denThe phone rang. I was deep into the OOM textbook and the interruption was unwelcome. I stood, turned, and trod on Scruffy. He yelped loudly, as you would expect, and I stumbled, tripped over a rolled mat, trod on Scruffy again who yelped again, and I went down like a bag of shit.
On the way down I bashed my left shoulder against a coner of the wall, bounced my ribs off the sofa arm rest, and fell to the floor with my right arm out. That was a mistake. It all was, really, but the straight arm was worse. I hit the floor with all my weight on my palm and the only reason I didn't break my wrist was because the new carpet has new underlay and was relatively soft, especially when compared to the corner of the wall.
So my ribs ache, my left shoulder aches, and my right arm aches from wrist to shoulder. All in all it was not a Good Thing To Do.
Update: You never realise how many things you bump into until your whole body aches.

Date: 9 Aug 2002 12:54 (UTC)Have some Virtual Vicodin.
Now, get some rest!
Re: Can you Use some Virtual Vicodin?
Date: 9 Aug 2002 13:21 (UTC)Once tripped and fell full length on the footpath. Ended up aching in places I didn't know I had.
But I have to ask... so, did you get to the phone beofre it stopped ringing? ;)
Hope you and Scruffy both feel better soon.
Re: Can you Use some Virtual Vicodin?
Date: 9 Aug 2002 14:29 (UTC)Nurofen, eh? Now I know!
Re: Can you Use some Virtual Vicodin?
Date: 9 Aug 2002 22:10 (UTC)Advil == Nurofen
Vicodin is codeine, and probably prescription-only at any decent strength (although some codeine is available otc in NZ).

Date: 9 Aug 2002 22:27 (UTC)At least poor Scruffy will be more wary of your feet now. Our cat *used* to rub around our legs as we were walking in the door with a heavy load of groceries. That stopped right about the time a bag full of bread, eggs and grapes spilled on his head.
A bread-bonked, egg-covered and grape-encrusted cat is not a happy creature.

Now you need to be rescued by a thirty foot tall bat who will put you in a comfy tent for a bit then release you into your native habitat.
Bats' diary..
AM: Little fella picked up a bit when I reverbed some radio signals with my massive ears into his tent..hope yet.
PM:He seemed interested enough when I pushed some corned beef into his feed tray..things looking very hopeful indeed....Has begun tapping his little fingers on the bubble padding in his tent in a most curious way,calling out something that sounds a bit like modem, mardon , whatever, those dull grunts are pretty hard to bear at the best of times.
