Im falling apart

[Glock 'em down]

Hope you heal up quick.

I had a similar fall once. I slipped on a piece of ice on the kitchen floor and tried to catch myself by grabbing onto the fridge.

Mrs. GED had a bunch of dishes and what-not stacked on top of the fridge, and when I grabbed it, it shook violently, rattling all the contents of the fridge and the stuff on top.

She came running from the bedroom to the kichen, and asked me what happened. I told her. She said it sounded like the kitchen cabinets fell off the walls.

Unfortunately, the alternative to getting older ain't much better...

That sounds an awful lot like the way things typically go for me.

Can confirm. I’ve found that falling down in my late 60’s is a lot different than in my 20’s. Takes a lot longer to get up & the bumps /bruises hurt more & stick around longer.

You can break a rib, it goes non union can sometimes not give pain at first. Then it kicks in. Non union ribs need doctor. Go.

Bummer for you, hope just fracture if anything.

A week ago last Tuesday, the Mrs and I were moving a dresser uostairs for our daughter to use. . As luck would have it the Mrs dropped her end and tried to save the day and ended up pulling a muscle in my lower back. I was off work on a day to day.
I started using a TENs u it immediately and got some good results but when I would stop using it the spasms would start back.
Wednesday evening late, I was turning off all the lights and turning the AC down to 74°. On my way back to the bedroom I stepped on one of my grandsons toys. Just enough to knock me off balance. I started falling toward my desk and tried to catch myself but my hand fell in between the desk and a filing cabinet. My left back kidney area hit the desk.
I guess I made enough racket that my son woke up and thought someone had busted the front door open. Lol. He helped me up and had a couple of old age jokes to toss around.
I went back to work last Monday and was feeling really good. Yesterday my wife noticed a huge bruise on my back left side. I never told her about the fall. Last evening, out of know where, I started getting sharp pains in the area that hit the desk. So muc so that I was yelling out in bed when I would roll over. My first thought was ribs, but I've never had ribs take that long to hurt after an injury.
I am double whammied. Ain't no way I'm missing anymore work. But the ribs are more painful than the back was.

That’s terrible man. Hope you heal up quick. For the record, I’m in NE Oklahoma too so if you ever need a hand moving something just give me a holler. I won’t drop my end lol. But seriously, offer is there if ya need it

I appreciate the offer. You'll have to travel 1200 miles southeast if you're still available. I moved to Florida 7 yrs ago.
