Gawd, what a day. Just spent four plus hours in the Emergency Room...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I'd gone to the hospital to register for my shoulder surgery next week. All was well and done, and I was on my way home, when my foot stuck to the hard stone floor, and I fell face first.

I cut my upper lip, and broke/lost several upper teeth. A bunch of people rescued me (if you're going to have an accident, the hospital is THE place to have it!) and I was whisked off to the ER.

Various X-rays and a CAT scan later, plus sutures in my lovely upper lip, I am now recovering at home...

Oh, and my dentist says all I require is capping for the teeth. And he's seen worse damage than mine!

Yuck.

I really hope the rest of you are doing much better than I am!

[Stuart G]

1. I am sorry..

I know that it could have been much worse, but that place, and what you went thru sounds horrific..

Glad you are home, and good luck next week

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Thank you, my dear Stuart G...

I just mostly feel stupid. I try to be careful, and still this happens...

I'm glad I'm home too.

[rocktivity]

2. My poor dear CaliforniaPeggy!

I'd send hugs, but it would probably hurt.


rocktivity

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear rocktivity!

Actually, I don't have any pain now...

A hug would be wonderful!

[rocktivity]

147. Hug accomplished (favoring your shoulder).

And be on the lookout for the tenth annual "You Call This NEWS?" awards!


rocktivity

[LiberalEsto]

5. Ouch! I hope you are starting to feel better

and that everything heals quickly.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. I actually feel OK, my dear LiberalEsto...

Just stupid!

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. healing thoughts on their way to you, CP!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. I appreciate them, my dear NRaleighLiberal!

[ohiosmith]

7. Bummer! But now you can get those grillz you always wanted!

Get well soon CP.

[Baitball Blogger]

9. These look swanky

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. My dear ohiosmith!

Well, the dentist says the porcelain caps will be costly enough, TYVM!

Thanks, sweetie...

[trof]

8. Damn, Peg?

How did you trip?
Bummer.
All the best keed.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. I tripped over my feet, damn it, my dear trof!

This too shall pass...

[trof]

23. When walking...PICK. UP. YOUR. FEET.

Damn.

[MiddleFingerMom]

10. My dear CaliforniaPeggy!!! That sounds HORRIBLE... I was just saying today how lucky I've been...

.
.
.
... not to have a NORMAL illness or a simple slip-and-fall pile on top of my heart problems.
.
.
.
I hope he gave you good pain meds and that you are USING them for their good purpose.
Don't resist that -- not with those kind of injuries.
.
.
.
Have you said, "You should see the other girl" yet?
.
.
.
If not, you need to call someone to come over just so you can.
.
.
.
I hope it's as minimal a distraction/bother/owwie as possible. Of all the people I know, you deserve GOOD karma.
.
.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear MiddleFingerMom!

I'm actually not in pain....NO idea why.

My husband is being super attentive...

Thanks, sweetie...

[GoCubsGo]

11. Owwwie!

I'm sorry! I'm glad you won't be needing bridgework, as if getting caps isn't bad enough. Ugh.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Thanks, my dear GoCubsGo!

I'll get temp. caps Monday and permanent ones later, after all the hoopla is over...

[marzipanni]

98. I'm glad the dentist can give you temporary caps so soon!

If it were going to take longer it would be fun to order some gag ones from Archie McPhee; nine styles for eight dollars (.89¢ apiece!)

http://mcphee.com/shop/gnarly-teeth.html

Take it easy for a couple of days... as Lokey said you might feel achey tomorrow, but I hope not!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

99. Omigod, my dear marzipanni!

Some of those are not much better looking than my damaged teeth!

I will probably be sore tomorrow....I needed a DPT booster, so I got that today. The nurse said tomorrow my arm would feel as though someone had slugged me!

But you know.........this too shall pass.

Thanks sweetie!

[CrazyOrangeCat]

12. So sorry you got hurt!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Me too, my dear CrazyOrangeCat!

Thanks, sweetie...

[Boomerproud]

13. Healing light dear CP.

I hope all treated you with loving care.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear Boomerproud...

There's a very good reason I keep going to this hospital: Everyone is super nice, always.

They know how to do it, and they do it all the time.

[siligut]

17. Oh no! How frightening. You are taking it like a pro though.

My goodness, I just hate to fall. Big hugs You will heal and be back to your beautiful self in no time. Yes, if you are going to get hurt, the hospital is the place to do it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. I HATE falling too, my dear siligut...

I AM used to it, unfortunately...

Thank you for your good thoughts, sweetie...

[handmade34]

25. oh, so sorry

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Thank you, my dear handmade34...

[NightWatcher]

26. be sure to get one of those classy lawyers from the back page of the phone book and go after them

Or not

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. My dear NightWatcher!

LOL!

[Lokey]

27. So Sorry that happened

Hope you are doing ok, tomorrow will probably be the day you notice any aches and pains. The darn teeth though..ugh. Plus a busted lip? Eating may be tough for a bit--mashed taters and milkshakes maybe

I was wondering though...how many people saw the actual fall? That's the embarrassing part eh? Well at least they were there to rescue you.

Sorry you had this happen -those darn feet, I am always tripping over mine too.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. My dear Lokey...

Thank you, I will be OK....eventually!

I was able to eat tonight; we ordered some lasagna from a local place, and I cut mine up into smallish pieces. Then I just put it far back in my mouth, and no problem!

Since I hadn't had any lunch, it did taste wonderful!

I'm not sure how many people were there. And I didn't care, either. There were enough to help me, and I truly appreciated it. Help came swiftly. I was not embarrassed by the people, but by my own idiocy.

Don't trip on a stone floor!

[Denninmi]

28. OMG.

Oh, so sorry, my dear. You didn't need that. I hope you're not in too much pain. Try and rest.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. Thank you, my dear Denninmi...

I sure didn't need that, but here we are!

No pain yet, but I'll see what tomorrow brings...

Thank goodness, typing on the computer doesn't hurt!

[Initech]

30. Hey I spent the morning having outpatient knee surgery - I know how ya feel!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. Good luck to you, my dear Initech!

I did that once, some time ago...

I hope you're feeling OK tonight.

We shall survive!

[Initech]

40. I was in and out of the surgery center in 3 hours.

It was not bad at all - they removed some bone fragments that have been sitting in my knee from an old injury and it hasn't allowed the knee to set in properly yet. But the nice thing is I only have to miss a week of work as opposed to two that they had originally thought.

[In_The_Wind]

35. Geez Peggy !

I'm really sorry to hear that you had such a bad spill.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. Thanks, Joani...

Me too, sweetie...

[Archae]

36. Oh no, so sorry to hear it Peggy.

Hopefully you mend up fast.

We still need you here as our "Gramma!"
(I sure wish I still had a "Gramma.&quot

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. Thanks, my dear Archae...

I usually do heal up well.....

Oh, I'll be around, never fear!

[HappyMe]

39. Oh my!

Well, I'm glad not too much damage was done. You really have to stop sneaking some laughing gas then trying to bolt from the hospital.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. Thanks, my dear HappyMe!

The damage really isn't too bad....it's just so visible.

Yeah, you're right.....no more laughing gas for this chickie!

[elleng]

41. XOXOXOXOXO

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. Aw, thank you so much, my dear elleng...xoxo back atcha, sweetie!

[badhair77]

42. I hope you remain without pain.

We all take a flop once in awhile and feel pretty silly once we can get up. Keep that positive attitude.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. Best wishes for all your surgery, healing, and dental work. Gosh, what a way to start a new year. Let's hope you faced the worst up front (literally). Yikes.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. Thank you, my dear badhair77!

I hope so too...time will tell...

I really appreciate all your good wishes!

[femmocrat]

46. OMG Peggy!

That is just awful. I'm so glad to hear that you will be OK, though.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

51. Oh, thank you, my dear femmocrat...

I keep telling myself that this too shall pass...

That my injuries aren't serious...

And they aren't!

I shall survive.

[Lasher]

47. Sorry Peggy, wish this hadn't happened to you.

Bummer.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

52. Thank you, my dear Lasher.....I wish it too...oh well!

[hrmjustin]

48. Prayers and hugs for you Peggy!

I have Bronchitis and it is triggering my asthma so I am not having a great day myself. I have had ten asthma attacks in a 24 hour period. It is a record for me. Be well my friend.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

53. Oh, no, my dear hrmjustin!

Please take care of yourself, sweetie...Breathing troubles can be so dangerous!

I will be OK.....I hope you will be too...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

49. Peggy, you are supposed to Take trips not trip over your own feet ~

Glad it was not worse. Feel better soon

[CaliforniaPeggy]

55. Ain't that the truth, my dear Tuesday Afternoon!

I will endeavor to keep these to Trips, and not trips!

Thanks, sweetie...

[Joe Shlabotnik]

50. oh my!

Get well soon!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

56. I'm working on it, my dear Joe Shlabotnik...

Thank you, sweetie...

[GoneOffShore]

54. Peggy - so sorry to hear about this.

Feel better soon!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

57. Thank you, my dear GoneOffShore!

I really appreciate your good thoughts, sweetie...

[Hayabusa]

58. Yikes.

Hope that you're feeling a bit better now. Though falling in a hospital certainly is the best place to fall.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

61. Yes, I am feeling better, my dear Hayabusa!

Now that I've had some dinner and am relaxing with my friends.....the world is looking brighter...

Yeah, the hospital is certainly the place to fall if you have to do it!

[Chellee]

59. Oh my gosh, you poor thing!

I hope you heal quickly. I'm so glad you're feeling OK, though.

It was smart of you to do this at the hospital. I mean if you're going to do it, that's the place for it.

You didn't do any further damage to your shoulder did you?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

62. My dear Chellee...

NO damage to anything but my upper lip and upper teeth...Amazing!

The ER doc was worried about a concussion, so I had a CT scan...zip. I'm fine. Must be that hard head of mine!

I usually heal up pretty quickly...

Thanks, sweetie...

[CherokeeDem]

60. Oh...definitely not a good day....

So sorry...hope you feel better soon...

Take care!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

65. Thank you, my dear CherokeeDem!

And it started off so well, too...

I am feeling OK, so far...

[Aristus]

63. Aw, CalPeg...

Feel better. I'm sorry you had such a rotten day...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

66. Thank you, my dear Aristus...

I sure appreciate your good thoughts, sweetie...

[mwdem]

64. Good grief, Peggy!

At least you didn't break your hip! Glad you're on the mend!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

67. Yeah, there's that, my dear mwdem!

That would have been a lot worse.

Thanks, sweetie!

[mwdem]

68. Take care of your bad self!

[SEMOVoter]

69. Take it easy! Hope you feel better soon!

Gracious, that is a rough day! Hope you are feeling better!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

71. Thank you, my dear SEMOVoter!

It was rough.......and it started out so nicely...

I am so glad to be home, and the plan for taking care of my teeth is now taking shape.

[MADem]

70. I am hitting the "rec" button as a way of saying "I hope you feel better soon!" nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

72. Aw, thank you, my dear MADem...

I feel pretty good, and I will heal!

[hedgehog]

73. Poor baby! Get better soon!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

74. Thank you, my dear hedgehog!

I am most definitely putting all the energy I can into healing up quickly!

[kcass1954]

75. Well, crap!

Hope you're feeling better soon.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

76. You sound rather like me, my dear kcass1954!

Only my word of choice was fuck!

Thanks for your good thoughts...

[WillyT]

77. A Face-Plant... For One Of The Most Courageous Women I Know...

The fact that you posted here, let's me know you are gonna be alright.

And that's what matters.



You take care of yourself, ya hear ???

Pretty please ?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

78. Aw, my dear WillyT...I am not courageous.....I just want to get on with my life!

I'm trying to take care of myself, and this shit happens!

Oh, I'll be OK......esp. with my good friends helping me...

Thanks, sweetie.......so much.

[WillyT]

79. Won't It Be A Lovely Day... When things Are Going So Well... That...

we just have to keep ONE eye on the news ???

And attempt to enjoy the rest of our lives...

They say that some of the things that we desire will not happen in our lifetimes...

I'm not entirely convinced of that, and that's mainly because of you and many of the folks here.

It is DEFINITELY being proposed and discussed HERE... AND in our lifetimes.

And that's a start.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

80. That would be a lovely day...

It's a good start, what we have here...

[CreekDog]

81. fall on a soft floor next time!

get well soon.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

82. Now, that sounds like a much better idea, my dear CreekDog!

I do expect to heal up just fine...

It's just until I do, it's really fugly!

Thanks!

[CreekDog]

83. okay, no gum for a while

not for eating.

OR for stepping! eek.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

84. Oh, I WISH gum had been the problem...

It wasn't.

again!

[CreekDog]

85. hang in there

[CaliforniaPeggy]

86. I most definitely am, and thanks!

[Rhiannon12866]

87. How awful, Peggy!

I am so sorry, sounds like a nightmare! The only bright spot was that you were already at the hospital... Hope they took excellent care of you and that your recovery from this is speedy and safe...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

88. There were nightmarish aspects to it, but on the whole, it went very well, my dear Rhiannon12866...

They took excellent care of me!

I feel so much better already...

Thanks, sweetie...

[Rhiannon12866]

93. Well, that's the last thing you expect to happen, especially if you're preparing for something else

Take it easy and be good to yourself. If you're planning surgery, you need to be 100% and your DU family already worries about you...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

95. It was a TOTAL surprise...

I don't want all of you to worry about me...

I seem to be (on the whole, my teeth excepted!) fairly tough. I think the surgery will go well...

Thank you, sweetie...

[Rhiannon12866]

100. Of course it was and dental work can be interminable...

I just hope that it doesn't take long and that it's painless.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

101. My dentist seems to think it won't be interminable...

He wants to put the temporary caps on Monday, after prepping what's left of my poor teeth! He'll glue them down so they be really good for months.

And then after the surgery is all over and recovered from, he will do the permanent caps.

It doesn't sound too bad...

He's really good, and I trust him.

Thanks, sweetie...your support means a whole lot to this damaged Peg...

[Liberal_in_LA]

89. Ouch! that must have hurt.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

91. It didn't feel all that good!

I haven't had any real pain.........yet.

[csziggy]

90. I am so glad you are OK, CaliforniaPeggy!

When the nice people from the hospital call so they can offer you a settlement, be real sweet to them and make sure it's a generous one!

Hospitals should have soft floors!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

92. Thank you, my dear csziggy...

Yeah, those stone hospital floors are HARD.

However, the fault was mine alone.....

[csziggy]

97. Fault won't matter to the insurance company

They'll come offer a settlement just to be sure they aren't sued down the road.

I once had an accident when a county truck spooked the horse I was riding. She spun out onto the highway, slipped and fell. I couldn't do an emergency dismount because the stirrup on one side had been bent and I couldn't kick my foot free. I ended up with a very badly sprained ankle - the bent stirrup kept my foot from being crushed when the horse landed on it.

I called the county to ask them to teach their drivers to be a little more careful when they passed a horse & rider on the side of the road. They sent out their insurance agent who insisted on settling. Even though my medical bills were covered by my student health insurance and I wasn't working so had no out of pocket costs or losses, they paid me triple the cost that the university clinic said the costs to the student insurance company were.

A lawyer friend of my dad looked the papers over before I signed, but basically I got a windfall so the county's insurance company could cover their butts.

It turned out in 2007 when the surgeon went in to remove the torn meniscus from the knee on the side the horse fell on, there was some damage that might have happened with that fall. But since that knee had not bothered me for thirty five years, no insurance company would have paid off on it being as a result of that accident.

So don't be surprised if the hospital sends someone out to make you an offer!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

114. I don't expect them too, but you never know...

I wouldn't mind a reduction in the charges.....but that probably won't happen. We'll see.

[nolabear]

94. Oh Honey. I'm so sorry.

Hell, I'm sitting beside Mr. Bear's hospital bed and I'm sorry! I hope they treated you well and the face heals fast!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

96. Thank you, my dear nolabear!

Here you are, with your own worries about your husband, talking to me...That is very sweet of you.

I hope he's doing well!

They treated me very well, as they always do. I'm hoping for fast healing too.

[DogPawsBiscuitsNGrav]

102. The thought makes me cringe. Wishing you many happy pills and hope you're better soon.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

110. My dear DogPawsBiscuitNGrav!

I will soon be well, and thank you...

[pinboy3niner]

103. ERMAHGERD

Somehow, "I've seen worse" never is as supportive as they think it is, is it?

Good vibes, Peg. When you're hurting, I'd recommend a chardonnay, or a cabernet, or...well, just about anything.

Can't wait 'til you're healed, so we can address your klutziness.

Love & Peace...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

107. My dear pinboy3niner!

Actually, hearing my dentist say that felt pretty good....LOL!

Thanks for the vibes......I'll probably need them tomorrow...

Please feel free to address my klutziness! God knows I have lots of it!

Thanks, sweetie...

[sheshe2]

104. Oh Peggy!

So sorry you were hurt.

Your poor face! Your poor teeth!

Be Well,
She

[harmonicon]

105. Oh, man, that's terrible!

Get well soon!

Last year, a cousin of mine came to visit me just for a day. Walking back to my house at the end of the night, he tripped on a curb and broke two front teeth - lots of blood, etc. Well, we went to the ER, and after waiting for hours was told that there wasn't anything they could do, and he had to see a dentist. Oh, boy. That was super.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

108. Facial wounds always mean lots of blood!

There are many, many veins in the face, and esp. around the mouth. Guaranteed bleeding. I'm sorry for your cousin...That had to be awful.

They had to treat me since my upper lip was lacerated.

I expect to heal up well.......eventually!

[pinboy3niner]

111. Head wounds are the worst

When I was a kid playing cowboys and indians, the neighbor kid threw a rubber tomahawk at me and it hit me in the head. I was MAD, and as I took off chasing him I thought it had started raining. The "rain," of course, was my blood. The tomahawk's wooden handle had been broken before, and it was the handle's sharp point that hit me. The wound was extremely minor, but the blood flow was major.

The next time somebody throws a rubber tomahawk at me, I'd be happy to have CaliforniaPeggy as my nurse.

[Arctic Dave]

106. Oh my California Peggy!

Please feel better soon!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

109. Thank you, my dear Arctic Dave...

I'm doing all right, considering...

[Grantuspeace]

112. I thought I had a bad day.

Get well!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

113. I hope it wasn't too bad, my dear Grantuspeace!

I am working on it, believe me!

[pinboy3niner]

115. May we all have good days...

...to follow the bad days.

[HeiressofBickworth]

116. What a dreadful accident!!

I know you aren't feeling pain today, and I hope the next few days also remain pain-free (but they probably won't). Take care of yourself. (((HUGS)))

[CaliforniaPeggy]

117. It was spectacular, my dear HeiressofBickworth...

I hope to remain pain-free, but if I don't there's always narcotics!

I am taking care, now, at last...

Thanks, sweetie...

[cecilfirefox]

118. Like you said- better to happen in a hospital! Get some rest and feel better! <3 nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

119. Thank you, my dear cecilfirefox......I am resting and feeling better already! n/t

[AsahinaKimi]

120. Get well soon Peggy, take care of yourself!

Hayaku yokunatte kudasai Peggy san, Odaijini!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

121. Thank you so much, my dear Kimi!

I love the graceful characters, and their sentiments!

[IGoToDU]

122. Awwww!!! :(

So sorry, sweet lady!!!!!! Sending hugs your way...love, your admirer.

[zanana1]

123. Talk about bad luck!

I hope you recover soon, then stay out of hospitals!

[LiberalLoner]

124. I'm so sorry that happened to you!

I hope that they gave you good pain meds so you weren't too uncomfortable and I hope the dentist will be able to restore your smile fully! What a terrible thing to happen to such a nice person!

[ashling]

125. I'm glad you are ok!

[Ptah]

126. Ouch!

I hope you recover quickly, Peggy.

[a kennedy]

127. D*mn CaliforniaPeggy.....

so sorry to hear about it.

[a la izquierda]

128. Oh no!!!

You're such a sweetie, this should not have happened. I hope you start feeling better soon!

[livetohike]

129. Hugs for you CalPeggy....and I know this isn't much comfort considering the

damage to your mouth, but thankfully you didn't sustain a fractured skull! Wishing you a quick recovery .

[sarge43]

130. Big ole hug, Dear Peggy.

Hope you're feeling better and you take it easy. That was a hellva shock to your system.

[Panasonic]

131. Everything is covered by the hospital, right?

Because it's an accident....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

132. Thank you so much, everybody!

I'm feeling pretty good this morning...My knees are bruised, but just a little. Even my face isn't bruised.

The ER doc was worried about a fractured skull, so I did have a CT scan. Not a crack in sight. I guess you could say I'm hard-headed!

As to paying, we haven't heard anything about that. Time will tell...I expect Medicare to get the bill.

My smile is shattered, but I'll get it back, slowly...My lip is still swollen, no major surprise. It hasn't even been 12 hours!

My dentist is definitely going to put temporary caps on me Monday, and then I'll start to feel like myself. He said they will last for months, and then we can get the permanent porcelain ones.

I cannot tell you how much your good thoughts and warm wishes mean......I feel like such a klutz, and here you all are...Thank you...

[Scuba]

133. Ouch! Get better soon.

[MrScorpio]

134. Get well soon, Peggy Love! nt

[geardaddy]

135. Hope you feel better soon!

What day you had!

[GreenPartyVoter]

136. Oh, Peggy! I am so sorry. I hope you heal up quickly and that those

caps look wonderful when they are done.

[Odin2005]

137. Yikes!

(((Vibes)))

[snacker]

138. Oh dear!

I'm hoping today is going better for you and that you aren't in any pain! Take care.

[Spike89]

139. OW! Feel better soon! n/t

[antiquie]

140. Thinking of you

and sending healing wishes.

[Blue_In_AK]

141. I'm so sorry, Peggy.

I hope you feel better really soon.

[Callalily]

142. What a crazy thing

to happen. Glad to hear that you are on the mend!

((((Peggy))))

[watch the sky]

143. you did this right in the hospital lobby?

Sheesh, you'd think they'd have softer floors. Anyways, glad you're being taken care of well and rest up.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

145. Yup, in the hospital lobby......

On a beautiful, polished, HARD stone floor!



Thank you, my dear watch the sky...

[Hekate]

144. My dear California Peggy!

How awful for you. Get well soon.

Hekate

[cordelia]

146. I'm so sorry!

Ouch - makes me hurt to think about what you've gone through.

I am glad, though, that it wasn't worse.

Hope you're pain-free and back 100% in short order!

[rurallib]

148. good to hear you're ok

I know it takes a lot to slow you down. Hope this is a minor ripple in your life.

[HipChick]

149. My dearest Peggy..

Feel better soon...

[Lady Freedom Returns]

150. OMG!

Please be careful! And good luck with the surgery!

[Arugula Latte]

151. Oh no!!

I'm so sorry. Sending "speedy recovery" vibes!

[denbot]

152. Holy crap Miss CP!

Feel better soon.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

153. I'm a little achey and sore, my dear denbot...

A couple of small bruises. Not too bad.

My teeth will get temporary caps Monday. That will be huge!

Good to see you tonight...

[hopemountain]

154. i'm very sorry for your discomfort

it may be something going around. i've been a klutz for at least a week. cleaned up more spills (a half dozen farm fresh eggs all over the kitchen floor), water, hot chocolate, soup, etc., and i've tripped over more things than i can count. i dare not try baking a cake.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

155. I'm just a klutz! I often trip over my feet, but I normally catch myself...

Sorry for your misfortune too!

[hopemountain]

157. & i hope you heal up real soon

[frogmarch]

156. Oh, my gosh, Peggy!

What a freaky accident! I am glad you're going to be okay!

[Agschmid]

158. Dear CalPeggy...

Feel better and don't let that fall get you down!

[Phentex]

159. Ouch!

I'm so sorry, CP! I wish you a very speedy recovery!

160. OMG Peggy!!!

MFM told me about this yesterday. OMG! How frightening and painful! Please be watchful for any symptoms of head injury. I just read a really scary book about traumatic brain injury and it made me feel like wearing a helmet all the freaking time. I just took another fall last week myself (tripped over the dog) and know how easy it is to really hurt yourself doing something like that.

Hope the injuries don't feel worse today and all will be ok as soon as possible. Yikes!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

161. Thanks, Kali!

Yeah, it was scary...The doctor was concerned about skull fractures, so I did have a CT scan to rule that out. I guess I'm really hard-headed!

I'm a little stiff and sore, but no worse than yesterday. Time will heal me...

Thanks. Great to see you this morning...

162. All f-bombs are forgiven. Get well soon.

Are you getting at least one of the front teeth capped in gold? That would make you look sorta badass at your next poetry reading.

All the best!

[TuxedoKat]

163. Oh my goodness!

I just read this -- I'm so sorry! I'm undergoing some dental procedures now because of an injury years ago so you have my utmost sympathy! (((HUGS))) and good luck with the surgery next week.

[LeftishBrit]

164. Sorry to hear that! I do hope you are feeling much better soon!

[Firebrand Gary]

165. Holy moly, I just saw this! I'm so sorry, I hope you are feeling better...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

166. Oh, thank you, my dear Firebrand Gary...

I'm still achey and sore, with various bruises...

But I'm slowly getting better, and am functioning!

[patricia92243]

167. Good grief! Your poor teeth. After all this, are you still going to have your shoulder surgery

next week. Saying I hope you get better soon seems so inadequate to say - but I really do hope it.

Vibes for a speedy recovery.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

169. Thank you, my dear patricia92243!

Yes, I will still have my shoulder surgery, tomorrow. Today I'm getting my teeth fixed!

Never a dull moment around here...



I sure do appreciate your good thoughts.

[Mira]

168. Only now saw this

I am so very sorry. Sounds like a really big mishap.
I'm only glad it was not worse, please take it easy and I wish you a speedy recovery.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

170. My dear Mira!

It sure as hell could have been worse...I could have broken my jaw, my arm, my head...etc. NO broken bones at all. Just teeth, and those are fixable.

I'm still scheduled for my shoulder surgery tomorrow; today I get my teeth fixed.

Thanks so much, sweetie...

[libodem]

171. oh no

What a horrible accident. Ouch!!! Feel better soon.

[annabanana]

172. Holy Smokes Pegs!

One tiny misstep sure can screw up a day can't it..

I've done stuff like this and I tell my self "slow down lady, slow down".. And I slow down for maybe a day or two.. then it's off to the races again.

[mykpart]

173. I have to ask,

Is the hospital assuming liability for your injury? You were on hospital property, were you not? Did they even offer?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

174. They haven't and I don't expect them too.

It wasn't their fault. The floor was clean and dry.

And yes, I was in the hospital's lobby.

I don't see them as liable...I tripped over my own foot.

175. Feel better soon, California Peggy.
