a blog of a twenty-something's journey with chronic pain...life...and...laughter
Welcome to my Blog, I hope you find some resonation here. Living with pain is a constant battle and it doesn't only hurt those suffering with the pain but those around us.
Feel free to share with any friends and family.
Other blogable topics: healthcare, therapy, meditation, relaxation techniques, exercise, nutrition, acupuncture, chiropractic care, wellness... and an assortment of comic relief, and a smattering of warm fuzzies.
I’ll just get right to it: This morning, I fell out of the shower. This is surprisingly difficult to accomplish considering I do the sit & shower combo.
Yeah. Yeah. Ha Ha. Boo Hoo. Weep Weep Tear Tear. But, mostly, Ha Ha.
The good news is that I’m OK. No damage was done to my already damaged back. Phew.
Not gonna lie, it’s happened a few times before. I’ve always been …. challenged in the ways of gracefulness. I’m…a… klutz. And on top of that, bad back=bad balance, and bad balance + slippery shower+ Klutzy Gimpy girl = disaster.
Sometimes, when I’m brushing my teeth or trying to open the windows , basically doing anything involving trying to stand on my feet (hunched over) and using my hands, I will just trip or slide or teeter totter. Then, I get this horrific mental picture where I fall and hit my head on the sink and stay there passed out and no one even notices, until my land lord notices my rent is unpaid or my neighbor doesn’t hear me singing in the shower anymore. But, then I start to panic even more because sometimes, I don’t pay my rent until the second week of the month, and it’s only -almost- the end of February. I could be stuck there for weeks!
Maybe I should order one of those “Life-Call” buttons. Ya know, when I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.
