When Is the Last Time You Fell?... Just Curious So, I was walking into work this morning and slid and fell in the middle of the street. I scurried to get up because it went through my brain that I could get hit. Ahhh! Anyway, just sore and slightly embarrassed because there was a bus that pulled up at the light. Can I just add that I did not realize that the street was pure ice until I hit the ground? :eek: Just love this 9 degree weather and ice! Anyway, that got me to thinking that some of you might have stories too. When is the last time you fell? Any interesting stories out there in YT land? Thanks. You know misery loves company... |
Ouch! I'm glad you were not injured, Lisa. My mother broke her wrist that way, so I am paranoid. One of my worst falls was walking out the front door to take puppy Max for a walk. We have 3 brick steps with no railing. I was like you and didn't see the ice. My feet went out from underneath me and I landed on my back, hitting my head on the brick. I dropped Max's leash, but thankfully he didn't run off because he was worried about me. Hope you aren't more sore later or have any bruises. Enough of winter! |
Ohhh.....so glad only your pride was hurt and nothing else. As far as your question....I don't remember the last time I fell! I have tripped but never really fallen. Maybe I am part cat! LOL |
A;; you ladies and gents with ice coated walks, driveways, etc, BE CAREFUL!!!! Broken hips, arms and head injuries are of course horrible this time of year.... Personally, my last trip into my commercial style mop pail with ringer, where I broke ribs, was my last major fall.....I have really changed some things I do around here simply because I have deteriorated to all the gracefullness of a hog on ice. |
oh no... glad you didnt get too hurt!!! My story... I had on heels and was at schools (I'm a teacher) and was walking my 6th grade class to the media center. I had the students in a row and was walking backwards at the front to check on their progress. Yes... you guessed it... on my butt!!!! Another time I was running into the house, that house had a front pourch that was converted to a room, we used it as a living room. the pasage between the front room to the main part of the house still had a sliding door-- my dear husband had closed the door--pulling the glass sliding door in place. I hit it full force - running from the front door across the room into the slider.... almost knocked me out. I broke my nose...blood every where. I started screaming I need a towel, my dh brough me a tissue. I had bathtowel amounts of blood and he brought ONE tissue... sigh I told the neighbors he hit me, he got really mad at me. lol |

My mother ran through a glass sliding door in our house. She was on the phone and saw my brother doing something dangerous in a tree outside. The glass broke and she was covered in cuts, thankfully none life threatening. |
Funny you should post this. I fell/tripped about an hour ago. I tripped over the Vacum Cleaner Cord and fell into the arm of the couch hitting my ribs on the right side, still hurting. Damn Cord. |
The last time I remember falling was 2 years ago. I was feeling pretty cute that day in my dress and heels. I came home for lunch, and somehow fell from the top of the stairs that leads to my old apt. I just went head first down 6 steps. The first thing I did was cover myself because as you can imagine, my dress flipped over during the fall. The saddest part was my parents were inside having lunch, heard the commotion, and didn't even bother to check what had happened. I went in bruised knees, wrists, and forearms and bleeding shins. That didn't hurt as much as my parents completely ignoring me as a stood by them once I got inside. I changed into pants and went back to work. |
Oh it hurts just thinking about all the falls and injuries you all have had. Hopefully everyone is OK, Please be careful ! The last time I fell was two years ago, well it wasn't really a fall but more like me getting tossed from the motorcycle when the clutch got stuck. My DH and I were getting ready to leave a parking lot when he put it in natural and rolled backwards and just as he put it in first gear and lets the clutch go I go flying off the back of the bike. I was pissed, embarrassed and hurting all at the same time. The pain wasn't that bad until the following day. I had road burns on my hands, knees and on one of my legs. It took me a good long time to have full use of my leg again. Thank goodness it was nothing serious enough to have to go to the emergency room. We had just gotten the bike out of the shop from having it fixed. Nice Job huh, lets just say we wont be taking it to them again!! I got right back on it and we rode home ! |

So glad you weren't injured in your fall, but just a warning...you may feel it tomorrow. That's how it usually goes! My last fall was just after Christmas when I was working. Went out to get the mail and it is downhill from the building. I'd fallen once before there, so was being extra careful and it was a snowy, windy day. Sure enough...hit some ice and down I went. I was sore on my left side...hip and arm mostly, but after a few days, that went away. Now I don't go out to the mailbox without my snowgrips on my shoes or my snow boots. How I hate winter and ice! |
1 Attachment(s) What a question lol - my last fall was a bad one - really bad...it took me about a year to be fully functional again. But all is GOOD now! No more screeching headaches - just can't be out in the sun without some super SHADES see ??? this was taken on my last trip to Houston for a very long time - this was in Fufu fashions car - |
I fell off a chair a few months ago, trying to hang a quilt so I could take pictures of it. No ice involved, just me and a chair. I hurt in places I did not know existed! And I cracked a scapula. It still hurts. |
I fell about a month ago going out my back door We have a couple of steps and they were slippery from ice. I feel backwards and hit the back of my head on the step. It hurt but now I make sure I shovel those steps so it doesnt turn to ice |
