Oopsy and upset

I'm feeling very sorry for myself. I popped to the shop for loo rolls and fell over coming home. I was so embarrassed, people rushed over to help me. I said ah I'm okay, only live round the corner, but my ankle feels very unstable and is so painful, my hands are all mashed up, my knee is grazed through my jeans. Bit worried about my ankle, it feels odd.

I think I just want a hand hold because it hurts so much! I'm really upset.

Oh! All of you!! You're fabulous! Thank you.

I'm sat here like a lemon, so many very poorly people here. I feel very stupid. I want to bundle everyone up and give them all a big hug.

@Yesthatismychildsigh hahaha! You're right, very snotty and sobby and honestly, if I have to watch the adverts on the TV screen again I'll blub and snort and howl and throw myself on the floor!!

Was it the wonky donkeys and adopt a snow leopard (that you wouldn’t have room for anyway)? I know what you mean. Any hospital clinic has that sort of daytime tv on.

OldTinHat · 05/01/2023 18:20

@Yesthatismychildsigh That's me snorting again!! Wonkey donkeys!!

I'll be thrown out at this rate!! Oh dear...!!!!

Not even a small one??

Glad you’re getting it checked out. Breaks can also heal faster than soft tissue damage!
ivr done the falling over thing - about 10 years ago on the school run. It was mortifying. My DCs had to be taken in by other mums and thankfully my neighbour took me home.
I also did my ankle in a long time ago stepping off a curb - dropped all my shopping!!

OldTinHat · 05/01/2023 18:44

@Definitelycross nope, not even a tiny hamster sized one!

OldTinHat · 05/01/2023 18:46

@JustDanceAddict I did that too! Several years ago! So embarrassing...

And here I am again with a stupid wonky donkey bashed up ankle!

Hi OP I'm sorry about your fall it really does happen to the best of us. I'm glad your getting it checked because it really does look like it needs an X-ray. I hope it's nothing too serious. Sending you virtual hugs xx

I’m not that daft. That’s how I fell for the whole lion thing. My sofas are ruined!

OldTinHat · 05/01/2023 19:31

Will you lot stop it!! You're making me laugh so much! I've now adopted several penguins, a whale, some chimpanzees and a red panda!

This A&E wait is costing me a fortune!
