Oh Dear.... The Freak Accident

[aim]

((((Gaze)))) I am so sorry that I have not been around for so long! What's going on - are you ok? I hope whatever you were waiting for turned out ok - please do let us know, ok?

I know you would not do anything rash - you are incredibly too smart and fiery to do that!

Please let us know all is ok... and I'm sorry you are sad.

Hi there aim! I just wanted to update this post... I was a little accident prone last week/weekend before this past one, but it wasn't so bad this time.

I hit into things a little as usual, but no where near as bad as before....

I finally got that thing in the mail, but I haven't tried it out yet. I am preparing. When I do, I will let every one know on here how it went....

[aim]

Refresh my memory, gaze... the mail? What did you receive?

Don't worry so much about being clumsy. Some of the most amazing people in the world might just be clumsy in the privacy of their own homes, don't you think?

[crystalgaze]

Yes, some amazing people can be very clumsy....

It's just that it's a pain & it gets in the way & then you hurt yourself in some random lame how-in-the-world-did-that-happen sort of way.... (Hah???)

I'm still recovering from my owwie I got in the laundry the other day! I'm taking out my clothes out of the machine & manage to cut myself some how....

Edit: Oh yes... The thing in the mail is something I will try (nothing harmful) & then post about how I felt....

[aim]

Do you ever get mystery bruises? I have one on my knee right now... could it have been when I went food shopping on Saturday? I swear, sometimes I move faster than my brain can keep up with!

[crystalgaze]

Yes! I have a mystery bruise on my ankle... well, scar... right now!!! & I have NO idea where it came from at all! I don't recall hitting myself or any thing... Humph... so much for that.... xD

Other than that, I haven't been clumsy in a while, even after wearing high heeled shoes & stilettos.... (I made sure to walk very very carefully....)

[aim]

Stilettos! I'm impressed!! I don't recall ever wearing stilletos actually... Maybe it's because I feel tall enough already, or maybe it's the fear of sore feet and tripping and falling on my face... not sure which one!!

My freak accident for today is getting a cut on my left pinky toe while moving the vacuum....

(That thing is kind of heavy...) I hit my foot while moving the vacuum, didn't think anything was wrong, & then feel a burning/stinging sensation in my foot.

I look down & I'm bleeding. I think to myself, "Wow... It's been a long time, since I had an accident or got a cut...."

It was almost like I was seeing it for the 1st time....

[crystalgaze]

Let's see.... I nearly dropped my banana, but I caught it mid-air.... (Nice save! I thought....)

There might still be some hope for me yet to be half decent at sports.

oh jeeze (((onika )))),you dropped your narna lol,,,hugs love ken xxx

[crystalgaze]

I've basically been hitting my hands or what now... Nothing too serious but a tad annoying....

I'm doing something.... Merrily along I am rolling.... BAM! Ow!

I continue along... Every thing is going nicely.... Organizing well.... Bam! Ow! You get the idea.....

I was refilling my aromatherapy oil bottles & I chipped my nail trying to pull one of the inner stoppers out of the bottle...... Of course, I used something harder after that to save my already short nails. (That doesn't usually happen.)

[crystalgaze]

I scraped my thigh on the vacuum cleaner.... It was SO RANDOM!!

[hollyann]

ouch ((((((crystal)))))))

[crystalgaze]

I.... scraped my ~other~ thigh on the same vacuum cleaner again.... (It was in a different spot in the living room.) It's such a nasty looking cut...

(Gee.... When will I learn?)


About a week ago, one night, I had a really bad fall. I've been monitoring myself then. I do have a skin bruise/dark spot on my leg. It seems to be disappearing.

Well.... I saw a cockroach high up on the wall and got spooked. There was lots of rain, so there were lots of bugs in the house recently.

As much as I don't like to do it because chemicals are harmful, the day after the fall, I did pick up the spray can and spray the doors and windows. Truthfully, I'll probably continue to do so, until the house is orderly enough for the exterminators to come. (I still have things in the chairs and on the table/countertops.)

Anyway, I walked past where the cockroach was and when I came back, it was gone--or so I thought. It was high on the wall above the bookshelf....

I got up the seemingly bright idea to spray around the bookshelf.... & then, that's when it happened: The cockroach jumped out from the tiny space behind the bookshelf! I'm just glad it didn't jump ON ME.... I think I would've truly been mortified. (Just yuck!)

My reaction was: "scream and jump away". Normally, I'm not so spooked, but I just wasn't really expecting to have anything jump out at me really.... Also, the cockroach came a few days after seeing 2 centipedes up in the roof in my room (which I HAVE NEVER seen them up in the roof) & just shy of my bed to boot. (Maybe that's how the other centipede got in my bed months ago! You DO NOT want to get bitten by those things.)

In the same day as the cockroach, I sprayed a centipede that was near the door. Just moments after seeing the roach, I saw yet another centipede on the wall across from the light switch to the hallway, just before the bathroom. My normal response to any kind of bug is: "Where's my spray can?"

Jumping away is what caused the fall and I had done so before I knew it and could even think about it. I jumped too far backwards, which resulted in bumping into a low, calf-high end table that, in my moment of fright, I didn't remember was there.

The rest is history. I really, really lost my balance, fell back onto the things on the table, and hit the back left part of my head against the wall. As if that just weren't enough, I STILL fell face-first on the floor. It was just a serious moment of disorientation. I don't want one of those again.

I have requested that we get rid of some of the furniture in the house, as I feel some of it is excessive. If where I lived were entirely mine to do what I please with it, that end table would not have been in the house period or at least not been in that spot. It's really cumbersome where it is.

Long story short, I'm glad for life. I haven't taken such a bad fall ever in life until that time. I will definitely have to get my brain checked at some point.

I'm not sure what to do about my accident-proneness.... It is becoming a bother....


Edit: I did hit my head in the shower the other day while grabbing for the soap.... (D'oh!)

[crystalgaze]

The other day I managed to hit my leg on a piece of furniture while walking by it. I thought I was far enough from & then "WAP!". It hurt a little bit & left a nasty cut....

My eyebrow also got messed up after waxing & some aloe vera gel (clear) from the plant itself worked wonders in about 2 applications for me. The same thing happened with the aforementioned cut & some random red spots I had on my leg. Everything is healing up nicely.
