And only cream in the coffee. I will take your advice and put my knees up with an ice bag on both of them. Thank you.

Glad you were able to right yourself!

Thank you.

Sometimes horribly painful at the end of the day. I drive a lot for work and my right knee complains loudly.

I've had some nasty falls too. I (so far) have needed help to get up. When I am alone, I am very careful about how I move.

Ya done really good, my dear irisblue!

And I hope you don't hurt too much tomorrow.

And a mug of hot sweet tea on the end the end table.

You are kind, thank you.

Be careful of large bruises, they can cause serious medical problems. I hope you feel better, you were very fortunate, and you saved the noodles. Now that's a win!

I've had one bad fall outside, and landed between two logs, wedged in good and tight with no one around to help. I felt stupid, and looked like a turtle on its back, legs and arms gyrating as I tried to get out of my predicament. I wasn't hurt, but I just couldn't move to get up. Finally, my dog came over to see what sort of funny game I was playing. She's a big girl, and stood patiently while I held on to her collar and pulled myself out, then leaned on her to leverage myself up to stand. She's a good dog for saving me.

They fall all the time and just seem to bounce!

and scraping both knees leaving them raw & bloody. Mom, washed them up, bandaged them up & gave the magic get better kiss on top of the bandages.
While Mom is still around and would gently kiss the bandaged knees, I don't want to freak her out by telling her I fell down, gotta take care of Momma.

Sore left arm which kept me upright.
Basically okay but wowsa....knowing it could have been worse is scary.
Thanks everyone for the comments.
