Grace - I am so sorry - you did not need this on top of everything else. However, I am just as guilty as you (or the rest of us) in trying to do things I know I shouldn't. Unfortunately I don't remember "I shouldn't" until I have already done it! Wishes for quick and complete healing. Keep your feet on the floor - I have finally learned to stop trying to stand on my toes - because I CAN'T! Well, there's one thing I've learned anyway.

Guys, when am I going to learn that my feet and legs don't always do what I want, or expect them to do? Got very brave this morning and decided to use a step stool (What was I thinking?) in order to change a light bulb from my ceiling fixture. Well, after a bit of a struggle, I got up there all right, but then my legs just completely gave out and I fell. My left elbow took the brunt of it, receiving a cut to the bone and requiring a visit to the local emergency room where I received six stitches. I should have known better, and for the life of me cannot figure out where my head was at. Getting up onto that stool was just plain STUPID! Well, I'm gonna go lie down for awhile. My entire arm is throbbing. Grace .
