Klutz Here. Just Ignore the Bruising.
You ever heard of clumsy before?
You know, the people who end up busting their asses when
they don’t mean to?
Points to chest. Yep,
that would be me.
My family and I had a get together this weekend. Family came and I had the grandbaby there,
too. (YES! Love my little girl. She’s almost 3.) We have two barns. A big one and a little one which is the one
my hubby cooks at sometimes. Well, he
cooked Saturday.
I went out there with my youngest son and the grandbaby. As I was turning to go back to the
house, me and my feet decided to do a zombie dance around the butane
bottle.
1 for the bottle – 0 for
Judith.
I fell, sitting on the lip of the bottle. It dug into the back of my thigh then I slowly did a roll to the left--which to me is amazing since I was facing the left to begin with. In slow motion, I dropped the foot or so to the concrete where I did a little bounce. The food on my plate…yeah, flew up and splattered.
Oh, and did I cry?
Nope. Sticks out chest with pride. I was strong.
I wanted to bawl like a new born but Granddaughter was watching.
And she loves her Ma big time.
So I hopped up, exclaiming, “I’m fine! I’m good!”
I helped to clean up the mess and prepared another
plate. I even managed to walk to the house
with no further accidents. Of course, I
went straight to the medicine cabinet where I took some Advil.
The next morning, I could barely move. There were bruises where I really didn’t
think there would be bruises. But I’m good.
Just another day in the life of a klutz!!!

Your granddaughter probably thinks you're superwoman.
Hope you feel better soon.
Ren, I walked into the corner of a wall twice in one year. Had to have stitches both times. Yes. I'm that way.
:D She thinks I'm the bomb!
The animation was appropriate. :D
Alternating hot and cold packs is supposed to help with the bruising.
I have a tendency to lose my balance for no apparent reason sometimes--nothing medical, just clumsy. Luckily there's usually a wall right there to catch me.
