My local Home Depot self-checkout stands no longer accept cash. I hate this when I want to pay cash for a 79 cent bag of wood screws. Either I use my CC for such a petty purchase or stand and wait in line at the regular checkout.
I always pay by cash on petty purchases.
 
Shop Lowe's if you have them near you. They actually have someone manning the self-serve are and will ring you out if it's just you. At least that's how the Lowe's by us does it.
 
And I slipped again and now sporting a bruise on my butt and I got a mudmask on my face too... I should stay in and hide.
 
I was thinking the same as Addie. You should perhaps try to figure out why you are slipping so often. If you can you might then be able to prevent a few more bruises to your poor body!

Poor you! You have my sympathy and wishes.

I slipped on the stairs last week. My foot was barely on the step and just slid right off. If I hadn't been hanging on to the railing rungs I might not be here in any condition to type or do otherwise. I have a very long and steep stairs.

There is a reason for every thing that goes wrong in your body. Why are you having these seizures? If your doctor doesn't know the answer, then you need to get to a specialist in a hurry. Ask him to recommend one. If he refuses, then there are agencies that have a listing of every doctor in your country. They can recommend a specialist close to where you live.

Sometimes doctors will refuse to admit the "I don't know." It is their pride getting in the way of your good health. There is medications that can control these seizures. Sounds like you need to be on one until the specialist can find the cause.
 
First we had quick freeze so it was nearly pure ice everywhere and well I found a spot not sanded and went flying.

Second, well there was wet patch in our stairwell I didnt see and went again.

Third: we had thaw and everything turned to mud and well only the top was mud, the underside was ice at least the patch I found so I and the patch went flying and I got the whole lump of mud in my face and my arse on the ground.

You do know that there are better trips you can take. Like a trip around the world, visit the Pyramids in Egypt, etc. You get the idea.
 
I do, but aparently I have fallen for the ground hard and it very hard to break up with MR Ground, he just seams to come back for me , every where I walk.
 
When my dad tripped the last time I asked him if it came with a brochure... :LOL:

In the past couple of years I've installed hand rails in their bathrooms and additional handrails in the stairwells. At 93 and 90 their use of stairs are becoming increasingly difficult in their tri-level town house.
 
I dont think I will report him to the police... we have one of the better mental hospital here and I think I will get have nice lay in if I do. *LOL*

Have you considered rearranging their home to the first floor level? My health plan hired some professional movers to do such a thing for two of their patients. The couple love the arrangement. Because they are no longer exhausted from climbing the stairs each day, they have energy to go for a short walk. He is 100 yrs. old and she is 98. And they are always holding hands when they walk.
 
Woke up with a pain in my back that was worse than anything I experienced having my babies or recovering afterwards. :wacko: I was afraid I had blown a disc out, but as I went through the checklist of things that were wrong when Himself had back issues, I realized that all I had was that one painful spot. After a couple hours of crying, yelping, letting out a primal scream that must have scared most of it out of me, and some very amusing episodes of trying to walk around (amusing for anyone that might have seem me, that is), I finally think I'm out of the woods. Still hurts when I breath deeply or cough, but I think I'm going to live.

Good grief girl...that sound really serious...could you be passing a kidney stone with that kind of pain? How are you feeling now??

Good thought, Kayelle. CG, remember that women often experience heart issues very differently from men. Maybe you should have this checked out.

:LOL: I'm laughing for you and crying with you too... WELCOME TO MY WORLD!

From never taking pills in all my younger years, I have officially joined the club of "Don't hesitate - Just medicate".

Missed GG's and Kayelle's posts - and I certainly don't disagree with them. Judgement call!

Ladies, I'm no medical professional, but I'm pretty sure this is no more than a kink in my back. When Himself was going through back issues the same time his sis would visit, she'd get the guest bed and I'd sleep on the futon in the den. Turns out sleeping on the futon eliminated my nightly legs cramps almost completely. The futon became my nightly bed for sleeping. Now I maybe get them at night if I've been on my feet for hours on end during the day. Every once in a while I'll wake up with a kink in my back. Usually works its way out by the end of the day. This one isn't the first, but it sure is the worst. :wacko: With any luck, it will be all gone when I get out of bed on Saturday. I hope. Getting up from a laying-down position is a bit challenging right now. :LOL:

CG, I've found that getting out of bed takes some awareness on my part these days.
I need to do it slowly, and not just pop out like I used to. If I forget to take it slow, my back will be outawack all day long. It really sucks when stuff wears out.
 
I've been doing some stretching exercises before I get out of bed lately too, Kayelle. Now I'm adding one that Himself has done to stretch his back before he crawls out. To those of you who were concerned, I feel almost human again today. :w00t: Still a little twinge in the sore spot, but no yelling or crying when I walk. Just don't make me laugh! That, and coughing, still hurts a lot. :neutral:
