    Default I hurt myself. :(

    I hurt myself this afternoon. I was in my bedroom walking to the door and somehow stepped into a vent that had no cover on it. I knew the vent was there but thought I was far enough out of the way. Nope, stepped in it. Fell down hurt 2 toes, bad scrape on my leg and hurt the knee on my other leg as I fell.

    I have Diabetes and healing will probably be long. It just hurts like heck.

    It throbs so bad. I hope I can walk tomorrow. I'm hobbling today.

    Point of my post - Watch where you STEP!!!

    Aww I'm sorry. You sound like me with leg injuries. Mega bruising and long time to heal. Wishing you my best. Take good care & cover those vents!

    Oh wow! I'm glad you didn't break anything or dislocate something. I know it doesn't help much but if I could, I'd wave the healing wand at you and make you better somehow.

    I'm so sorry you hurt yourself! Take good care of those cuts, especially since you have diabetes and I hope you heal fast.

    Ouchie! I hope everything feels better faster than you think it will!

    I did that once, actually. I had just taken the vent cover out to clean it and managed to step backwards into the hole. I'm pretty klutzy.

    Ouch! I'm so sorry you are hurting. I was lucky and did not get hurt much when I stepped on a coat hanger in front of the TV (ok, scoff at my housekeeping!) I know how frustrating these unintentional but self- inflicted injuries are - I seem to be the klutz of the universe, so I end up with frequent ones. I hope you heal quickly, and also that you can let yourself enjoy the down time.
