Uh...ow..

I never cease to amaze myself at how fricken uncoordinated i am. I mean seriously..if there is a way for me to hurt myself, well dammit, i'll find it.

Let me recount the various ways, before i get into the latest, k? I actually don't remember doing this, but i've got the scars, so it musta happened. Apparently, whilst i was learning to walk, i used to fall...A LOT. Not sure if i fell because i was walking to early, or just started with my lack of coordination. Who knows. Anyway, i've got scars still on my ankles & a little bit on my kneecaps. Then there was the ill fated attempt at basketball in P.E. Heh, who the HELL put those posts there dammit??!!?? I actually ran into them at least twice that i remember. The 2nd time they asked me to sit on the sidelines & not participate...LOL. Then there was the hiking up in sunol (in cali) with about 5 other people. Drinking wild turkey whiskey & riding piggy back on my friend Norm's (NORM!) shoulders. Not advisable when all are drinking wild turkey..just sayin. Anyway, cut to end result. Me on the ground with a big gash on my foot. We poured the whiskey on it & hiked up further. Ok, mebbe not the wisest choice..LOL. Hmm..next??? Oh yeah. Fell down the stairs at work, hence the 1st of 7 right leg surgeries. OY. I won't go into massive details about those. Suffice to say that several of them include being body slammed by my pitbulls, stepping off the front porch...yatta yatta yatta. Then there's the ill-fated elevator ride that didn't go all the way to the floor. Whoops. You've won our bonus round!!! What have you won??? Rods in your back!!! Woohoo!!!! None of the above includes the various walking into walls, slipping/falling, etc that comes with my lack of coordination. Ok, that gives you some idea. Whoa...almost forgot the incident that involved the callous "shaver". You know those things that have a handle & you use them to shave a callous on your foot, or toe? I never even got to use it. I merely attempted to remove it from it's packaging. Apparently grabbed it the wrong way. Sliced open my thumb. The sucker bled for hours. I'm doing the continuous pressure on it. Holding it up over my head. Call up the twinkie banana & say "umm...at what point do you think i should go get stitches??". It finally stopped without the stitches. This episode taught me to avoid any kind of sharp objects.

Fast forward to now...last night had to do the get up in the middle of the night & pee thing. Generally i'm ok, but every once & awhile my neurontin (back nerve damage meds) has me really outta it. Uh..that would be last night. So, where was i?? Oh yeah, get up in middle of the night to go pee. Somewhere between the after going pee, walking back to my bed, i managed to meet the half wall that separates my toilet from the sink area. Don't ask me how it happened. I haven't a clue. I know that the neurontin sometimes makes me dizzy, but then i'm normally a dizzy individual..in more ways than one. This is where the "Uh...ow" comes in. You know...the "oh..hell, that's gonna leave a mark". I'm up icing my cheekbone at around 3 in the morn. This mornin my cheek is swollen & got a really cool bruise there. Current roomie does a double take at me before she leaves for work. My response? "Don't ask...really". I could tell her i was in The Fight Club in the middle of the night. I won, course, i was battling myself...LOL.
