well, @I am still oxox , never knew those Sketchers packed such a wallop 

I could write a book about all the inane messes I've gotten myself into. Welcome to the human race! Please don't judge yourself too harshly. Remember, we are not perfect, just forgiven. I remind myself of that fact whenever adversity happens that it is just a learning experience. It's how I respond that counts.

Did you return those blasted boots?

Once, during my daily walk, I tripped over my own feet and landed on my backside. No zippers to blame, just clumsiness. Stuff happens. You'll be on the mend soon.

I did not want to admit this before, I was trying on my "new" Sketchers boots back in early October and the inside zippers caught on each other causing me to fall and fracture my hip in my own home.

It has taken me a while to want to recollect the facts and admit them.

This was a little over two months, I am healing slowly  due to an immune issue and not a happy camper at all, sort of going day to day and trying to keep life the best I can

Today is cloudy and damp and a sad day for me.

Maybe saying how the accident happened will help me heal mentally

Oh Mercy - that sounds like something I would do.  I tripped over an elastic loop.  

Take care.  I know memories of falls don't go away overnight.

I am so sorry to hear of your injury.

Didn't you post a couple of months ago that you just had hip replacement surgery?  Is this the same hip?

Hope you are good as new soon!

Accidents happen so quickly. Not long ago, I caught a yarn fiber from my sock on the strip that separates our wood flooring from the carpeting. Luckily, I caught myself but I could easily have been hurt.

I'm sorry that happened to you even if I picture in my head how it happened.  But it doesn't really matter how it happened, you had a fall and fracture your hip.  Would you feel better about it if you fell down a flight of stairs or was in a car accident?  An accident is an accident.  Just focus on healing.  When this is all over and behind you'll probably laugh about it.

@I am still oxox  hope you're feeling better knowing that you are not alone. 

I must admit that I laughed at some of these mishaps because everyone seems to be ok. 

I remember in 1980 I was living in NY and was on my way to work. In NY everyone walks 100 miles per minute, next thing I knew I was on the ground and someone picked me up before I could get trampled. I knew something was wrong because I "don't fall". Went to the Dr and found out I was pregnant but everything was ok.

You joined the club of "I can't believe this happened to me."  When for no reason whatsoever I fell when I was in my garage and broke my hip, to this day I question how did it happen?

I am so sorry it happened to you and the main thing now of course is to stay well.  I'm sending good vibes your way while you continue to heal, and wishing you the very best New Year ever.

I am so sorry you fell and broke your hip. Doesn’t matter what the reason is....the important thing is you are on the mend now and I you are truly feeling better. I assume you returned the boots?
