Took a fall

moyer777 · December 06, 2011, 10:19:17 PM

so I was taking out the recycling and bringing the bin back to the house when Jade dropped her kong between my feet. I fell flat on my face on the cement. I tried to catch myself but when I fell I put out my hands palms down. well the force of the hit broke both elbows! I really couldn't believe it. man, im sore, and only one arm is working for typing. crazy! but the dog is ok, and I will live. one thing that is tough is that im not able to touch my face, so i have to eat with really long utensils. :) please say a little prayer as I need all the help I can get! at least i can still talk and sing! that is good for my work!

here are my xrays

Glad you're doing okay buddy.. and glad they couldn't cast both of your arms.. that would have been really bad.

I hope you heal soon my friend! :(

We will be praying for a swift recovery.

Both elbows? That's a bummer. I will definitely pray for a speedy recovery for you.

If we told you once we told you a hundred times do not fool around in the holodeck with the safeties off.
Get well soon, I can't survive without a steady stream of star trek parodies.

Ouch! What thing to happen - especially before the holidays. I am glad it wasn't worse that it is. Pulling for your Pal.

Speedy recovery my friend, we'll be keeping you in our thoughts!

OUCHHH!!! Sorry to hear that buddy. Rest up and watch some streaming "Star Trek" episodes. :)

RICK!!!! I'm so sorry! Did this happen after you and I were chatting on FaceTime?

Rick I'm so sorry for you. Love and hugs coming your way. Hey at least Amy can hide the remote from you ;)

Thanks everyone. Kind of worse this morning pain wise. Ugh. Can't sleep to well. Icing both right now,watching TNG

:(

Kind of guessed that's why you're up so early. Rest up, hope you can get comfortable.

On man ... I feel for you! Accident or clever plot to avoid putting out the light and moving all the pre and post Christmas trash? Seriouslt though, I wish you the best and I hope the pain is manageable. Luckily you have a strong family around you to make sure that you're taken care of and will help close the gap if the cutlery can't reach. Hopefully you'll look back at it as something else that brought the family together for the holidays.
