CAN YOU SAY STUPID BLIND FOOL?

CAN YOU SAY STUPID BLIND FOOL? I CAN. LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I DID TODAY. BUT PROMISE NOT TO LAUGH, PLEASE? FIRST, THIS ALL HAS TO DO WITH THE MANAGER OF MY FLOOR, OB/GYN/L&D/NURSERY. SHE RECENTLY GOT MARRIED AND HER NEW HUSBAND ABSOLUTELY REFUSES TO MOVE TO THE BEACH, SO KELLY IS MOVING. WE THE STAFF DECIDED TO GIVE HER A GOING AWAY PARTY, I WAS IN CHARGE OF ORGANIZING IT. ALL PLANS WERE MADE TO EVERYONES SATISFACTION. HERE'S WHERE IT ALL GOES DOWN HILL, FOR ME AT LEAST. WENT TO LOWE'S FOOD STORE TODAY TO ORDER A COLDCUT AND CHEESE PLATTER FOR THE PARTY. GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND STARTED WALKING ACROSS THE PARKING LOT. DIDN'T SEE THE LITTLE CEMENT BARRIER THAT THEY HAD PLACED IN FRONT OF THE HANDICAP PARKING SPACE. YOU GUESSED IT, I TRIPPED AND WENT FLYING FACE FIRST, HANDS AND KNEES SECOND ONTO THE PAVEMENT. NOW I'VE LOST 77# BUT I'M STILL OVER WEIGHT, SO WHEN 236# LANDS ON KNEES YOU LAND HARD. I WAS SO STUNED I COULDN'T GET UP RIGHT AWAY. LUCKY FOR ME A VERY NICE COUPLE HAPPENED TO BE WALKING TO THEIR CAR AND HELPED ME UP. I THANKED THEM PROFUSELY THEN HOBBLED INTO THE STORE AND PLACED MY ORDER. WHEN I GOT HOME I DID A LOOK OVER. HOLY S_ _T, THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY FACE, MY RIGHT HAND AND BOTH KNEES ARE MINUS ABOUT AND INCH OF SKIN. GOT IN THE SHOWER, WASHED GRAVEL OUT, PUT ANTIBIOTIC OINTMENT AND BANDAGES ON. NOW I'M SITTING HERE STIFF AS CAN BE AND LAUGHING WHEN I THINK OF HOW I MUST HAVE LOOKED FLYING OVER THAT D_ _ N BARRIER. I'M OLD, 51 BUT NOW I FEEL LIKE A NINETY YEAR OLD WOMEN W/ BAD ARTHRITIS. MOM LAUGHS EVERY TIME SHE SEES ME GET UP AND WALK OR SHOULD I SAY SHUFFLE. MORAL OF THE STORY? WHATCH WHERE YOU'RE WALKING, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO JUMP OUT IN FRONT OF YOU AND TRIP YOU UP. DONNA, SFY I

Oh, Donna...how aweful. You must be in so much pain. Hope that you feel better tomorrow. Guess we better star****ching where we are walking. Take Care. Hugs, Tabby

HEY TABBY, THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN. I'M ACTUALLY MORE SORE TODAY THAN I WAS YESTERDAY BUT THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED. NOW WHEN I THINK ABOUT WHAT I DID I FEEL LIKE A DAMN FOOL. I GUESS I'D BETTER GET MY GLASSES CHECKED THEY'RE ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD. DONNA, SFY

Ok I'm evil but... I WANT PICTURES!! Come on lets see those boo boos!!! Seriously though I hope you are ok. I have done that a few times lately but luckily in the privacy of my own home. Doesn't help when your 6 year old laughs his head off at you though *sigh*. *HUGS* Felicia =0)

I'M SORRY, NO PICTURES ALLOWED. IF I WERE TO SHOW THEM TO YOU EVERYONE WHOULD WANT TO SEE, THEN I'D HAVE TO CHARGE ADMISSION, THEN I'D HAVE TO START PAYING TAXES SINCE THEY'RE SO FANTASTIC. SO ON AND SO ON. YOU GET THE PICTURE,(no pun intended) OH NO THAT'S RIGHT I DIDN'T SEND THEM. IT SEEMS LIKE ALOT OF US HAVE HAD THAT PROBLEM, FALLING I MEAN. FEEL WORSE TODAY, VERY SORE AND STIFF. GONNA GET IN THE HOT TUB AND SOAK MY OWWIES AWAY. DONNA, SFY

Dang Nab It! Thought I had found a sneaky way for us to get a peek atcha!! lolol. Sorry you are worse today. But hey just think worse today means better tomorrow!! *huggles* Felicia =0)

Oh my gosh, I feel your pain. I was going into a Dollar General one day and stepped up onto the sidewalk and tripped. I hit hard and the glasses went flying down the sidewalk. I got up as quick as I could and tried to act like nothing was wrong, but I was so shaken up. Got home and found the scrapes. And boy was I sore for a few days. We are just not made to fall when we get older!!!! It is nice you can laugh about it now but I am sure at that point it was not funny. Hope you are not too stiff in the morning and you are able to get a good nights sleep. Enjoy the party extra now since you know what you went through to get it just right.........Take care.....Gay

GAY, TRIPPING SEEMS TO BE THE THEME W/ ALL OF US. WE'VE ALL DONE IT ONE TIME OR THE OTHER. I ALSO WEAR GLASSES AND THAT'S WHY THE DORSAL SIDE OF MY RIGHT HAND IS MISSING SKIN, I TRIED TO PROTECT THE GLASSES OR SHOULD I SAY MY SIGHT. ALL IS FUZZY W/O THE GLASSES. STIFF, SORE AND FEELING LIKE AND IDIOT TODAY. BANDAGES ARE OF TO LET THE SCRAPS AIR DRY. HAD A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP THOUGH, I TOOK TWO EXTRA STREGTH TYLENOL AND 12.5 mg OF PHENERGAN. A BOMB COULD HAVE GONE OFF BESIDE MY BED AND I WOULDN'T HAVE HEARD IT. THANKS FOR YOU CONCERN. DONNA, SFY

Awwwwww....you poor thing!!! Sorry you ended up with scrapes and bruises...and minus skin! Hope you aren't still all stiff and sore tomorrow....and that you have a good time at the party!!! Take care!! And, watch where you are going!!! Susan

Hi susan, yeah, very sore and stiff. But tylenol every four hours is helping. I think my ego is more bruised than my knees, hands and face. The party will have some good healthy food but for a sad reason. No one in the dept wants our manager to leave, including the manager herself. But I guess you go where your husband goes, as you well know. Thanks for your concern donna, sfy
