So sorry to hear one of our walkers is down and bruised.

Hold good thoughts and sending out prayers for a speedy recovery from the tumble.

Thank you So much Bob for your thoughts and Joyce for your thoughts and prayers, As soon as I can be steady on my feet I will be starting at mile one again.


Thank you so much
Marie

That's the spirit. Easy Does It.

What the heck happened, mysooners? How bad was the fall?

I was walking (of course) and took a break, put my foot up an the curb. I started off, lost my balance and fell face first., hit my head, hurt my ribs and my knees.I broke my glasses while on my face Ok that hurt, a lot! Three young people ran to me and helped me up and a lady driving took me home.

OK, that was the first fall. The next morning, as usual, I went on my walk, oh my husband repaired my glasses. I knew it wasn't going to be one of my 5 mile walks. Two miles was all I could do. This lady, driving down the street asked if I needed a ride, and of course i replied, I'm in a walking group. I was only five houses away from my mine. So she said she would follow behind me. I get up to my house, walk up the stairs, and opened the door, but I looked behind me, stepped into the house, tripped on the rug and fell face first on the floor! Same eye second time, only this time my glasses broke around my eye. My husband nearly fainted when he saw the blood, however, It wasn't bad enough to get stitches. This tine I hurt my front and back, I can't breath, and trying to get in and out of bed is a real hoot.I am so sorry, guys, and you know I was wearing my new shoes that I earned on my 30 straight day!

Who ever reads this, let me know and i will owe you FIVE miles!
Lots of Hugs!
Marie

Thanks for the cares and prayers!

Marie I love your tenacity! You are one tough broad!

I will match your 5 miles today!

Mysooners.. so sorry to hear of your stumbles. You are so amazing to get up and keep walking. I am so impressed by this story.

I hope you feel better soon. Sending you hugs and prayers. And some bubble wrap to keep you safe. :)

Fighterwithin, Wow that is a pretty strong name. Thank you for your words of kindness. I sure hope you sent I enough bubble wrap.

My plan is to put in 4 more miles by the 31st. I am still in a lot of pain. DARN.

Here's to all of us!

Marie

You are amazing. You get hurt not once but twice and you keep going. how do you do it?
Please keep safe and don't hurt your self again. Don't want you to be in anymore pain. Please take care and be well. good luck with the 4 miles.
happy trails :)

Thank you, ZECILKL, I walked 4 mi. this morning. Yes, in pain, but when the pain I made it home.

I found out what caused me to fall. Check this out! I was with my psyc. today, and he saw my eye. He wanted to know what happened. When I told him how proud I was of my new, "shape ups", He like goes into explaining how they work. If I don't put my heal down first, then there is a good chance I will fall face first! I need to wear it like a rocking chair.
So now that I know, I should not be making that mistake again.

God Bless all of You!
Marie

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I am still hurting and i have a scar on my face but I am still walking.
