Doesn't it suck to be injured? You know I - literally - feel your pain! I think sometimes the pain of accidents like that doesn't really hit us for a day or too, possibly because we're focused on the main injury, so the other stuff doesn't surface right away.
I'm glad Dan is there to take care of you and I hope you're able to heal quickly!
Yep you sure are a lucky wife
Suzy, oh you are so right! It sucks; I can't remember the last time I've had a fall and I've never had one like this. Stupid of me, really. Dan very sensibly went across the lawn but I tried to take a shortcut by going across some landscaping, flowers and shrubs and that was just stupid of me because I couldn't see where I was stepping. I went flying. I had my purse on my arm with my sunglasses case inside. I hit SO hard that there is a big dent in the case. The glasses are okay but those cases are HARD, really hard and it's so dented now that it won't close anymore. Maybe I landed on it, I don't know. Anyway...yeah, it sucks. I'm not 20 anymore and I'm not bouncing back.
Dan says I'm going to be stiff and sore for a few weeks. 
SUCKS!
I hope you are healing well now too.
Butterflies...{{{{{{hugs}}}}}
We are both lucky; to have had the love of a good man. So many women cannot say that but *we* can.
sometimes I can't believe what a bitch I am when I think of ANY time I've gotten on Sam's case about some stupid little thing he's done (or not done) that has gotten on my nerves... because I am sooooooooooooooooooooo SO fortunate and just... blessed to have him!! just as you are to have Dan
it's a really nice feeling!!
I hope your knee is feeling better... knee injuries SUCK!! nobody knows that better than ME haaaa
I've probably spent 1/3 of my life on crutches
You are a lucky woman and he is lucky, too. I know you both look after and care for one another because you love each other so much. That's what makes "it work."
Our grass dips down a bit from our sidewalk in the backyard and I was rushing to catch my husband one morning as he left and I "fell off" the sidewalk. I landed hard. Really hard. I landed on my elbow and I think I messed up my shoulder a bit, perhaps slightly dislocated it because it popped back in later and I could move more. But oh how that hurt! I scraped my knee, too. What a mess. He jumped out of the vehicle and came running. I was so shocked and stunned I just couldn't move or speak much. So, I know just what you went through or are going through and well, it stinks. But you have Dan, and isn't it wonderful to have his care?! He knows what's best.
I like feeling slick after shaving for the 0.05 seconds before my hair starts growing back. I swear I've got yeti in my genes.
Sorry to hear about your fall. I think everyone feels 10x worse the day *after*, once the muscles have settled into their pattern of silent screaming.
the shaving thing...
o.m.g.
i feel you there.
for me...it's not like anything else.
Oh i forgot to say that I hope your leg gets better quickly.
It IS horrible falling over and its one of my biggest worries..
Hey waxing is the best.It lasts for a mth and regrowth is very soft,like fairydown...
Some ppl are addicted to tattoos..I like to be waxed.It doesnt really hurt..and feels so nice afterwards.
haaa subtle - me too!! that slickness lasts with me just about long enough for us both to enjoy it that night... usually by the next day I'm starting to itch and be uncomfortable
my sister and I were talking the other day about the possibility of getting laser hair removal 'down there'
seems like a GREAT idea... at least for the bikini line type thing - I'd get it lasered bald - she expressed concern for changing trends - like what if that big 70's bush comes back in... I was like uh... who cares? I didn't realize anyone worried about pubic hair style trends haaaa
I don't care what's in style - I have no interest in EVER looking like I'm smuggling illegal aliens across the border in my underwear
oh p.s. Amber I wish Dan was around the last time I fell and hurt my knee... he probably could have given me better advice than the doctor
I severely sprained my knee and the doctors advice was to stay off it and keep it in whatever position is most comfortable - after about 5 days of that my knee froze in that position... and if I thought the sprain hurt... the process of UNfreezing it was like something some sadistic nazi would have come up with to torture people
Kitty's comments about trends for private areas is a good one. I can't imagine ever going back and really...there are trends for that?! I definitely would not be a new trend setter then.
I know some people who are outspoken about keeping it bare and I have no idea why they are sharing that with me. Wha--? I totally agree but it's a rather private discussing.
Permanent laser removal of pubic hair is the rage but verrrrry pricey. If I win the lottery, I'm first in line!
I've had the waxing done, too, but it does hurt (more initially) is quite time-consuming and frequency depends on personal hair growth. For me, it returns too quickly.
I can maintain the shaving more easily and daily.
(Boy, I'm sharing a lot! But, I'm a huge advocate of bare. Let me hear 'ya sisters!)
Kitty, we are blessed to have our men, aren't we?
And I can't believe what a bitch I've been sometimes to Dan. It's been a long time since I've done that, though. I don't count the "come to Jesus meeting" over his moping around, heh. That was warranted, I wasn't being a bitch. But other times, whew! I CAN be and I look back and cringe and wonder why he puts up with me.
Elizabeth, I know exactly how you felt when you fell, that's just how I felt, too.
Subtle, haha! My hair grows back quickly too but I did have a good 24 hours without any at all. It was great!
Lady Godiva, you're right, it's really special.
Butterflies, I worry a lot about falling too. I'm very careful and that's another reason why I was so surprised; it's been ages since I've fallen, honestly, 20 years or more at least. Sucks! Thanks for the good wishes.
Kitty, argh about the doctor telling you not to move your knee; I slammed into a fence during a jumping show and fractured my ankle; they put a cast on it for 6 weeks and when they took it off, the ankle had "frozen". You're right, the phys therapy hurt like a !@#$%#@; horrible pain. I asked once, through my tears, why it hurt so much? He said because they were purposely ripping up all the scar tissue.
Greeeeaaaat.
Elizabeth, I got waxed once many years ago; never never again. A very painful process for me; all my capillaries burst, the entire skin area was mottled for several days afterwards, it was so atrociously ugly and *sore*. Never again.
I couldn't even start physical therapy until my knee unfroze - which took about a week... I had to sit with my leg elevated and straight out to let gravity pull my knee back down into a straight position... because the first week I had been keeping it bent to the side because it was the only position that wasn't killing me
keeping it straight meant I could feel the shit inside it tearing slowly - I swear I thought I could HEAR it!! haaaa
the worst part was that my bedroom was on the second floor... I had to go up and down the stairs to get to the bathroom or the kitchen!! - the stairs that I fell down to sprain my knee in the first place
and I was home alone most days
that was like 10 years ago and I'm STILL afraid of those stairs!! - whenever I need anything upstairs in my mother's house I get Sam to get it for me haaaa
but speaking of physical therapy... I've required it several times in my life - and only fully followed through with it once - which means of course that at the ripe old age of 36 I hobble around like I'm 80
now I'm sure to tell everyone if they EVER require physical therapy - GO!! and finish it out!! I don't think you ever fully recover without it
as for waxing... I tried to wax myself once... I started with my leg because I figured the skin it tougher there
HA!! I don't know what the hell I did but I wound up removing a layer of skin!! it hurt like hell - I can't imagine if I had done that to my bikini area
Kitty, it gives "vunerability" new meaning.
Not that it's a bad thing, it just is the way it is.
