I fell tonight

coasterqueen wrote: I fell tonight holding Kylie while we were walking up the stairs from the garage to the house (only 3 stairs). Kylie has a small knot on her head because when I fell she hit the door. She was such a trooper she wimpered a bit and then noticed I was crying and immediately came to me patting me on the back saying "are you ok momma?"

So she's not too hurt, but I did get hurt. I think I either sprained or broke the bones in three of my toes. I have very sharp shooting pain in them and they are red, but they haven't swollen. So I'm not sure. It's been 20 years since I broke bones in my toes so I don't have a clue but I do remember there is nothing they can do for them. It hurts to walk on that foot too (the right foot). I also scraped the ankle area on my right leg and it's all black and blue. I banged up both knees to wear I can't bend down and put any weight on them and I hurt my right hip pretty bad. I think it's just bruised but it hurts.

The baby is ok. The whole right side of my body took the fall shielding my belly, thank goodness. But I feel awful that I couldn't save Kylie from getting hurt too.

UGH! My mom made dinner for us tonight which was nice. I told her what happened because I had to call her to come get Kylie out of the car for me and she didn't even ask if I or Kylie or the baby was ok, she just started talking about her aches and pains. But I didn't want to blow up at her since she was fixing us dinner.

DH thought I should go to the hospital but I know there's nothing they can do and it's the last thing I wanted to do with a toddler. Kylie won't stay with anyone right now so I would have had to take her with me. DH also gave me the bad news he's not coming home tonight but sometime tomorrow instead.

Oh well, I guess I should be very thankful Kylie didn't get too badly hurt and that I didn't hurt the baby by falling.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Oh Hun! I'm so sorry! You need to take it easy. Put lots of ice on your foot and ankle. That should help with the swelling. Other than that I just don't think there is anything to do for it. I'm so glad you aren't too badly hurt and the baby is okay. Poor little Kylie. Kiss her little head.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: Karen I'm so sorry you fell, but so glad that you and Kylie are going to be okay. Try elevating your feet and putting ice on them to relieve the pain and swelling. I don't know if you can take anything for pain though! I hope you feel better soon!

kimberley replied: omg! i am sorry to hear that! i am glad Kylie is okay and i hope you heal quickly. what a sweet little girl you have taking such good care of her mama. she certainly deserves a million smooches for that. hope DH gets home soon so he can take care of you and the bean! let us know how you are doing.

MomToMany replied: Oh no! I'm so sorry you fell. What a nice MIL; she's SO caring . I wish I could come & take care of you guys til DH gets home. Take it easy, and kiss Kylie for me.

aspenblue1 replied: I am sorry you fell! I am glad Kylie and the baby are ok. Sounds like a nasty fall I hope you feel better soon.

jen replied: Glad you are OK and kylie and baby too!

TLCDad replied: Ouch. I am sorry you fell. Glad everyone is ok. A hot bath might help, especially the bruise on your side and ice on the ankle... might want to keep that elevated while in the bath. Hope you feel better soon.

mama3x replied: Karen I am so glad the three of you are ok!!!

And don't you even feel bad for another moment for not being able to keep Kylie injury-free. You pat yourself on the back for preventing BIG injury to her, yourself, and your bun!!!!!

No they can't do much for broken toes however you should apply ice anyway. And have DH take you to the dr. when he comes home.

PLEASE take care!

MommyToAshley replied: Oh no! I was scared when I saw the title of your message. But, I'm glad to hear that kylie and the baby are ok. So sorry you got so bruised up. I hope you didn't break your toes. Take it easy and REST! (hard to do with a toddler, I know)

Littlejojames replied: OMG I am so sorry.

Glad that your ok though (apart from your toes )

Take Care

Josie83 replied: The title of that message scared me too! I'm sorry that you fell over, but at least noone was seriously hurt. Kylie is so sweet asking if you were okay! I'm sure she will be fine, and its good news that your bump wasn't hurt. Your mother in law seems like a royal pain in the behind! xx

coasterqueen replied: Thanks everyone I did put ice on my foot and elevated it last night. Suprisingly my toes feel much better today so I don't think I broke them...just bruised them some. The rest of my right side though is sore. What a doofus I am for falling.

Kylie asked me again this morning if I was alright. She is so sweet.

amynicole21 replied: Yikes! That is so scary. I'm so glad you are feeling better and that Kylie wasn't hurt badly.

Kaitlin'smom replied: OH MY I am so happy your all okay, and feel like a doufus we have al done things that we felt that way about. Take it easy, and how sweet of Kylie to care for you

My2Beauties replied: I'm glad you're feeling better! Poor thing, that scared me, a fall could be so serious when pg!! Well take it easy and I hope the pain in the side goes away!

Kylie is such a sweetie

DansMom replied: That sounds awful Karen! I'm so sorry! I hope those toes heal quickly.

Lollie replied: Phew.....Im so glad that you didnt get hurt badly!!!!What a relief!!Im sure you had a fright...

Sending hugs to sweet Kylie and to mommy!!!!!!

P.S I thought it was so adorable the way Kylie was worried about you...

3xsthefun replied: I'm sorry to hear you fell. I am glad that you, Kylie and the baby are ok.

MomofJandB replied: That's scary, especially when you're holding your child! And being PG! Oh boy! I'm glad everyone is ok! Take it easy for a few days! I hope you feel better!

ctymom replied: oh no....glad your little one is ok but sorry you got hurt. I was always told that if you can wiggle your toes, they're more than likely not broke. But I've never had a broken bone so I cant say for sure. Glad you're feeling better!

I was half asleep one morning... completely dazed. Tried to wake my oldest up for school on a saturday morning I was so out of it. Stupid me didnt realize all this with Erica in my arms... I started walking down the stairs and lost my footing, slipping down 4 steps on my hip! Thankfully she wasnt phased a bit and I had a good grip on her. My hip just hurt for days. I learned really fast to not walk down the stairs until I'm awake!

take care,
Pamela

A&A'smommy replied: oh gosh I'm SO sorry! I'm glad you three are alright I understand how that feels when i was about 4.5 or 5 months along with alyssa I fell down about 8 stairs luckly it was on my butt it scared the crap out of Jeremiah I was TRYING so hard not to cry (mostly harmones). I'm just glad you three are okay that is scary! (((BIG HUGS))))

Boys r us replied: Oh karen, I'm so sorry!! I know how scary it is to fall period, much less while holding a little one AND being pregnant!! Bless your heart!!
I'm glad Kylie isn't too banged up and I hope that you heal quickly!

coasterqueen replied:
