Fall!

[lexin]

I just fell down (tripped over a cable) and only just got up again. I'm shaking like a leaf.

I'm going to have a key safe outside my house so someone can get in and pick me up.

In other news, my knees are now killing me. And Smokey is hiding.

Ouch? I'm glad you could get yourself up though. Falling is a bitch.

(In related news, for my birthday this year, the partner chick got me a watch that has a "you fell, do you need an SOS"? function. For exactly this.)

I was a bit worried there that I wouldn't be able to get up, but I made it in the end. I'm still quivery though and it's several hours later.

Ooooooops. I hope you recover your equanimity, in all senses. Falling is always scary, even if there's no real damage. (Also, check later to make sure the cable is where it belongs, not unplugged or gone animate and wandering about.)

I predict Smokey will unhide pretty quickly, especially when it's a mealtime.

It's a few hours later and I'm still shocked, but not in pain. I expect that tomorrow. Smokey has reappeared and has gone to sleep.

Sorry to read this but glad you managed to get back up okay. ♥

Thanks!

I'm so glad you were able to get up again. Falling can be terrifying.

It really was nasty, and this morning I discover that I've bruised my nose. I wasn't even aware I'd hit my head.

Ouch, that sounds a bit scary, but good to hear you're on up and about again

[lexin]

It was not nice.

[kotturinn]

Oof. Scary. Glad you managed to get up.

[lexin]

It wasn't easy and has left a big bruise on my knee.

[kotturinn]

Hope all bruises heal easily and that it is all just surface damage. Key safe or local key holder sounds like a good idea.

Ouch. I'm sorry - I know it's both painful and distressing. (OTOH, if my Dad ever had any emotional repercussions from falling down he never mentioned or addressed them, and I think that lead to him taking less preventive measures that he should have had; there's something to be said for being upset as a long-term adaptive reaction.)

It really was nasty and I've bruised my nose. Don't know how I did that.

[marcelo]

Ow :(

Hope you recover soon. Key safe sounds like a good idea.

[lexin]

Thank you! Key safe bought and being installed on Monday. I hope it never happens again, but I want to be prepared in case it does.

oh horrible, falling is so scary. Sending love.

[lexin]

It really was unpleasant. Thank you, I'm so grateful for the support.

[catalenamara]

So sorry you fell. Scary experience!

It really was horrible. Key safe bought and is being installed on Monday.
