Really did a number on my left knee and foot..... - OW!

MomToJade&Jordan wrote: Friday was one of those days I would have just liked to do over. My keys are completely gone, I can't find them anywhere. It was in the process of looking for them that I injured myself really good. DH took Jade and I out to lunch yesterday afternoon and then bowling. Well somewhere between getting to the resturant and getting home my keys went missing. I totally swear that I had my keys in my hands when we got home. Anyway I went back to the bowling ally last night thinking maybe they might have found them. I didn't so I got out of there really quick. It had been raining so the cememt out front was wet. I stepped wrong and started to slip. I can usually catch myself before I go all the way down, but there was no traction. So I came down HARD on my knee. My left foot got stretched out as it happened so I have been gimping around all day. My knee is seriously black and blue. I had to kind of herd Jade around it all day to make sure she didn't bump any of my owies. She did manage to step on my big toe at one point. What was funny about the whole thing was the skateboarders. They are out there doing all these tricks and the person who is just trying to walk out injures herself. One of them was nice eneough to help me up after I was able to see through all of the pain. I am just glad that I didn't have to take a trip to the emergency room.

loveydad replied: Ouch! I'm sorry!

MomToJade&Jordan replied: Thanks guys! Still no sign of my keys though. I am going to have all of the important ones copied so I am not without keys. My knee and foot are feeling a bit better, but my big toe looks really ugly and my knee is just black and blue. I need to go buy some shoes with traction I think.

Kaitlin'smom replied: Owie, sounds liek some new shoes are in order. I hoep it heals fast and maybe thoes keys will turn up

kimberley replied: ouch! glad you are okay and hope it heals up fast!

coasterqueen replied: Oh yikes! That does not sound good. Glad it's on the mend, hope it heals fast!

MyBoyz replied: sorry to hear you hurt yourself thats never any fun. are you feeling any better?

kim62377 replied: Bless your heart! I hope you get to feeling better soon - I know how painful a hurt leg/foot can be after spraining my ankle a few years back. What really sucks is having to limp around and EVERYONE constantly asking you what happened - definitely annoying - but I guess they all mean well. Hope you heal up soon Carrie! Be careful and you take care of yourself!

kim62377 replied: It's Kim again! I just wanted to tell you I love your new avatar (well it may not necessarily be new but this is the first time I have seen it! ) Your sweet Jade is SOOOOO beautiful! I'm sure she is the most wonderful joy to you! How old is she? Is she your only baby? I feel kind of silly sometimes having an avatar of myself - if I had a sweet baby I would for sure show him/her off too! All you guys have such beautiful and lovely children! It makes me so happy to have found this forum and be able to share with you guys! Thank you so much. Take care of yourself Carrie - Love you all!

Thank you so much Kim. Actually it is a new avatar. This pic was taken today. Jade is my only baby and will be 2 1/2 at the end of this month. We are currently ttc our second. Good Luck to you and here's some ******Baby Dust****** for you!

Anyway, hope you get to feeling better. Taking care of others is always hard when you are down yourself!!
