Hello All, I just had to share another embarrassing moment.Well I have done pretty well so far with my weight loss and no major complications and I thank God everyday. Friday however was a bad day. First let me begin Thursday I went to work felt good and about a half hour I am there I started to feel weird. Off balance , dry mouthed, disoriented a bit so I left came home had a small meal , some water thinking this will help. Well I ended going to the ER because I just didn't feel right. After 8 hours I find out all my blood work is excellent except I have low blood sugar and a ear infection again that makes 8 since my surgery. Well I started feeling better Friday so I went for a walk that evening.On my way home I saw a friend In my drive way about to leave because I wasn't home so I decided to run and catch them before they left. I was almost there when I loss my balance and fell forward.I took a hard fall face first.Of coarse my friend who hadn't noticed me waving and calling there name sure saw me take a fall. I was and am so embarrassed. Ruined the only pair of jeans that fit me. Both knees are scraped up Left palm also worst of all is my left elbow has no skin left on it.I just laid there laughing at myself.Thank goodness it was dark and hardly anyone else saw me.Instantly everyone is asking me is it my sugar is it this or that. I just smile and think not everything that happens to me now is wls related.This wls has made me healither,it hasn't improved my clumsiness lol.I am just one of those accident prone people. I am happy with who I am and where I am right now.Even the embarrassing moments in life are worth it.Did I mention I had a interview Saturday I looked real good all bruised up ,scraped up lol My chin has a small scrap and a bruise. Does anyone else have days like this?I have been laughing at myself all weekend. Take Care Trish

and the good news is that you had a lot less weight behind the fall, so it could of been a lot worse... Its funny I still find myself turning sideways to fit through small gaps. I too am accident prone, I look like a dalmation these days, I seem to bruise a lot easier and my legs are constantly different shades of black and blue. Hope you are feeling better soon Lee

Oh my gosh, Trish, I'm glad you are OK. Yes, we definitely have to see the humor in these things. Hope your interview went well and that you get the job. Got my fingers crossed for you. Mary

Well thank goodness you are ok, with only a bruised ego and some other superficial scrapes to match. I'm not too graceful myself. Just two weeks ago I tried(unsuccessfully) to piroette from my steps and landed in my driveway. I scraped my left foot, calf and knee and elbow. I was bummed about ripping my cute lounging pants. My daughter freaked cause I was crying...I am a bit dramatic. Yeah, I'm a little clumsy...the bull in the china shop. The good thing is that my ass doesn't clear tables when I walk by like it used to. Be delicate and careful. Denise
