I feel over and grazed my knee - I now know why kids cry!

Well Ellie..I'm not much of a fallover person..LOL.but i have tripped over my cat and could feel me falling..not wanting to hurt myself badly i just sat down a thump..i thought it was so funny i felt more embarresed than anything else..my daughter said i looked like i was in slow motion..LOL

At least you only grazed your knee, my daughter fell, like you she was tipsy at the time, and well, it's still swollen, bruised and she's going for an MRI tomorrow, seems she did more than just graze it. And yes I have fallen or tripped and laughed it off. I am now on medical leave because of a fall at work, I'm wildland firefighter, was putting out small areas that were still smoking, had a indian tank on my back (small water tank with nozzle, weighs around 45 lbs) and when I slipped, it shifted, and of course, I tried to catch myself, spraining my left wrist. Seeing that I am the only female on my crew, I picked myself up, reported the fall to my crew leader, taped it and went back to work.

Yes.....but it's too long of a story to tell! But I know how you were feeling!

i fell off a 27 foot oil tank when i was 11 broke both ankles and my wrist. that hurt realllllllllly bad. but there was a girl there I really liked so i sucked it up and called me mom. then cried the whole way to the hospital

To tell you the truth no I have not!! I do not know how seeing as when I used to go out I was always 3 sheets to the wind by the end of the night, but I have never fallen over drunk or sober. I am glad that you have had a good weekend though and enjoyed yourself at the party, even if you did fall over!! Hope you did not hurt yourself too much.

I am always falling over or bumping into things and grazing my arms and elbows which ever part of me happens to hit the object first. I am blind in my left eye and I have absolutley no co-ordination not can I judge distance very well hence plenty of accidents. Yes it hurts a lot but im used to it after 24 years but I always have plenty of sympathy for my girls when they fall over!

i know how hurt it feels when we fell... i also fell before very often when i am still a kid... especially when i am trying to learn to ride a bicycle... but it is OK... i also try to laugh if i fall to cover my embarassment... :-)

yep, been there, done that and got the scars to prove it. It does hurt when you grazed your knees like that. I also fell down the subway stairs once, right on my knees and had to have physical therapy.

I would laugh and cry!

Hi Ellie-will admit that I have tripped up and fallen when I've had to many, normally I laugh and make a joke of it until the day after-then I become a baby cos it hurts so much hugs littleowl

Oh yes I have. If it happens again I might just cry though as it hurts too darn much. I remember a cousin of mine who was walking towards the gate apparently feeling quite sexy. She was doing one of those mis prim walks whev her ankles got knotted together and down she went on her face. I was embarassed for her as my sisters began a whale of a laughter before she even landed. We went to her and helped her brush herself off but we really couldnt help but laughing. Sometimes laughing at yourself is the only thing one can do in such a situation. (lol)

aw...poor you!!i hope you're feeling alright now?!oh yes i have fallen down on a number of instances and one embarassing moment was when i fell down in a market place and that was the really embarassing for me.i didn't know what to do.everybody was staring at me and i all i wanted to do was to cry but couldn't since being a grown up i was expected to not cry so i fought back teh tears and behaved strong and walked off with a smile making a stupid joke about having weak knees....gosh!!!
