I am beginning to think I must be related to Norman Wisdom..and for those who don't know who he is, he is a very small comedian who spent most of the time falling over in his films...
About 10 weeks ago I fell down stairs...damaging my knee...my glasses and my pride. Then about 2weeks after that I opened the car boot and a huge steel stairgate fell out and landed full on my foot..and I still can't get a normal shoe on.I hope it clears up before winter!!!! This morning I was walking in the garden talking nonchalantly on the phone when I went down a step onto the lawn and my ankle gave way....so now I am hobbling and can't move it properly. I will wait and see what happens when the swelling goes down to decide if a hospital trip is called for....
I always say it must be all the fat on me these days that stops me breaking anything...
At least this will stop me gadding about and make me do my Hugglets bears..I can't walk very far....OUCH!!!! 
Ow Jenny! Sounds like you should be taking it easy! Hope your poor ol' tootsies heal fast x
I think it's GODS way of stopping me shopping......
Ouch Jenny - I hope that is the end of your accidents for a long while. Take care.
ouch ouch

Aww... ouch! I too am prone to hurting myself! I used to get injured falling out of apple trees or sled riding... now, I throw out my whole back just reaching for a dropped toy! 
Feel better Jenny! :hug:

dusty attic bearsWell Norman, I hope you are feeling better soon. 
Seems like it always happens in 3's so hopefully you will be ok for a while.
Take care. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
DoodlebearsOh poor you Jenny. You sound as bad as me but I have a medical problem that messes with my balance...maybe a little more taking care of yourself is what's needed. Anyway just think of all those wonderful Three O'clock Bears that you can make for Hugglets whilst you rest your poor foot.
Take care jenny!
Hugs Jane. 
Thanks girls...you're all too kind you know :hug: ...Chloe..I think I'm on to number 4 incident..I forgot..I also fell over outside the salon...bringing about much hilarity...so does that mean I have 2 more to go....? 
Oh Jenny......you have been throwing yourself about a bit...sounds like a bit of TLC is on the menu for you...feet up, lounger in the garden, nice glass of wine...Oops..maybe not!! ..but you know what I mean....pamper yourself!!
Hope the ankle's soon better, take care...
Hugs Yvonne
Chaska, Minnesotamy goodness what a time you are having there Jenny. Hope you are feeling better soon. :hug:
Past Time BearsOoooh, Jenny . . . a few years ago, I slipped and fell in a ditch while I was taking my morning walk. (Don't laugh at old people, folks). Anyway, I thought I'd just sprained my ankle and treated it as such - but several days later, it didn't look much better so I went to the doc . . . and it turned out to be broken. So do pay close attention and get it looked at if it doesn't improve pretty soon. Sorry about your mishaps, but have a terrific show!
PawssiblesWell be happy it's not a wrist or finger. Just think what torture it would be to not be able to make bears...if that's any consolation! Seriously, take care of yourself and all the best for a timely recovery.
FenBeary FolkI hope you get better soon, hope you don't have any more accidents.
I must admit I now have a picture of Norman Wisdom sat with both feet up in plaster sewing bears with felting needles sticking out of his hands :crackup: :crackup:
Patsy Lake BearsOooohhh Jenny I hope you haven't done too much damage to yourself, I think a few days with your feet up is in order. Take care

You crack me up SueAnn! LOL
Hope you get better Jenny. Seems like everything always happens at once!
I'm sorry to hear you're stumbling about and especially hurting, Jenny. I'll join you in the self-mocking laugher over clumsiness, though. Just today, while in the shower, my leg slipped off the shower wall where I usually stick it while shaving, and I fell face first into the metal shampoo-holder-thing that hangs on the side wall, literally landing my EYE right on the corner of the darn thing. Hurt like crazy and has left me with what looks like a wee, faint shiner and some swelling. What a Knucklehead McSpazitron I am. However, it might be fun to snarl, "STOP HITTING ME!" about my husband, in public, as a result. Laughing here.
Since misery loves company, I welcome you to the world of the uncoordinated, Jenny.
Feel better soon, friend!
Past Time BearsHA! Shelli, when I had my black eye, Paul was so afraid everybody at the bear show would think he'd been beating up on me. Hope your shiner isn't as bad as that one was. 
KiddoBearsOh MY Goodness! Hope you do check your knee! And sure hope 
will take care of you where ever you go. Take care and wish you feel better. :hug: :hug:
I had an enormous shiner once when my son was a baby and I was tying his shoe laces....he threw his head back and clocked me right between the eyes..I had one wonderfully colourful black eye...and a swollen nose and my other eye had a faint bruise too. It was hard work explaining it to folks who gave me a knowing look and said....'REALLY!!?' I gave up in the end ..I let them think whatever they wanted to think....
