Funnies from the past 24 hours (a little long to read)

I posted this in my journal, but I thought it was pretty darn amusing and wanted to share... First, I was in the bathroom and needed to sit up a little bit on the toilet. Silly me tried to use the towel rack and pulled it down. It broke, I tensed, I screamed bloody murder and wanted to die from the pain and mom came to the rescue. As I sat on the toilet, trying to control my breathing, mom fixed it. Ok, so round two of this ordeal. Tried yet again to get up. This time I grabbed not the rod, but the porcelain fixture. It came right out of the wall. It broke off the wall, I screamed blood murder and wanted to die from the pain and mom came to the rescue. As I sat on the toilet still... mom took the stuff out and somehow managed to squeeze the walker into the bathroom (yes I have a walker that a friend loaned to me and it ******g rocks). So this way I can use it to get up easier and to place my tongs and cottonnelle wipes within reach. (ask what the tongs are for if you are dying to know). I debated going to bed because I cannot be comfortable in bed. I can lay relatively flat now, but it makes for an extremely difficult time getting up. Propping myself up on pillows doesn't work well because it doesn't support my sore back (that is overcompensating for supporting my front). So, I had a brilliant idea. I had Eric get the cushion from one of the chairs. We also got 2 oversized pillows from the couch. Laid those against the headboard first and put the big cushion over it. I got in bed, slightly elevated my legs with another pillow and leaned back (sitting up) on the cushion. Worked like magic! I still can't sleep for more than 4 hours though. Last funny I brought my crushed up meds in from the bathroom (Boyfriend crushes a dose before bed in case I need it in the middle of the night, which I have everyday). So I brought the capful in to the 2nd bedroom with Propel fitness water in tow to mix it and a stick to stir it. I accidentally spilled half the powder on the desk. I seemed to have gotten most of it up. I just have to warn mom not to lick the stuffed owl or anything on the desk (not that she would) So, there you go, my funniest day in a long time. I am proud of myself.

Marcie, Nice job! I can totally relate to the towel rack incident! However I wasnt on the toilet but was on a ladder painting. I started to slip off and grabbed the porcelain end of the towel holder and off the wall it came. Needless to say, I fell and although I didnt hurt myself, I felt like such an idiot. I am always so glad no one is around when I have some of those funny "Amy" moments. Hope you are tong-less very soon ! Amy
