Got a Black Eye - Ouch!!

Last spring I got a purple diamond under my eye just like a circus clown when a golf ball I hit went into a tree and slammed back into my head. That mark lasted for months, but the bathroom is a little more dangerous than the golf course. I don't remember ever falling out of bed, but sometimes if I get up in the night I fall asleep before getting safely back into bed. The last time that happened I fell against a sharp countertop. Yes, I played golf the next day, but OUCH with every swing. The black eye did not effect my game, but a sore ribcage really messed up my score, rflol. Fortunately, everything is OK now.

They say that most accidents happen at home. And I gather from your experience even the bed is dangerous. Sorry if I'm smiling while typing this. I feel bad but now I'm laughing. I hope you black and lilac eye gets better quickly. I think it's been a long time since I last fell out of bed. I put my bed against a wall, behind and at my left which makes it hard to fall. Though I have hit the wall and the door when getting up during the night to use the washroom as i like a dark bedroom. Have a great day!

Nope I never fall out of bed, I have a hard time getting out of it, the most dangerous place for me now is the tub, it is very slippery. Good thing I have a bar in the bathtub so I can hold on to it. I am happy you didn't hurt yourself.

I haven't fallen out of bed in a long time, But I did get a black eye from Hubby when he had a bad dream and was trying to get free from the bad guys, he flung out his arm and got me right in the eye. Sorry, we were both so sorry, now we still share the bed, but further apart.

oh, no i am sorry to know about your accident. I haven't got it yet, when i wake up, i lie on bed for 5-10 minutes more and then slowly get down my bed. You should take care in the next time when you get down your bed. Better you should spend 5-10 mins more on bed to make your body totally woke up.

I believe the generally accepted place is the kitchen. I've had stitches in my foot after dropping a knife on it, I've burned myself several times. I cut my fingers frequently when chopping vegetables, not to mention the bread knife. There are dangerous appliances in the kitchen which can be lethal if they are treated carelessly. The toaster comes to mind, do you poke a knife in to remove a piece of stuck toast? Ever opened the oven and nearly lost your eyelashes? How many steam burns have to acquired from lifting lids off hot food? I've only ever fallen out of bed once, and that was the day we moved house and I was sleeping on a makedo bed of two mattresses piled on top of one another. I hope your eye is getting back to normal now and the advice to get out of bed slowly I would thoroughly endorse.

Actually I did fall out of bed earlier this year! The weather was warming up so I put on a set of combed cotton sheets and I wore slippery pajamas. I sleep on the edge of the bed, but I got a little too close to the edge and slipped right off! I felt so silly. I didn't get hurt though.

hi buenavida i agree.three times I ha ve fallen out of bed.once I had a black eye when I b umped into the drawer pull on my bedside stand. another time I got cramps in both calves of my legs and'literally I could not get to my feet as it was just too painful but finally got on my knees and gripping the mattress got up on my feet. that time I broke two toes. the third time i just trip ped over some bedding and only semi fell. so g uess bed can bve dangerous.

it would be hard for me and my other half to fall out of bed. the bed was fixed and the cushion was very fitted to the bed, not the type that would slip. it must be painful, to the brow, and to your pride! ha ha

The last time that I fell out of bed was when I was a kid. I don't really move around when I'm asleep. Or that's what I think. Well, you should have put ice pack on your injury to prevent it from swelling and turning blue. I think you should change your mattress pronto and also buy a bigger bed. That will minimize the chances of you falling off of bed. Well, if you move around a lot while you are sleeping, it will be hard to prevent you falling off but having a bigger or wider bed can minimize those chances.

Hello buenavida greetings. For sure my wife will agree with you. Bed are sometimes becoming dangerous. I can still remember when my daughter was yet a little baby, she had fallen from our bed 4 times. Thank God, everything was alright for her. But believe me, after those incidents, though our bed now is a king size, my wife make sure that I will not be the one to fall from bed. How does she do that? She arrange our bed not on the lengthwise position but on a crosswise one.

When I have been punched in the head before, but it was not from fighting with anyone. It hurt something awful. It wasn't long before a bump appeared, so the next day I couldn't go to school. Good thing it happened on a Thursday night because the bump was still there on Saturday.
