Yesterday evening I was a complete clutz, and as I tried to wheel our dyson vacuum cleaner out of out pantry, it caught on the door jam and fell, striking my foot on its way to the floor with its heaviest part. Well actually my foot was jammed between the dyson and foot/r and floor.

Now I have a swollen foot, with blue black bruising and possibly broken toes. Aside from some strange sensation, and spasms I can't feel it.

It got me thinking that its one time to be glad I can;t feel very much, but the flip side is it wouldn't have happened if I was AB, and if my arms didn't come out of socket etc, But my sick sense of humour has to look at it like the former

Anyway, thats about it..I just feel like whittering today and am trying to be a good girl and keep my foot elevated...

Take care,

K

OUCH! anyway.
I was thinking you could do with putting your feet up for a while but I didn't mean this.
Make the most of it.

Hi Nomis,

Yeah, I blame you actually, for all those "put ya feet up" Seasonal Vibes.. oh, and I also blame Dyson for making heavy vacuums, and my Husband ( no reason, just my right, ) and my school for not impressing on me enough the laws of Physics.....

man this is definitely sounding like an Oscar acceptance speech!

My foot resembles this ---> in size, me thinks, lol.

My foot actually seems to be referring pain, well it may just be all my other pain, but its different somehow. you would think it would be drowned out, lol. Having a lot of spasms and feeling sorry for myself! Not sure why, with my dislocations, I should be used to it all.

Thanks for your message!

Take care,

K

I was thankful for similar reasons a couple days before christmas! Burned the stuffing out of the toes and pad on my right foot while loading up the woodstove for the night. Lovely second degree burns on all 5 toesies. No sensation and no spacial awareness is what caused me to burn it, but thank goodness I can't feel it...looks like it would hurt!

Maybe I should quit treating the woodstove like a blast furnace...had the basement at 80F and the living area at 75F just from the woodstove!


Hope the damage was minimal and heals ASAP!

I dropped one of those folding car ramps on my foot about a month ago, I did not break anything. It hurt.

ello Cheshire,

WOW, that sounds like a bad thing to do! I hope that you are healing/healed, and that it doesn't happen again! I also have 'issues' with proprioception too, always have had due to my other dislocation probs, but its a nightmare now I am sans sensation and in a chair.

LOL about the wood stove being like a furnace. Maybe you need to get something which is impossible to get *that* close to!

Thanks for the thoughts,

Take care,

K

Sorry about your foot, K. I don't vaccum near like I use to because of the weight of the darn thing.

Light weights I could afford, don't work, and the ones that would, I can't afford. Figures.

Cheshire, keep an eye on those burns and make sure they heal! I do that with my hands a lot.
