Coming up the stairs in my house, tripped on the top step. I had my laptop (open) in my hands, so I was trying to break my fall without dropping it, banged into a corner of a wall with my face and now I've got a schnozz that's somewhere between Karl Malden and Cyrano de Bergerac. It are big and purple, the color of royalty.

Put on an impromptu profanity clinic for the wife. Used most of my colorful vocabulary, held the spiciest in reserve.

The vision of my right eye was blurry for a few minutes but has cleared up.

Just my way of getting out of cooking dinner.

Not much to say besides I hope you feel all better soon, and glad that it wasn’t worse. You must really hate cooking dinner…




“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Well, you made it through the ordeal. Smile

I am happy to hear you're ok and nothing worse happened. Take care and mend the bruised proboscis.

Since you posted with some sense of humor, I guess you're okay. How's the laptop?

I don't know if I'd go that route, maybe just order her favorite takeout, but I appreciate you dedication to laziness.

Just check in with urgent care if you have any reoccurring symptoms.

I hope the soreness doesn't linger and that you feel better soon. At least you saved the laptop!

Yeah Para, is your nose bent or crooked? Suspicions of broken bones? If so, get it looked at, better earlier than later.

I got in a bicycle accident when I was a kid. Friends say at least I wasn't hurt bad. My position was that at least I would heal, but I'd have to pay to fix the bike.

Now that I'm older, I question that wisdom.

Good. Maybe an urgent care visit would be in order. And ice in the meantime.

I am glad it did not occur on the top step heading down. Cracked ribs would add insult to injury. Not to mention having to replace broken eyeglasses. That ordeal got me out of cooking dinner for a month. Hope you heal up quickly.
