Falling is not fun!

[BrotherTony]

This past Sunday morning, taking the garbage out to the refuse bin way down our driveway, I somehow ended up face down in the gravel. My wife saw what happened and came out to help me get up from my spill. After getting back to the house we began to assess the injuries that I had sustained. I was bleeding from both knees, and the lower half of each leg was beginning to bruise. I knew I had a concussion by the extreme headache and blood coming from my sinuses. I had a small gash on my forehead, and my nose was bleeding on the outside left. It was also clear that my right thumb was broken. My whole forehead was beginning to turn black and blue, and both eyes as well. There was sort of a thread of humor in all of this in the fact that Vivian has fallen Saturday night while bringing one of our fur babies back in from going out. We were both laughing and pretty much said at the same time that I was just trying to compete with her for the most injuries in a fall! LOL

All kidding aside, though, we'd both appreciate your prayers. We don't know what God is trying to teach us through all of these events, but, we do know there's a purpose. 

Has anyone else experienced so many things like this at one time? Again I was joking around about changing the "J" middle initial in my name from Joseph to Job!

This does not sound like fun but I am glad you are keeping a sense of humor about this!

Praying for you and Vivian

Time to update your resume with "Professional Stunt Performer"!

If I can get this to work maybe I can post a picture of my face...

I took a dive the other night taking mail up to my neighbors apartment. The post office keeps putting her mail and other peoples too in my box. I fell hard in the dark bruising and cutting up my shins pretty badly. My shins look like Bro Tony's eyes.

Oh, my! Catnip tea can help bruises heal up. Hope you all heal quickly. Falling is never fun for the, erm, mature folk. And, yes, Tony, we experience the "when it rains it" FLOODS. Quite often.

I had my right hip replaced in 2012. Now my left hip will occasionally give me a sharp pain. I have fallen a few times because of it. Getting old is not as much fun as I had expected.

Right under the picture of your bruised face is your signature. "If you are looking for perfection in me etc" I feel your pain, but I had to laugh in spite of that.
