I had finished my 15 laps around the pasture and was walking towards the gate. There's a BIG eucalyptus branch on the ground in front of the gate and I didn't lift my leg up high enough as I stepped over it. I went down like a ton of bricks. . . slapping my left arm over a smaller branch, fracturing a small bone near my wrist, tapping my head and the brunt of my weight came down on my right knee, fracturing the knee cap. O I'm wearing a hard cast on my left arm and a stiff brace on my right leg. I see a regular orthopedist Thurs. I'm no longer in pain, just terribly bored, because I can't get around. I'm stuck in my chair!
Oh dear. Shame there is nothing worse than being bored and not able to do anything. I hope you heal quickly so that you can get mobile again.

Get well soon Yvonne. We want to see you back in action.

Is Misty OK? And the torts?

Yea I know what you mean. I lucked out all the way around when I fractured my knee cap. I didn't have to have surgery. I didn't break my arm and the only thing that saved me from fracturing my head is... I was trying to save my rabbit from being squashed by me falling on her. It's a good thing she loved being held in my arms or I would have. I just had a crazy accidental fall. My foot got caught in a blanket on my couch. I went flying through the air and the only thing I had time to do was help my bunny. Then it's months of boredom and trying to figure out a way through it all. I hope you're getting some help. Stay safe.

They are rather cute. I love the ears.
I had a hound dog back in the early 80's. I wound up having to fix him oatmeal for breakfast along with my 2 kids. He loved bagels with cream cheese. And forget shoving him off the couch cause he had a way of slithering back on while I was pushing him off. But they are a loving family pet.

Speedy recovery to Jessica. I hope there is no lasting damage. Thinking of you, Heather! <3

@Yvonne G and @Tidgy's Dad - get well soon, please.

This is unacceptable that so many of my favourite TFO/CDR people are having a difficult time. Healing vibes and virtual hugs to everyone
Thanks, Lena.
Lovely to not see you in the CDR.
But I'm fine, really. :)

You can't even guess what my new phone let me do today. I've been wanting to do it for years. It said I hadn't used several apps for a month and would you like to uninstall them. One of them was facebook. Hello Moto! I'm falling in love. ❤️

I haven't been around much lately, and I'm reading and responding in the order posts were written, so I apologize in advance for being behind the times

WHAT?!?!?!??? SHOT??? OMG! a mother's worst nightmare. This sounds just awful. I certainly hope it turns out better than expected. I'm adding my prayers to all those you're already getting, and I'm coming back to this thread daily for any new info you provide. Sheesh! Let's hope for the best!
Yvonne I am praying for you too! I hope you have some help and aren’t in pain.
