It's still a little tender, especially after being encased in winter boots all day (no getting around that), and it's certainly given me an out for not exercising the last couple weeks. Since the towels were dirty anyway, I probably should have wiped up the water -- except...I can't say with 100 percent certainty it was water, and not an accident left by someone's dog. <br /><br />Sadly, that has happened. Not in my current building, but at the old place, and management did nothing when I reported seeing people allowing their dogs to urinate in the basement without cleaning it up. Sooo glad I don't live there any more!<br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad you didn't suffer severe head trauma/amnesia or more serious injuries in your fall. And yay! for your sister coming to hold your hand.

Glad you didn't break anything and hopefully ice and heat alternated with some Motrin will take care of the sprain. Although, I know sprains can be more painful than a break! Ouch. ((hugs)) Next time, sacrifice a towel to cover those wet spots on the cement floor--and stay safe! Whew-wee.<br /><br />My real sigh of relief came last week when I was with Bear getting groceries and the cashier told me about a friend of her mother's who fell and hit her head and lost most of her permanent memory. The poor woman couldn't remember her husband or their house and why they had dogs when she didn't like dogs. OMG. A simple fall and then everything you know about your life is gone. After that little story, I was like, Holy Crap! I am very very thankful I only broke my nose. <br /><br />The other good thing is I didn't need that many stitches to fix up my forehead cuts. Maybe like 10 or 15. Whew. They were deep little suckers and the doctor in ER said they couldn't use Dermabond and it would require sutures. My sister drove down to the ER from across town and I was shocked to see her there as it was like 10 or 11pm by then, but she was great, holding my hand as they stitched me up. Aww, I loves my big sis. I hope her hand is better now after I squeezed the life outta it. lol<br /><br />All I know is one thing, the next time I write a story and the hero or heroine breaks their nose, there's going to be more than a drop or two of blood (like in the movies and TV) because the truth is those damn broken noses bleed worse than a stuck pig! Yikes! lol Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05331887972977291676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3019911968480238618.post-61140074862704413862013-02-21T01:21:02.489-05:002013-02-21T01:21:02.489-05:00Omigosh!

That is so much worse than my recent slip on the basement stairs, and I'm suddenly feeling even luckier than I was feeling that night. <br /><br />I was doing laundry a couple weeks ago (and yes, this proves housework can be hazardous to one's health). When I went down to put the second load in the washer, I noted drops of water on the floor, a couple feet out. It didn't look like they were coming from the machine, and I couldn't tell if one of the pipes in the apartment above was leaking. <br /><br />Anyway, I skirted around them, but when I went down to move the towels into the dryer, I must have stepped in one of those water droplets. As I started walking back up the <i>uncarpeted</i> stairs, the sole of my canvas slip-ons slipped and my right instep came down HARD on the edge of a step, while the edge of my right hand struck another. <br /><br />I was worried about a possible sprained ankle or break, but that definitely pales with breaking one's nose. So glad you did not injure yourself more seriously, and glad you are on the mend! Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17700809709293636333noreply@blogger.com
