Remudamom Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Tonight while everyone was inside playing Monopoly I ran out to the chicken house just to check on the birds. I had on slacks, pumps, short sleeved shirt. It's 14 outside, but I was just going up to the chicken house, right? Checked the chicks, they're fine,(it is a little cold) then I saw three of my favorite equines watching me. Ran back, loaded the wheelbarrow with special hay, rolled it over to the girlies, (starting to get a wee bit chilly). Feed the girls, head back, put the barrow up. Head back to the house down the hill (dang, it really is cold) and fall right on my donkey on the ice. Felt like I pulled every muscle in my leg and sprained my ankle. No phone. I got my shoes off and hobbled into the house via the back door so I don't get a lecture from everyone about how I should never leave the house without my boots, coat, muffler, gloves and phone. Hopefully it will snow tonight and my footprints will be covered up. I am fifty. Fifty. Not a youngen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crissy Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Ouch! I hope you're not as sore tomorrow as I think you'll be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMe Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 See now if you were always cold like me, you wouldn't dream of even dressing in the am without long underwear and a sweatshirt. Plus I don't even own a pair of pumps. LOL! Thaaaaat's funny!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missplacedalaskan Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 OUCH!! I think you are gonna be sore tomorrow. I'm sorry you are injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughCollie Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) I'm glad you are okay, meaning that you didn't break a leg or something. I hope you aren't in a lot of pain right now, and that you won't be in pain tomorrow. Is it time for a Mikes? Just don't mix narcotic pain relievers or muscle relaxants and booze. That's one way to land on Comas R Us without passing Go. Maybe something a wee bit stronger? No, no, not stronger than oblivion, stronger than Mikes. My gosh, what if it had happened farther away from the house? Holy combinations and permutations! You could have broken your leg or legs or a leg & arm combo or ... you do the math! You could have laid (lain? you do the grammar, too!) there, and frozen to death! Next time ... you know what to do, so do it! Why were you wearing pumps? I have a pair that I dusted the other week when I cleaned my closet. Did you go somewhere fancy before you took a spill? Or were you playing dress-up? Cheers!

Peek a Boo Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I am trying to picture you in pumps and it is just not working..... nope, can't get there. Sorry you are hurt! :glare: yeah.... I'm skeptical. I'm betting someone's hacked her account. "pumps" is a dead give-away, unless it's slang for a couple of double barrel PUMP action shotguns, lol..... but just in case, here's another Mike's ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieMonster Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 :smilielol5: I mean, I'm sorry it's gonna hurt. Really. But, I dunno, I think if I was there I'd have a good laugh at your expense and then go get the Motrin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidsHappen Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I am having a hard time with the pumps myself. I haven't owned a pair of pumps in 20 years and I don't even live on a horse farm. Definitely the motrin and save the Mike's for tomorrow when you'll need them. Hope it turns out to be surprisingly less painful than we imagine.

Vida Winter Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I hear you. I fell on the ice the other day while walking down the 1-block main street that is my town. I managed to get up and into the store I was intending to go into, then sat on a chair and gasped for a while. I had a nasty bruise for about 3 weeks or more...ugh. I wasn't wearing snow boots, and I should have been...I was wearing a pair of Payless "Uggs" knock-offs, not built for slick surfaces. I'm almost as old as you, Remuda, so I have no excuses either. But it can happen at any age. I fall on the ice every couple of years or so but I need to remind myself that someday that could result in a broken hip. :grouphug: Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plucky Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 If you didn't tell me you had teens & were married as long as you are I might believe you are 17. You are such a youngster at heart. Hope you are feeling no pain by now. Maybe some rum is in order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Katia Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Oh the.....ouch.....perils of being 17 (at heart). Glad you made it to the house. Take lots of Motrin. Next time, take a cute guy along to keep you warm. Then we'll really know you are still 17! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remudamom Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) Y'all are funny. Remudabutt! :lol: Well, I call them pumps, not real high, but not boots or tennis shoes. I had been in town. Town tends to frown on shoes with poop on them. There's my excuse. ETA- I just checked out "pumps" because you were all so surprised. Mine are not high heeled, so I should have said flats???? But mine are obviously slick as chicken stuff. But FYI, I do have some heels. They are so sharp I probably would have gotten better traction with them. I'm fine, ankle is a tiny bit sore and I pulled a muscle but otherwise.... I didn't take anything for the pain, but I shivered for a long time. And yes, I was blessed that I could get up and into the house. The rest of the family left within minutes to go to grandma's, and given my chicken house/horse habits they wouldn't have thought anything of my being missing when they left. I don't go in with them for pizza night. Thanks for all the good wishes! Edited January 28, 2009 by Remudamom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
