welsummer I can soooooooooooo sympathize with you...a couple weeks ago my chin and the head of the 80lb puppy met with opposing force...except it knocked two front lower teeth loose...one of which fell out a week ago. *sigh* Lesson learned: never bend down to pick up something beside the puppy!

Labor day weekend - was working with a mustang (not mine) and he kicked me. Caught my right hand and pushed it up into my chin/face. In fact, first I thought he had kicked me in the chin - so the first thing I check was my lip and teeth (they were ok, even my cut lip was not too bad), thought he sprained my right hand. DH tried to get me to leave right away, but I explained that I could not as the horse might then think he can kick whom wants and they will leave.

My chin swelled up huge - looked like someone had stuck a blue and black balloon under my lower lip.

Once I did leave, DH drove me to the doc, and I had broken my middle finger, just above the fist knuckle (the one on the hand where the finger starts). Needed a splint cast for three weeks so I would not move my wrist thus pulling my finger tendons and now I am all tapped up. No fun

Sometimes things happen quickly and often it's those things we know we shouldn't do but we just don't see it coming that one time.

I think my teeth are ok. After two hours, everything seemed a lot better.

Owie

Did the dog look at you like you were crazy for falling on him/her? Mine would.

I am sorry you fell. I hate when that it happens. Sometimes I just cry because it hurt, embarrassed, or mad it happened in the first place I guess cause so far and few in between. I fell last winter once and I have not since and I was hurt. I was outside feeding in dark by my self and I did slip it was wet had been raining and I had old pair of shoes on that have noooo traction on them whatsoever. One of legs ended up twisted back and the other knee is what got hurt it was crammed into the corner of a pallet. Actually was sore for a while.

Luckily, I'm pretty good a falling. Meaning I can fall and not get hurt. I think its because I have sprained both ankles so many times that the ligaments are like worn out elastic and if I loose my balance, its easier to just go to the ground instead of spraining an ankle again. The last time, I injured an achilies tendon and it took 18 months to heal! UGGHHHHH!

So my kinda funny story of falling goes like this: DH had gotten an order from UPS that came in two 6' long by 2' wide boxes. I was sitting in the living room, eating a bowl of cereal as he was opening the merchandise and setting it on the floor in front of us. Of course, the cat and dog were there too, 'helping'. Well, I got up to put my bowl in the sink and lost my balance with my two worn out ankles and had no where to step (unless it was on DH, cat, dog or new merchandise) so I just fell; cereal bowl flying, arms flailing and an explosion of packing peanuts in what felt like an eternity of falling, I landed in one of the empty boxes, facing up. Had no idea where my bowl went, and DH who sat completely still until all motion stopped calmly looked at me and said " well I kinda wanted to keep those boxes..."

sooo sorry welsummer.
boo.

feel better soon

 

[wildeflowers]

oh my gosh, so sorry that happened. And I can just imaging the dog licking you while you were down. At least that is what would have happened here, and the first thing that popped into my head. lol

Good heavens no. He started leaping all over me wagging his tail and barking, just like he does when I say, 'You are a VERY bad dog!' I think he even ran into the busted lip a couple more times! He had a wild frenzy that always includes picking up a bunch of things at an extremely high speed, and at each thing I yell 'NO!' and he grabs something else. The table leg. A laundry basket. THE MAIL. Etc. A friend of mine who claimed using the chain training collar would break his spirit, witnessed one of these mad frenzies and said, 'Well, I guess I am ww...r....w....rrr...wrong'. All you have to do is LOOK at him a certain way. We call it 'push PLAY' (as in, the PLAY button on a tv or voice recorder).

One of my OTHER little precious darlings pushed me into the reservoir. I stopped to look at a reservoir to see if there was good fishing. Crouched out on the rocks at the edge of the water to observe, what the HECK I was observing I have no idea, but the next minute I was in the water, and so was the dog, leaping around, 'ha ha ha ha hahaha!' As you can imagine, there were a number of fishermen cheering. One shouted out, 'I didn't see it, can you do it again?'
