I fell down yesterday -I felloff a stool in the kit chen when I was standing

Oh my! I'm glad you are fine. I haven't fallen from a stool or ladder. Very very careful about such stuff and always have someone around when I climb up. But I've fallen on the road running for a bus when I was 17....and I felt like a complete idiot then esp. since a male cousin (who was with his gang of enggineering college friends) happened to witness the episode....and besides the hurt knee there was a bigger bruise to my ego :P

Kalaji The worst accident i faced was in 1986, it was scooter accident, my left hip bone was shatterd to several pieces, i lay on bed for 8 months wearing a plaster cast from chest to toe There was another in 1962, i was fixing a ceiling fan, the ceiling was 12 feet high, i kept a table and over it a stool, i was holding the fan with left hand, while putting the bolt in the rubber groove with right hand, there was slight imbalance, i fell not on floor but on the bed near by, it had 4" foam mattress, there was no frature, but pain lasted for a week Take some pain relievers if you really need Thanks for sharing Cheers. God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

I am really glad that you did not get hurt any worse. Stools can be very dangerous things to stand on because they are so small and easy to tip because of a redistribution of weight. If you say reached up a bit the stool may have slid and you fell so quickly you had not noticed it.

I must have mentioned a couple of times here about the road accident I had a few years ago and by the time I got on my feet I realised I was losing my balance but physiotherapy put me back and in between this I did slip a couple of times but did not hurt myself much.

At your age, these kind of falls could get serious. Please be more careful in future. And yes, I know what you are talking about. I have had such falls too and hoped that no one has noticed it. Most of the time, nobody did. so I was spared of the embarassment of having to explain to them. But now, I am extra careful because my daughter keeps spilling water or some other liquid on the floor and as it is hardly distinguishable on the floor, I have to always look down and walk.

I watch an old man falling down from a bike a week ago and pitiful no one help instead laughing at him. I don't understand why such incident was a joke to someone else. Think if their own father or mother fall down, how's their feel, are they still laughing?

Hi Kala! I am sorry to hear that you fell from the stool and I can imagine how painful and nerve wrecking it could be just after the fall. Hope you are better now and would soon replace the mischievious stool, who made you fall.. Once I was paining the kitchen door and to paint it from the top, I climbed on a wooden stool (which was not very strong) and as soon as I started paining I fell down and the entire paint came out of the container and my face also got painted through the painting brush. At that moment, I was much worried about the expensive paint rather than my own injury.. After that I made sure that if I am standing on a wooden stool either someone should be there to hold it or it should be strong enough to carry my weight. Have a nice day!

I am so glad you were not hurt. Well everyone feels embarrassed in taking a fall, but the truth is most people do fall down from time to time. So it is just a good thing when they are not injured.

I fell last September while I was walking, right in front of a good looking guy on a bike.

oh you should be careful kalav! that is why i hate heights, really. even when standing on stools i really despise it, my knees would feel weak immediately! because i am scared of falling..

I have had my share of tumbles, mainly ar work place as I am in construction industry. Work sites generally tend to be clutters and if one is not careful, it can be a disaster. The worst fall I took was at Dadar station in Mumbai, Rush hour crowds can be a killer for the non mumbai people. Fortunately the local train was stationary and I was dragged out of harm's way by ever co-operative people of Mumbai.

Hello,thank god,no hurt!As in life ,the fall of the many things.My last month in the running,accidentally fell and cut a little skin.Therefore,when we do something,or to be more careful.Bless you!

Yes I do it very often. I already have a problem in my knees. But I never visit the doctor t solve the problem. Other than that my shoes. I often have falls because of my shoes. Even on the roads. when I have falls I quickly get up and say to myself, "I am a mother of two children. I can't be sick or hospitalized. Every thing is OK to me". After tellint this to me I go away.

Kalaji Most women do this mistake that too in kitchen, and it is always sudden, like all accidents, after a particular age we need to be more careful, because we gain weight, two years ago i was going out of home, our house construction work was in progress, there was iron-rods on the verandah, my saree got stuck, i fell down, a piece of rod pierced my left wrist, it got septic in 4 days Lastly it needed operation, it cost me a few thousands, i did had insurance, but they didnot pay Hope you will be okey soon, apply hot fomentation if there is pain god bless you kalyani

I always feel like an idiot when I fall, especially because it seems that when I'm striding along most confidently, that's when something jumps up and trips me!

Hi Thank God it was not very serious, sometimes it can really be very nasty. My grandmother slipped and fell in the bathroom and suffered fracture of her hips. She really suffered badly due to that fall.

Hi kala, thank god you escaped with some minor shock and bump ! I have had several experiences where I slip in the garden over wet spots and limp around for a few days etc...But honestly, one needs to be careful because after a certain age we cannot carry on being the same as before and also we get bruised far more easily since we start becoming unsteady...Take care kala and how is Bombay( hope there are no shivsenas around )It is really warm here in mangalore..

This is what we call Accident(s).Last week I had to go in a house in the area and I asked the people whether the dog was in the dog house,they said YES,,it was normally in the dog house,but the smaller dog was outside,,nobody guessed that the small dog was equally dangerous.That small one grabbed my leg,(OUCH!!!) , I knew for sure I had been bitten,,Only once in the past I had a chance to play with the smally,so it did not recognize me,,Thank GOD it was not too bad,,but accidents ARE accidents,,TAKE CARE( I never know how much is enough CARE).

i have felt many times from chair but not in front of all... but today one of my classmate who was just sitting in front of me fell off so badly from chair that all started laughing on him and i was feeling so bad for him... he was very much embarrassed.... poor fellow
