*wilt*

I swear, I must invite misery...

What did I manage to do today? Slip down the last three steps to the basement at my parents house. Right wrist hurts, pride much abused and back going 'erk...!'

Maybe I shouldn't wander around in stocking feet.

I feel an icing coming on, and am pretty bummed at myself 'cause I doubt I'll finish up the card services tonight at this point, and I really, really, really wanted to get that announced up in time to allow orders to arrive by Valentine's day.... :(

My sister, feeling badly for my latest fall, I think, just brought me biscotti and tea at the computer. :) She's a sweetheart.

I *did* get some stuff done today, two orders mostly finished, a couple of oddsandends items that have been waiting around to be finished up, and I ordered some cover paper and dealt with the stupid bank. Had to break down and pull money out of the studio fund... after paying artists, I was out of cash to cover the new card paper and the cover paper. I have an obscene amount of (blank) stock right now, on the up side... just need to get people to buy it. Dragon*Con is a distinct /maybe/ at this point, it's just not shaping up to be a good year when you take into account the fact that the house has to be finished and rolled into a morgage by October. *sigh*

I need hot springs...

*grins* If that isn't a sign, then heck, I don't know what is ;)

But ah well folks, if she didn't listen the first time, it's not likely she'll listen now! *ducks* XD

*gives you a pair of magical wings*
Here you go, girlie. If you're going to insist on running around and not taking a break, at least use the wings so that you don't get into these little spills. And hey, you can get from here to there much sooner now ;)

Ouch, sorry to hear about your fall *hugs gently* Hope all the aches go away real fast!

You need to wear a thick rubber costume with tractor tyre boots on those cold icy days so you don't fall and hurt yourself and if you do fall, the rubber suit will protect you and you'll spring back! :D :)

Recover quick, sending good wishes and lots of good influences! :)

You poor dear

Hun, you sound like your luck is about like mine. I seem to be one of those people who fall at the worst possible times. I feel for you dear and know how you feel, I slipped on icy steps a few years ago myself and messed up 3 different disks in my back in three places when I landed on the brick steps leaving my parents house. It took me several weeks to be able to move around like a normal person again. Then when I could return to work again, I slipped again while entering the back entrance to the hospital where I worked because black ice was on the sidewalk and I couldn't see it ( I worked the night shift), slid into the iron railing to the entry ramp and broke my ankle and re-injured my back again.

Since then I now find stairs and inclines are my enemies, hehe. I have to be one of the only folks alive who can fall going up stairs. But on the up side I have learned to roll and not hurt myself to bad.

Icing the injury only helps for the first 21-24 hours then heat is needed. I also recommend taking an Anti-inflammatory medication such as Motrin or Aleve to relieve the pain, swelling and muscle soreness. But be advised if you are allergic to these types of meds or have stomach problems don't try them because they can do more harm than help.

I agree it sounds like you are taking on way too much at once and getting too tired. When we get too tired and stressed we tend to rush and not take the care we normally do and wind up having accidents. Take a day or two off just for yourself and push the world aside for a bit, for a mental health day. Do your art or just relax, you'll see an improvement, I promise.

I hope you get to feeling better soon and don't have any more accidents again soon. Take care dear.
