My sister jinxed my bathtub

Well it's jinxed for sure cause I wiped out today! Fell on my right shoulder, hip and knee, Hubby burst in and starts yelling at me ( he always gets pissed at first when he gets scared) are you ok over and over and I finally could talk and said I think so! I was numb at first and couldn't say anything!

He wanted to take me for x-rays and I said no but I'm telling ya I'm getting sorer by the minute

 

 

So when are you planning on picking up some non-slip bath mats?

I sorry. Where you nekkid at the time?

I hope you hurt nothing, but if something still hurts in a few days you might want to go get it x-rayed to be sure you did not fracture it. You know how it is with all these meds.

Huggs! And feel better by tomorrow, so you can fill us in the the family gossip

Hope you feel ok tomorrow

I'm glad you're okay, for the most part.  Now tomorrow, sit on your butt and have everyone bring things to you.  You did a lot of the prep work, so the rest of the family can take over now, don't ya think?

Enjoy the reunion tomorrow, and BE CAREFUL!

Oh Moana,

I hope you are ok!!!! Goodness, you are going to be sore tommorrow!!!! Please get the mats.

hugs

Moana,

I am so sorry you fell but I do think you need to get yourself checked, honey, who knows what you have done and if you are getting worse definitely.

That is not good, sweetie, I am so sorry.

I hope you get the family reunion but don't push yourself, lovie.




She's not Lovie, she's my Monana.

 

You should have let him take you.  Do you have ice packs, 'cause you'll need them when you lay down for the night.  Hey, you'll sleep like I do...Ice packs, heating pads, pillows everywhere.  Hubby looks at the arangement and just laughs.  It's comfy for me.

I am worried about you.  I have taken many of falls in the bathtub and down the stairs.  Be careful and if it gets worse...go get it xrayed. 

Tell hubby he needs to sit in the bathroom to make sure you're safe.

Ya'll ever notice when you fall in the bathtub, you slip & slide around like water going down a toilet bowl? I have found though... that if you fall in the tub while wearing clothes you do not do all that slipping & sliding around when you hit the bottom.

Oh, hugs,

I hope you feel better.  Rest!  Get those mats! 

Pip

Mona go get checked out.  And then go buy some anti-slip mats.  Or bathtub stickers.  Or something.

And take care!!!!

 

 LOL Thanks Friends I Love Ya'll

Joonie I slid all  over that tub before I got stopped and yeah I'm usually am nekkid when I shower

 

Gosh Mo, maybe you should go get that xray. OH CRAP!!! My first post said it did not post but it did! Now I think my puter is jinxed too! Thats why i wrote another one! Sheesh I'm need to go to bed

 

 

Don't pull a Joonie*

 

 

 

 

 

*Pulling a Joonie means that you've hurt yourself enough to be seen, but yet you don't for about two weeks. When you do finally go in, you've broken something very random that NEEDS to be fixed.  A while back Joonie fell on a moving sidewalk at an airport, and 2 weeks later FINALLY went to the doc......only to find out that she'd broken her elbow and needed pins and stuff! Moments like these will FOREVER be known as "Pulling a Joonie"

 

LOVE YA JUNE! Joonie's quote:  Ya'll ever notice when you fall in the bathtub, you slip & slide around like water going down a toilet bowl? I have found though... that if you fall in the tub while wearing clothes you do not do all that slipping & sliding around when you hit the bottom.

J
oonie, why would you get into the bathtub with clothes on?  That is what happens when you hang out with us older folks...LOL

  

  Moana,

     Oh My, I think you should probably go be checked out too.  Hope you will be okay.

                                                           Lori 

 

 Well I've taken two pain killers and a muscle relaxer so if I start slurring my words or saying crazy stuff like I did to Shannon please  tell me to go to bed!

Thanks again for all the well wishes and if I'm real sore in the am I'll go get checked out.

AND YOU MAKE TO THE REUNION BUT IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO GO

NOW YOU HAVE A REALLY GOOD EXCUSE OR IS THAT JUST A GUY

THING ABOUT GOING TO REUNIONS. I HOPE YOU GET CHECKED AND

YOU ARE FINE.

OH MOANA I ALMOST FORGOT YOU MIGHT ASK

JOONIE WHAT ISLE THOSE BATHTUB MATS ARE ON AT WALMART

IT WOULD SAVE YOU TIME AND WALKING IN THE STORE.

HOPE YOU ARE SMILING

 

In a sitz bath?

Joonie I am cracking up here at you taking a shower with your bra on

Thanks Darrel but my sister is getting me a bath mat tomorrow, but I'm sure Joonie knows right where they are

Deb why is that men get so mad if somebody gets hurt? Hubby has always been that way even with the kids. But just at first reaction

My hubby is the way Mo'Nana! He gets mad at first then he babies. It is just weird. Oh and it always "your fault" if someone gets hurt. That is the way it around here anyways.

No, Katie I do not wash my under-roos in a sitz bath. I HATED having to do those darn sitz baths! I was soo HAPPY that I did not have to do one of those after having son. I mean there is something really weird about warm water spraying up on your cootie.

anyways.... the non slip duckie stickers for the tub are 3 aisles down from the milk center. They can also be found along the end of the aisle for the juvenile bedding.

 

 

 Thanks for the tip Joonie, I would never a thunk to look down the kids bedding aisle [QUOTE=joonie]

Hahahaha Now & Then! Yeah... I was rinsing off after getting outta the pool. I have took a shower with my bra so to wash it

And if you think about I only have like 3-4 bras at a time, and well at one time I was stuck wearing the same bra for months before I broke down and bought a couple more, but colored. A week later, one of those came up missing... and it was SIL that time that staked her claim on my bra.

I think I hate my bras being claimed by owners that is not theirs more than my under-roos and socks. But I can be a close tie for bras & socks!

Oh Moana, I hope you are alright.  What a terrible thing to fall like that.  A few months back I was taking the dogs out around 10pm and I tripped over a stick in the yard.  BAM!  Hit the ground, the leashes went flying and I just layed there for a minute.  Who knew grass was so hard?!  When I regained myself, my first concern was that my pitt would be gone by the time I rolled over.  Then, if I had landed in dog poop and finally how the hell was I going to get up.  Figures the one time I didn't carry my cell phone out with me, right.  So, I'm laying there on the ground surveying the surrounding area for low enough places for me to do the lift and wiggle onto.  Finally, I spy the cellar bulkhead and shimmy, roll, roll , shimmy my way over to it. Lift and wiggle up and then stand.  I wasn't hurt except for scrapes on my elbows but no bleeding.  Still quite the ordeal.  Of course now as I'm typing the story I'm stifling my laughs because it's kind of funny now.  Needless to say, I've never left the house without my cell phone again.

Anyway, hope all is okay with you and that you don't have too much pain or anything broken.

Hugs,

Steph

Well I s'pose you could use a Sharpie and put your name in them, just like you are going to camp!

 

I would not like somebody stealing my bras. I will wear cheap panties and socks but most of my bras are not cheap. I only wear Bali bras and at half price sales are still not cheap.

Oh and my white tee shirts have come up missing. And for some darn reason... I keep finding MIL under-roos in our wash *raises eyebrow* I know they are hers as I do not wear fruit of the loom, I wear well... not FOTL!

[QUOTE=joonie]

I got 17 new Sharpies last week, in all colors and for only !! WOOHOO!! I am a Sharpie freak! I LOVE Sharpies!

I hoard sharpies at work.  I mark everything... because I work with thieves.  On any given day, I can walk through the cube farm and spy all sorts of officewares in cubes other than mine that say "Stolen from Kelly's Desk", written in Sharpie marker.  Stapler, tape dispenser, power strip, ethernet patch cable, USB hub... it all walks off.  At least it's company equipment and not paid for out of my pocket.

 

That reminds me....when I worked at the daycare we were MASSIVE pranksters. We stole our director's plush santa that she kept in her office chair........and stuck up "ransom" notes every few days, with some really INSANE demands. Like that she come to work in a halloween costume, that we get pizza for lunch, etc etc.

Every now and then we would take a polaroid(sp) of the santa in a bad position - poised over a garbage disposal, with a knife in front of his neck...you get the idea - and tape it to her office door before she got to work.

MAN that killed her. She couldn't figure out which one of us did it!!

She was so upset and didn't know what to do.  I told her don't worry about it - I have an idea.  We filled her jug with vinegar!  She never had the problem again.  I would have paid a lot of money to have been able to see his face when he took a swig of that!!!

LMAO That's awesome!!!!

Mona I hope you are not to soar for your party! Have a good time and take it easy.

 

 Thanks Jaybird, I'm ok

 Thanks Brise! I am sooo sore now but don't think anythings serious. Crawdads here I comeJoonie wrote: No, she just washed them to get them outta her floor and to keep from hearing her hubby complain about our clothes pile. But yeah I like my in-laws.

Joonie, MIL cooks your suppers, washes your clothes...I mean Joonie she is a saint for goodness sake.  I would put out the red carpet for her, give her lots of hugs and reciprocate in some way.  

OH MY GOSH JOONIE- My cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing so much at your posts!! I'd sure love to meet you in person---you'd have even the grumpiest person laughing!   Love the shower bra washing! LOL!  We didn't get sitz baths here after babies.....with my first 3 kids we got a squirt bottle, but with my baby I just had last year we got this cool wand thingy at the hospital! I LOVED IT! It had an antiseptic solution in it too...then warm water...Aaahhhhhh- felt SO good! But then of course they sent me home with NOTHING! I asked for at least a squirt bottle, but they never brought me one.. Oh well- my "cootie" survived!

Mona- How are you today??? Did you go to the reunion?? So sorry about your fall!! My husband is just like yours--he gets MAD and then treats me like a baby.

Back in 2001 I had a roller blading accident.....obviously BRA (before RA) It wasn't even my first time or anyting...I had been going out several times with friends. Well---it was about 10:00PM (I didn't go out until I had the kids in bed for my hubby, that's why it was so late) and so obviously it was dark. Well, I hit a big bump in the road, flew up in the air about 10 feet (ok...more like a few feet) and fell back down...and couldn't move. I was in SO much pain and totally humiliated. I kept telling my friends to just leave me there--I'd get up in a little while.. Well, they called my husband, and then the ambulance. Ended up fracturing my back....OOPS! But when my husband got there, Ooooo, was he mad--just for a second though. Needless to say- when I got home from the hospital, my rollerblade were gone!

Oh yeah- now everytime we go over "that" bump---my kids all say, " there's mom's bump!"

 Last year he yelled a lot because I fell 3 times and each time I was wearing the same sandals.  The last fall was in a parking lot at a gas station in Mexico.  Once he got me back in the RV, he tore my sandals off my feet and threw them across the parking lot and under a cattle truck.  The Mexican driver was standing there staring at these 2 crazy gringos.  I'm sure we've become a Mexican urban legend!  He then got a wet wash cloth, some ice and another pair of sandals for me to put on.  Only problem the sandals didn't match my outfit. I certainly wasn't going to tell him that his choice sucked. 

The odd thing is I haven't fallen since he chucked the sandals across the parking lot.    Lindy
