I went to get one of the imp's toy boxes out of his room last night (literal boxes--easier to rotate around bringing empty into the living room and taking full into his room for clean up times), and wound up tripping over one toy, stepping on another, having a pixie bum-rush me, and trying to avoid falling on her. Ended up hyper-extending my knee. The one I used to have major problems with, before I had the imp.
Never got the living room picked up last night. Knee's still stiff and painful this morning.

Sorry to hear about your injury. (snicking) Welcome to the wonderful world of being a parent.
ReplyDeleteBeen there, done that.
Oh, this isn't the first time one or both of them have hurt me (pixie bites, imp head butts--not to mention all the blocks with all the corners I've stepped on with bare feet). Just the first time I've been still laid up the next day.
DeleteGlad I could make you laugh...

Not really a laugh, but more a simile, because I have done that. Almost broke my neck the other day not on a toy but computer chagrins cord. pulled it out of wall and laptop at same time.
DeleteLord, I've done that one, too. But I tripped over a toy train, first--what was your excuse? :)
DeleteOuch, sorry. I know how you feel. I've a slight limp from my left ankle and once in a while I step down too hard when I use the stairs and it pains me for weeks and weeks.
ReplyDeleteMy right knee gave me fits from the time I was about 19 to about 4 years ago (when I got pregnant, and hormones started relaxing too-tight tendons and ligaments). I actually had to use a cane all winter every winter for about ten years.
DeleteSo, yeah--stepping down too hard on stairs sucks. At least it's my knee and not my ankle. When I hurt that, it always hurts worse than my knee (which is bad enough). Sorry about your bum ankle.
Don't we all sound like a bunch for senior citizens. :)
DeleteOh be quiet. And pass the Geritol.
DeleteRob--I've been a cranky old lady since I was twelve years old.
DeleteTinCan--Geritol? Nah...I'm debating between bourbon and scotch at the moment. My knee still hurts, and whiskey works better on pain than even Darvocet.
