So sorry you are still in pain from that fall, Hols. Meanwhile, try not to strain yourself!

I'm really unable to do most things Pinks.. without serious pain, even coughing or sneezing is agony, so I have little choice but to do as little as possible. While my daughter was here I drove her around for 2 days , on the day she left I almost collapsed with the extra strain I put on the injury..so now I'm doing my best to do as little as possible until she arrives here again in 3 weeks time

Oh no! I am so sorry. How long do these injuries take to heal? Why are you doing stuff?

Do you know why you fell? And, I suppose there is nothing the docs can do? I am such a baby, I would be doing nothing until I healed. Oh, wait, hmm, I would be doing less than nothing, cause I pretty much do nothing now 😂.

Feel better, hope you got pills to make you feel better.

I have to have frozen packs on the injured areas every 2 hours ( which I do) .. take anti- inflammatories, ( for a max of 10 days due to the potential for stomach bleeds) and painkillers.. and expect to wait up to 2 months for it to heal...

Yes I fell off the bed.. do not laugh, it's not what you think.. :LOL:..I stood on the bed to clean the coving around the ceiling with a duster , the mattress is very springy, I started to fall, and reached out to grab something to stop me falling, and missed, and I somersaulted into the air ( I've never even done that as a kid) but I did a full somersault worthy of a place on the olympic gymnastic team .. and down onto the floor onto my head and then onto my back.. !! It was singularly the most painful think that's ever happened to me including a 3 day labour!! :eek:
 
Well, this morning, wife is making blueberry pancakes. I made a few sausage links, some fried potatoes and a nice Bloody Mary for breakfast. We will be watching both The Masters and NFL games.

Oh no! and you took another fall not too long before then, if I recall correctly. Do be careful, Hols 🤗

I did, yes... ...full on my face out in the garden in June... !! :( It tore up my shoulder which had only just recovered when I fell again... I have never fallen like this before in all my 65 years, and both of these especially this last one have now made me quite scared to walk around energetically as I would normally. I can now understand how older people get so nervous and take to using walking aids, after they've had a fall in fear of having another

I understand the nervousness after having falls during winter a couple of years ago. I'm very cautious of how and where I step now.

Hope you heal well. Take care ❤️
 
Well, it's 11 AM, and Betty II is late for brunch-AGAIN!!! I still haven't picked out what script I want for my starring role. I told you to tell MGM, Sony and Warner that I would call them back later. Geesh!. If it's not Hollywood, it's the Pentagon calling. I'm out of the spy business. You'd think making a billion dollars would be hard, but investing it is a lot harder. My broker is driving me crazy.
Then I wake up, and can't find my teeth.
 
Watching the Masters a bit and putting down some wagers on NFL. Worked out and getting toward 15000 steps after a couple of days slacking.
Cleaning out my email and prepping for the week later tonight

went out last night and had a steak and vodka martini dinner. So bad for me but so good after all the strict living.

Oh no Holly. You posted earlier, you are "praying to all things holy that the new year brings peace and good health". I'm praying that for you too...the sooner the better. I'm just catching up here as I've been listing and selling my home...and moving. Please take care of yourself. I've missed you.

@Lara good to see you again. Are you all moved in? Are you happy with your new place?
 
I have moved into my daughters house out in the countryside since it's available for as long as I want she said. She moved to the beach. The beach is where I'm headed but having a hard time finding my "forever home" (I'll never move again, it wasn't easy). Missed you RadishRose.

@hollydolly , buy some "Brooks" tennis shoes. They're stylish, supportive, and super comfortable if you buy the more expensive model (it's worth it). Make sure they're the right size and not loose at all. Practice picking up your feet like marching, slow-down, and eat your greens for focus. I started doing all that and now I'm much better. They cost about $120 USdollars at DSW. If England doesn't have them then just search for supportive comfortable firm-fitting shoes....not too big, not too small.

I Don't Want to do Laundry Today! Yes, I Know it's all piled up, but I Don't Want to Do It! Lemme alone, OK? Go Away, Stop Bothering Me!

(That's me talking to myself, or should I say whining?)

I did our dark clothes this morning and LOL, survived the ordeal.

On the other hand, in your case that laundry will be perfectly happy sitting in the basket patiently waiting for you. It will not have hurt feelings. So, treat yourself to a day off, it is the final day of the Masters, and that is a always good excuse.

Oooh I'm so pleased to see you mi amiga Lara... and so glad you've managed to get moved now too to the country .... this forum is not the same without you.. 🧡...

As for the shoes.. I'll have a search for those, never heard of them so I'm not sure if they're available here but I'll look. In the last instance, they wouldn't have helped me because I was on the bed, therefore no shoes.. but anyhoo, I'll go research.. (y)

Ouch, that hurts even to read about.
Take care of yourself and recover.
