Saved by my own A$$ ..I will never ever curse my Bertha ... again...

  ... nope ... NEVER AGAIN... I will thank her 'big assedness' for saving me from literally breaking my neck or my a$$....Yes ... THANK YOU BERTHA!!! ... for cushioning my rear end namely my tail bone and my spine as I slipped and went flying projectile style down the concrete stairs and onto the driveway landing on YOU... lawd... what a jolt ... I am ever grateful that I am slightly hurt but nothing broke....
In the interim:

... my wrist is F'd up ... and the nail on my thumb broke right down the middle and my finger and my nail bed are THROBBING ..... I am seeing stars ...
... In my lifetime I have scraped my knees many of times as I am clumsy as all getup and I have tripped on my own pigeon toes but today I have no idea why and how and where the wet leaf I slipped on came from ... today I have severely bruised and scraped the back of my legs and my Bertha even ripping the fabric of my trousers on my skid ...

I am grateful though...

..Years ago I would have gotten up all embarrassed looking around wondering who saw me fall...wanting the earth to open up and swallow me ... remember just getting up and pretending all is fine and dandy when you really want to hold your f'd up knee from the fall and say OUUUUUCHHHHH? Yup ... I have done that in the past ... took a fall and gotten up and walked away pretending to be all fine and dandy when I was seeing stars and my ouches were hurting...

..Today though I got right up and checked my hands and my hips and my knees and my limbs and my neck and said Thank God when I realized that nothing was broken ... did not give two titties who saw me or how ungracious my fall was ... or that I only scraped my arse real bad ...THANK YOU BERTHA!!! ... YOU WERE THE PILLOW I NEEDED THIS MORNING ... I WILL NEVER CURSE MY BIG ASS AGAIN ...  I could'a broke my neck or sprained my back ... but I didn't .... my Big Bertha rocks...

I had to rush back into the house and I was already running late ... I grabbed the first thing I landed my hands on ... A crocheted shirt that only went well with my crocheted skirt ... I never ever wear repeats less than six months apart ... but shoot ... today was not the day ... I wore the very same skirt I had on over the weekend for a split minute while I took a pic for my journal on the way to my shop .... and I am sitting at my desk typing this ... and my ass hurts! and my finger is ON FIRE!

I am feeling a bit raggedy ... because I got really rattled .. thank goodness for Bertha ... acting as a shock and strut absorber this morning...

My hand has taken a beating since last week ... not only it is the hand that I so injured a couple months ago resulting in a cortisone shot to the tendon ... wait for this ,,, I BURNED THE **** OUT OF IT LAST WEEK AND NOW MY FINGER IS ON FIRE!!!!!!! YIKES MY NAILBED IS THROBBING .... I need my hands to work at my regular job but more so my hands are the tools of my trade ... I need them for weaving and braiding when I fill in at the shop ... for painting... for sewing and especially now as we are using our knifty knitters making hats and scarves for the homeless ... YIKES ..... not my hand pleassssseeeeee!!!



Today I am looking like this knowing that my carcass is going to pay for it tomorrow ... lawd ... if my Bertha weren't big I would have literally broken my arse... jeez...


Yesterday I shared two AWESOME sweaters I purchased at Consignment Originals ... Awesome treasures for $5 I made out like a bandit ... I love that place ... all designer's ..all originals and all in mint condition..

This is the one I wore yesterday ... an Express hand knitted sweater ...

this is the one I wore the day before ... with tights under...


I HATED BULKY CLOTHES ... but with the cold days of the past couple weeks I am looking forward to bulky and warm ...

Another goofy thread ... feel free to ignore ... I am just an old fart having fun and embracing joy ... lawd ... I feel like sitting in a hot tub filled with Epsom salts LOL ... I am sounding like my own Nana...
 

aint no party like a Nana's tea party, heeey...hooo!

Sorry about all your throbbing parts girlie!!  I am not jellis of you today.  I will also not be jellis tomorrow.

Here is for amazing, unnatural healing.  Yowch!

 LOL LOL LOL......... can't wait to get home to hop in the tub.... YOWCH is right! thanks for the laughter ... I needed that...

No matter what, I'll bet your dismount was spectacular!  Glad nothing is broke, and make sure you tend to that nail....you don't want an infection!!.  If you have acrylic on it, try to take it off to assess the damage.

Hugs!

LOL ..spectacular dismount that was ...I tended to the nail not too long ago... no acrylics ..silk wrap which is almost just as bad ... I removed it by soaking in it pure acetone and between the burning and the pain I saw the entire milky way ... that was painful ... it was the only way I could take it off because to touch it was way too painful ... I cut the nail down but it is still spit down the middle ... my friend and co-worker patched me up real good and dressed it ...I will take care of it to avoid infection at all cost...

 You soaked your poor split nail in acetone!  HONEY!  *shudder*

I feel the need for morphine just thinking about it!

You are THE WOMAN!

*edited out of respect for Flying Spaghetti Monster followers.  :}

 I sure did and had tears streaming down my face as I did so ... it helped though... my finger does not hurt as much as the rest of my body does as a matter of fact it was the most painful yesterday but not today ... today my body feels totally crushed ...what does not hurt is numb.. I have huge hematomas ... I think I am going to be a shut-in this weekend and nurse my aching carcass ... girl I feel like I just got hit by a Mack truck ... I I just got home not too long ago and can hardly move ... time to turn in for me ... OUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....

I'm so sorry that you're in pain. It's definitaly not fun.  But I'll tell you one thing.  I wish I had a Bertha like you.  Mine is so small it looks like it should be on a 12 year old instead of 56 year old.  All my pants are to big in the rear.

I would have gladly traded with you yesterday  ... may even love to trade with you tomorrow ... but today BERTHA paved the way LOL ... can you imagine? seriously ... if I had not landed on my butt I would have seriously hurt something ...one thing is for sure 'ya nunca me voy a quejar de mis nalgas grandes' (I will not complain about my big butt again) LOL

 OMG Girl, I am sure you did it looking good as you went down!

I broke my wrist last year and was so bummed, but amazed it is strong again. Be sure and do what the doctors say so it heals right.

Falling is an issue once we loose all our padding for sure. If I fall my bony a** is done for.  

Take care of yourself!!!

Love ya,
Kathy
