el clutzo strikes again

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

Sorry you're hurting.

What IS the matter with us all? Are we all on self destruct?

Take care. I got an electric heat pad for my ribs, which has helped a lot - not all that expensive, and I`m sure that someone in the family will need one from time to time!

Us clutzes need to stick together!

I saw my ortho because my ankles have been sore on and off all fall...thought it might be related to the FMS, but wanted to double check.

Nope! It's lumps on the ligaments in my ankles, from all the spraining I've done to them over the years.

Youch! You make sure you baby that shoulder for a few days to let it heal. Hmmm, let's see....I know! You can stitch! :):):) See? There's always a bright side to things!

((((((((((((cocoa)))))))))))))

Oh moan! hugs - gentle hugs!

Oooh you have my sympathy. I hurt my shoulders 7 years ago in a car accident and still have trouble now. You don't realise how much you use your shoulders until they hurt when you do!

Rest and I hope your pain diminishes soon,

I'll second that. Mine tend to lock in the down position, making getting dressed a real contortionist exercise. Never mind trying to get a mug from the cupboard shelf. Fortunately, XS in-hand does not require movement in the shoulders (though working on scrolls does) -- thank God for minis and ornaments!

So sorry. Be careful. Rest, ice, painkillers, whatever. Don't lift things over the side of the truck. And feel better,

Well, at least now I can get DH to do most of the housework for a few days (weeks?).. more time to sit & stitch!

Ah, now that's the right silver lining!

Take care, Ellice

Sounds to me like you have the perfect excuse to simply sit and stitch, with some medicinal chocolate nearby.

And I second Caryn's thought, we clutzos need to stick together. I fell on the ice/packed snow not once, but *twice* on my way across campus today. And I can't even blame the beer, as this was before I got to the club. LOL. I did manage to avoid falling on the wrist that has carpal tunnel, so that's something. (Nothing compared to a torn shoulder muscle, I'm sure!)

Poor thing. Well, at least if after the beer you'd just relax and bounce 'n roll. So, aside from not wearing a jacket, you've just got to give up on the spike heels, eh! Or do we take up a collection to send you the grippy things that go over your shoes so you can walk on ice.

Personally, I'm totally paranoid about such things, and having had a couple of leg sureries that meaan no-weight bearing casts - in the winter - yuck.

Hope the bruises were only to your dignity.

Ellice - who still likes to wear her clogs in the snow, but, but, ...

The thing is, I wasn't even wearing stupid "girl" boots - no heel, lots of traction. (Granted I like boots with nice heels as much as the next girl, just not practical for walking around here.) However, nothing really gives you traction on ~1 in of ice. Well, maybe skates would. And the temps were back down to -20 C yesterday, so I was wearing the appropriate outerwear this time. ;-)

I completely understand, as I'm paranoid about falling and catching myself w/my wrists.

I was a bit stiff this morning, but no bruises. I was pretty amused by the reaction of my companion when I fell - a fellow grad student, about

Oh, so do I, I just don't like the wet socks that are a result.
