Prayers Needed

Welp, I was TRYING to be safe.  I planned to give a fresh balsam wreath I received as a  present to my neighbor, so when it arrived, I left it outside to chill..  It rained a bit on the plastic it was in, so when I had to bring it in to my mudroom, I folded up the box it came in and sat it on that because - well, wet,  smooth, painted cement floors are slippery.

SO - what did I do??  I caught my foot under the edge of the box and went down, landing (of course) on my previously injured knee.  X-rays are tomorrow at Noon.  I simply CANNOT go through another broken bone and the resulting recovery.

Please send up a prayer that nothing is cracked!

U fall too much.

They have 4 x 6 rubber backed mats for $36 with free shipping.

I bought one for the landing on our deck outside to keep water from going through the cracks of the deck boards and down into Hoggie's place.

It's been out there in the sun since 2015 and still looks great.

With Winter here, you might consider this as an option for that concrete floor.

They have red or black and smaller and larger sizes.

Quick kneecovery I hope

Oh, Nancy -- I agree with Dale that you should Nancy-proof your vulnerable areas like your slippery basement floor and anywhere else you are likely (given your luck over the past couple of years) to have a fall.  Sending prayers that there are no cracks or breaks this time.

As you can see from the update, the ortho discovered a hairline fracture in my kneecap, so I am back to the full leg brace 24x 7 for 6-8 weeks.

Bah humbug!

Nancy, 

PLEASE be very, very careful...I am so terribly sorry that you are going through this yet again.  It is just not fair...sending love, hugs, and prayers.

I want to come Christmas your house for you! We both know I can't do that, but I can say a few more prayers and you can sing Christmas carols or blast some Christmas tunes in lieu of decorating. You can embrace the spirit without flashing lights. I bet you could manage window candles. That is my favorite. I put them in as soon as possible and keep them in as long as possible!

I can put weight on the leg, so I am doing a little at a time.  Doing any present shopping is probably out of the question, as are my world famous thin enough to see through sugar cookies, but I will try to enjoy what I CAN do and not stew over what I can't.  Easier said than done, but I am trying!!!

Thanks for the sweet thoughts!

I will venture there tonight, but it's difficult when you have no ideas.  I usually grab stocking stuffers when I am out and about all year - so I am more than half done when the season arrives.  With the four fractures I have had this year, I have either been out of service or recovering and have not been out and about at all, except to do the necessities.  My "girls" are 37 and 39, so it's not like I have little ones who will be disappointed.  Amazing that I have kept the stocking tradition alive for that long, I guess.  Breaks my heart for it to end...........I will just see how it goes.

Thanks for your concern!
