Talk about a freak accident...

[remyandhollandsmommy]

Sadly this is a true story..Also sorry for typos,,I did this w/ one hand (freakin' took forever LOL)








Last night I went to sit on the toilet lid to paint my toe nails when all of a sudden I was attacked!

First the Barbie crown came out of nowhere and somehow wedged itself between two of my toes making me to slip and stumble. This caused me to shift my weight to my left leg. Now, my left leg is very weak due to a childhood accident involving 3 football players, a giant dog and an exposed tree root (seriously I had to wear a brace for 2 years and go to intensive therapy..I still have to use a brace sometimes when I overwork it *sigh*).

But I degress..I tried to prevent my fall by plopping down on the toilet lid, but alas the lid (apparently loose?!) shifted to the side dumping me in the 10 inch space between the toilet and the tub. Which happened to be where Holly keeps her potty insert ring..let me tell you right now, landing on that thing HURT! My head hit the back of the toilet causing a big goose egg, I am pretty sure I sprained my wrist..the blueish purple swelling is kinda giving it away...and my knee cap is swollen the size of a softball and I had to put a brace on it.

Did I mention the nail polish that shattered red all over my bathroom floor?! Needless to say I did not get to paint my toes LOL. I told DH what happened when he called and he said I was the only person he'd ever known that was brought down by a barbie crown and a toilet.

Ouch! I hope you will be OK.

(Laughing WITH you, not at you!!)

Painting toenails has apparently gotten very dangerous!! I think you could probably walk down a dark alley naked holding your wallet in the air and be safer! Hope you're feeling better soon! Go get a pedicure now!

 

[Hedy]

Ouch!

OMG, that's one of those times where you laugh and cry at the same time!!

I'm only laughing because it is a funny story and you seem to have a good sense of humor about it. Hope you heal up soon. I was taken out by a belt once- I stepped on it and the prong actually went up through my foot. I had to pull it out myself and take myself to the doc, so I'm familiar with the freak accident.

 

[remyandhollandsmommy]

LOL, you should have seen me trying to get up..I couldn't use my left hand or knee and was stuck in that dang space..I had to wriggle backwards laughing the whole timew. Remy got out of bed and thought the red pollish was blood. After I explained she helped me up before going back to bed.
Thankfullly I still have a wrist brace from tthe last incident I had.

This says it all

Teach that Remy how to use the video camera! The scene of you trying to wriggle out from beside the toilet, through the red nail polish puddle would probably have gotten you and the girls a trip the finals of America's Funniest Videos.

Although, if it had happened to me, I wouldn't have found it very funny. Someone would probably film me doing those big, Lucille Ball sobs...."Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!"

I hope you didn't break something in your wrist. Sounds so painful! Best wishes for speedy healing!

Yea, buit that wasn;t MY fault..it was the psycho jack russell!! Stupid thing jumped froma balcony, tried to attack our german shepherd mid pee and somehow I got my wrist twisted in the leash during the mass of swirling fur. Doc thought it was broken, I was glad it wasn't LOL..I'll never trust a small dog again.

Oh and our dog totally thought the midget dog was whacko too..he was trying to get away instead of defending me!

Teach that Remy how to use the video camera!

I think you need to teach her to dial 911. Maybe you should have your wrist xrayed if it's purple and swollen.

 

[debbi801]

I am not sure whether to laugh with you or cry with you. How are you feeling today? keep icing your knee and wrist.

 

[Desnik]

I'm so sorry to laugh, but this was a funny story! I hope you are feeling better. I would also suggest an Xray on your wrist. I would love to be in the room when you explain how it happened to the Dr.!LOL

"Brought down by a Barbie crown and a toilet" Oh......Tag Fairy!!!!!!

 

[CinderellaIam]

Totaly something I would do!

After all that, you deserve to be pampered with a salon pedicure!

Hope you are not in too much pain today...

 

[remyandhollandsmommy]

Update, went to the urgent care after Remy got home. Doc said I have a really bad sprain and gave me some pain killers. I am supposed to stay off both my leg (got some crutches..though can't really use them one handed ) and try not to use my wrist for the next 10 days...should be interesting to say the least LOL. Thanks for all the sympathy!
