i took a tumble off of a folding chair and my dog is sensing danger at the front door.
 
i'm pretty sure i don't have a concussion. i have a friend who googled the 'concussion warning signs' and went over them with me.  we determined that the only signs of concussion i am exhibiting is dizziness and being off balance, which i am anyway :)
 
i was standing up on a folding card chair (duh, stupid) and trying to reeeeaaaach something high on the wall when the chair did just what it's name suggests and folded.
 
i plummeted (good action word?) frightfully (have to make this at least sound exciting) backwards onto my living room floor. i wrenched my neck, landed with a ka-thud on my back, and whapped my head on the floor.  i gave myself a doozy of a headache but the good news is i didn't fall 2 inches further back or my head would have busted the wooden table. 
 
as i always say...falling down in your thirties is NOTHING like falling down as a kid.
 
my dog has been freaking me out tonight. 
 
she keeps running to the front door and standing there on alert. nose up, tail straight, very intense.
 
something or someone must be coming my way. 
 
i hope it's ed mcmahon holding a check. or is he dead? because if he's dead then i hope he just leaves the check and goes on his way. i don't need dead celebrities hanging around, speaking of which, dead celebrites was going to be the theme of our next big halloween bash. but all future halloween bashes were cancelled when a guy in a kilt showed up with a gun taking hostages at our last one. long story for another blog.
 
i admit i'm a bit of a scaredy cat.  gracie, the dog that was at the door, doesn't usually act like that.  tillie, my other dog, will bark at every fart or leaf in the wind, but not gracie.  gracie only gets serious when something is truly amiss.
 
for now, i'm heading to bed and worried about what or who is coming my way.
 
goodnight.

    D6 - that's REALLY not nice!!!! i'm such a chicken shit i may not sleep at all now!
  • D6fer said on Mar 29, 2009....
    well if you got a concussion, you won't want to anyway......maybe you should stay up a few more hours....take tomorrow off....tell the boss I said it was ok! ;p
  • Hegemone said on Mar 29, 2009....
    Fraggles ... lets hope that your pup is on alert for GOOD things.  You already fell and bonked your head, so that's got the bad thing out of the way ... now its time or something good!  Be careful, pay attention to how you feel in case new symptoms arise later.  I'll be expecting to hear something from you in the next couple of days just to know you're all right miss m'am!
  • MsStar39 said on Mar 29, 2009....
    Fraggles so sorry about you falling like that, if your head continue to hurt, go to ER.
    As for your cat he probably can sense a cat outside.
  • PieterOpie said on Mar 30, 2009....
    You shouldn't fool around with head injuries.  Remember what's-her-name, the actress who had a fall skiing and had virtually no symptoms and then dropped dead?  Only a week ago.... 

    I don't want to cause a panic but that does show you that you can't be too careful.  I am thinking you should not be alone right now.  Can you get help or go to the hospital?   DO  SOMETHING.....  I  AM  PANICKING!!!!!  

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGG!!!!


    sorry.... but I am concerned....
  • fragglesrock said on Mar 30, 2009....
    hegs - i'm feeling fine today miss m'am :)
     
    msstar - i'm feeling right as rain today thanks :) <-- don't really know what that saying means ;)
     
    pieter - no need to panic, calm down now, don't worry your pretty head, fraggle is ok :)
  • travelr712 said on Mar 30, 2009....
    i'm glad you're ok today fraggs, i was worried. btw, it was me outside your door last night. i was just pretending to be at home. ahh, the magic of cell phones :-D
  • fragglesrock said on Mar 30, 2009....
    trav - haha! yeah, i'm ok, just as 'dizzy' as normal :)
  • beyondtheveil said on Mar 30, 2009....
    fraggles- Glad to hear you (plummeted) and are ok. And you're right, falling later isn't anything like falling as a kid. We have a folding step stool with two steps on it that take you about the height of a chair, easy to use, stores easily, and best of all won't unfold with you on it. They are inexpensive and can be had from places like walmart.

    Much better than a folding chair.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 30, 2009....
    That freaked me out!  I was thinking brain bleed like P.O. too.  Any time you hit your head you should be worried.  Have you considered talking to your doctor about labrynthitis? (sp?)  Being dizzy and off balance are classic symptoms of it, though it usually comes and goes. 
     
    And if it makes you feel any better, I fell out of bed over the weekend.  Didn't hit my head, but my daughter laughed so hard I thought she would fall out of bed too.
  • fragglesrock said on Mar 30, 2009....

    beyond - a folding step stool would be a great investment for me, could save me many doctor bills in the future ;-)

    uni - labrynthitis? hmmm.....not heard of that i think i will have to google it and give it a looksey (especially considering that i'm famous for walking into counters, doors, tables, and walls)  you fell out of bed this weekend?! omg! how the hell did that happen?!

  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 30, 2009....
    I'm not sure.  One minute I was sleeping peacefully, the next my ass was making contact with the carpet.  My mattress sits up pretty high from the floor too, so I made a pretty big racket as I flailed about trying to slow the fall. LOL
  • MsStar39 said on Mar 30, 2009....
    So happy that you are OK.
  • RollingC said on Mar 30, 2009....
    When doing things like that it's usually a good idea to have someone with you as back-up to hold the chair or ladder.   You're a brave woman.
    Is the floor ok? You didn't leave any cracks in it did you?     LOL
    Rc
    ps.  glad you're feeling better.
  • fragglesrock said on Mar 30, 2009....

    msstar - thanks :)

    rc - hello!!!! so you're saying i need a spotter to climb on a chair? lol, the floor is fine, luckily it was my head that hit hardest, had it been my ass then i'd have to worry about the floor ;-)

  • PieterOpie said on Mar 30, 2009....
    Ah.... I see you are still alive.  Well, I think you'll survive just fine. 
    When can we expect your next performance?   What frail collapsible items will you be scaling today?  Any "folding" ladders to clean the gutters or anything? HMMM??? 

    I can't keep going like this.... You taking insane risks and refusing to let a professional  do it is more than I can put up with on a daily basis.  I have decided to leave you.  We're through.  I want some one who won't end up in traction every other week.  I can't take it anymore.... You are a mad woman!!!! Think of the kiddies!!!!   GOODBYE!!!  .. . . . . . . ...... . .. . ... . .....  <SLAM>
  • CayenneMan said on Mar 30, 2009....
      I'm glad you're OK, D6fer gave you good advice. After banging your head like that it's best to stay a wake for a few hours afterwards so you don't slip into a coma. It was always a main concern for me while I was in my prime. Concussions are nothing to take a chance with.     
        Years ago I had a friend who fell out of the back of a pick up truck and landed on the back of his head. He went into a coma for three days. When he came out of it he was OK but he hasn't had the sense of smell since.
         One day he got drunk and passed out on my patio. He used my shoes as a pillow, trust me he can't smell !    ;o)        By the way . . . did your dog turn into a cat ?
  • D6fer said on Mar 30, 2009....
    fraggles......did you say hi to the reaper for me? he he he
  • PieterOpie said on Mar 30, 2009....
    Oh... it's me.  I forgot my keys.   You are alright I take it.  Well...... good.....   not that I care of course.  Unless you need something I'll be going.  So.... That's it then.   Goodbye,    bye......  bye bye.................

    FINE.... don't say goodbye then........ 

    <SLAM>
  • queenparanoia said on Mar 30, 2009....

  • PieterOpie said on Mar 31, 2009....

    <SLAM>


  • travelr712 said on Mar 31, 2009....

  • PieterOpie said on Mar 31, 2009....

    D6 - grrrrr!!!!!

    qp - i'm ok, i promise, nothing broken cept my pride ;-)

    pieter - why do you INSIST on slamming doors when you know my head is HURTING?! ***fraggles starts bawling**** YOU'RE EXACTLY THE SAME AS ALL THE REST! IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU ISN'T IT?  YOU NEVER TRULY LOVED ME!!! JUST....GO...............................................................................................<sniff>

  • PieterOpie said on Mar 31, 2009....
    Huh??  What?  Did you say something?   Never mind that....  What the hell happened to my favourite folding chair?  What the.....?  Were you playing trampolines on it or something?   My god woman.... you might have wrecked it.  I paid $15 for that.   Don't you have any respect for my stuff at all?   

    You know.....  I'm getting pretty fed up with your selfishness.....    I'm going for a walk.

    <SLAM!!!> 
  • travelr712 said on Mar 31, 2009....
    ok you two, let's keep the dirty laundry in the hamper, huh?
  • fragglesrock said on Mar 31, 2009....

    ****crumpling to the floor at pieters feet*** how could you?! i thought you said my ass was more pushin for the cusion?! and now you are insinulting me by saying that it was my fat ass that broke your chair? oh...don't you try and get out of this one! i can read between the lines buddy...and let ME tell  YOU something!!! if your CHEAP, YES I SAID CHEAP!, ASS would spend more than $15 on a chair then maybe i wouldn't be in traction right now!!! and NO i WAS NOT "playing trampolines" on it! I was dancing on it for my OTHER gay boyfriend. HMMMPH. yeah, that's right, i said it....my OTHER gay boyfriend.  and you know what?! HE tweezes my eyebrows straighter than you EVER did!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • PieterOpie said on Mar 31, 2009....
    How could you?  HOW  COULD  YOU???  How could you call me cheap like that when all I did was buy it to match the other furniture???  You know perfectly well it was to replace the one that was stolen on our honeymoon right from under our noses at the camping site out side of Hooterville.   (phew)  Those relatives of yours stole it - I just know it.....  jealous hillbillies!!! 

    They just couldn't stand it that you were the first in the clan to actually go on a luxury camping trip honeymoon.  My parents paid for that whole fabulous experience..... except for the callous theft of the folding chair that is.   I still think that one in your sister's house is that very chair;  the green one she obviously repainted to match her teeth!!!!   HA!!!

    And you wonder why I sleep with men.....  It's an emotional reaction - I was 110% straight before I slept with your 9 brothers...... I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE!!!!   LET GO OF MY LEG.......  <kick>  GRRRR.....
