Luck is not on my side

I hurt my foot over a month ago. I have since found out its fractured. How I did this is a mystery. I really have no clue. Two weeks ago I was placed in a cast. That too was not a good day. But those two events don't compare to what happened to me Fri night. At about 12:30 I was rudely awakened by the feeling of falling, however it was not a dream. I actually fell out of bed landing on my right hip and my head hitting the metal dog crate I keep in the bedroom. I now have bruises on my left shoulder, above my eyes are all bruised, and I have pain and bruises up and down my right side. I don't know how I managed to hurt BOTH sides of my body but I did. Sometimes I think if it wasn't for my bad luck I wouldn't have any.
Arghhhhh

ya know, when the kids would constantly be getting hurt we always blamed it on a growth spurt.. are you an inch taller that you don't know where your ends are? lol

HUGS - I sleep against the wall at night as a few years ago I fell out of bed.. and I have no intention of ever doing that again!!

so apparently there is a case of monkey see monkey do here!! I was in taking a nap and though I did not fall out of bed, I did fall in my dream and jerked so hard while asleep that I caused muscle spasms in my back. Sigh. That was really weird that it happened tonight.

Oh honey,

I hope you feel better soon. Do you know what caused you to fall out of bed? I'd move everything away from the bed so you don't ever fall on anything else again. That metal crate must of hurt. Did you get checked by your doctor to make sure you didn't break any other bones in the fall?

Praying you feel better soon.

Hugs,

Actually Yadlim I think I shrunk an inch. Lol. Thank you all for your kind words. I have not broken any more bones to my knowledge but I am really sore.

I'm sorry you fell Jasmine. That has to suck big time. I haven't fallen off the bed yet, but I have almost fallen in the shower. Falls scare me because you can sustain a lot of damage during a fall. I hope you feel better with some rest over the next few days and weeks. I'm going to keep you in my prayers. Hugs!

    ((I tried to post this in one of my journals...but DS kept giving me an error message)))Decided to venture to Detroit. I rarely get to this side of the state since my father was murdered on the east side about 41 years ago. My mom and I rarely went to this side, but I recall she visited the Sommset (www.thesomersetcollection.com/) mall with one of her friends a few years ago. She talked about the...
