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.

I'm sorted and going home, hooray! Hairline ankle fracture, sprained knee, many a bruise...!

But I've no idea where I'm going to keep all of these critters?! You're all to blame!! 😄

I'm so happy.

Can't wait to see all your new menagerie

Welcome back home. Now look after yourself properly and no dancing with the gin bottle for a few weeks 😉

Glad you got it checked.

I managed to pull a muscle/tendon in my ankle whilst standing on one foot struggling to remove sweaty sock from other foot after a step session at the gym. Ended up having it iced and strapped by gym attendant in the changing room which wasn't embarrassing at all, oh no no.

Much sympathy to all of you who have also had an oopsy, ouchy mishap! 51 quite obviously is the age for it!

I can report that bruises are coming out all over, much arnica is being taken and I'm busy ordering cages, enclosures and massive tanks for all of my new adoptees. I don't think the dolphin will fit in my bath though, the largest tank I can but online is a 4ft one, so...🤷‍♀️

Thanks for keeping me sane, you lot!

I hate to say this but I'm 55 and I'm still falling over 😳

@OldTinHat how are you?

I'm back because I've had another fall in the house. My knee is so painful as it still wasn't quite right after my last one.

Feeling stupid and I know I can feel stupid safely here.
