deal! tee hee

No doctors for me - what would they do but tell me I have a big fat a**! Ha!

It is amazing, the bruise is getting bigger. D wanted to look at it this morning and then again when I came home from work. Took a look in the mirror and horror of horrors, the butt and the bruise had both grown.

The knees are better today, tho. Always looking for that little piece of gratitude.

Hey, JJ, where are you? I need some more needling!

Anno,
Don't know if laughing or crying is in order here, so I did a bit of both. Do watch that hind-end bruise, MIl fell once and turned out she had cracked her tail bone. Either way it's a great excuse to papmer YOU.

Re: And then I fell down the stairs - 03/06/07 12:08 AM

Oh, my bruised butt is far away from the tail bone. Tonite I get a warm massage from the older man - not the boy. D said no to the muscular boy. Wonder why?

Anno, no need to go to the doctor. I've never seen a butt cast. Have you?

Re: And then I fell down the stairs - 03/06/07 07:03 AM

I say eat some truffles. They cure anything, am I right? And...............stay off the stairs, k?
Posted by: Anno

Re: And then I fell down the stairs - 03/06/07 12:54 PM

Swelling is down a bit, bruise getting bigger!

Truffles and wine. Now there is a diet I could live with for a lifetime.

The butt cast has me cracking up!

Hey, yes, pun intended!

No, I am using this forum to whine a bit as my medication, and a bit of sports cream to add a bit of heat.

I am enjoying all this humor at the expanse . . I mean expense, of my little, and now a bit lumpy, tushy.

Re: And then I fell down the stairs - 03/06/07 05:29 PM

A BUTT CAST?! Hummm wouldn't that be something? And when it was removed, you could bronze it for a most unusual sculpture & use it for ART in the bath. LOL or front lawn to moon pesky D-to-D sales people & unvited guests. It's so wonderful you are blessed with the grace and charm to laugh about it.

Oh Anneā€¦It's bitter to bully a bumped butt.

There once was a girl name Anno
She fell in the air like a plane-O!
She went bumpity bump
Landed right on her rump
And now she's learn to complain-O

Thank you...thank you...I do backyard parties and BBQ's. Have your people call my people.

Oh, I love all this laughter! Great poem, Queenie. Are you pushing for the Hannelore poetry contest reward? I will call my agent and have her call your agent.

I have been the butt of all of this humor and I am honored, BUTT of course!

I will BUTTer my BUTT and call myself a BUN!

And I will remove my cast, and I am sorry, but a bronze butt? I think not - I am surely worth a golden GLOBES!

It sounds funny but can be a real hurtful situation. I hope you are on the mend my dear friend. Having a bad knee is awful enough, but to add to that a sore butt and arm, why thats just obnoxious...

Re: And then I fell down the stairs - 03/09/07 04:16 PM

Anno, I hope your heinie is on the mend. No fun hurtin' on your sittin' down place.

I've done some pretty clutzy things in my day. Several years ago when I was young and dumn and fashion took precedence over sensibility, I had a pair of thongs ( the sandal kind) that were slippery on the bottom. I slid down our stairs (only four steps) two times. The second time my husband came in behind me and instead of helping me up he took my sandals off and threw them in the trash. Looking back he was the smarter of the two of us.
