It's amazing how we think we're Superwoman!! I am guilty of jumping up on flimsy chairs in the past and have had too many close calls. I now have a good, solid 3-step folding ladder with wide steps that is always handy for those high-reaching shelves. Please be careful, everyone!!

A few days ago I also had a chair accident, but I was sitting down! I leaned over to reach for something and the wheeled office chair went out from under me and I took all the weight on my wrist and forearm. The truth is, chairs are dangerous. We should all sit on the floor! |
OUCH! Heal quickly, well, and without pinning! (I mean wrist pinning, not sewing pinning! LOL)
|
How terrible. Thank you for reminding us all to play it safe.
|
Hope you heal quickly and don't need the surgery to put in pins. I finally broke down and got a little step ladder (kitchen one with 2 steps) and it works great. Folds up easily and I keep it in the same place all the time where it is out of the way but easy to get. Took me a while to learn to use it but I finally did. Take care and hope you are back to quilting soon.

So sorry about your broken wrist, but it could have been worse. I know a lady who was standing on a chair in her kitchen and fell and broke her BACK, She now has 5 or 6 pins in her back and almost a year later in still in lots of pain.
So please people use those chairs for sitting on, not standing on. I have one of those sturdy 2 step stepladders in my sewing room. |
So sorry that you were injured. Thanks for the warning for the rest of us. I do sometimes use a chair when my step stool is not handy...l'll have to rethink that, for sure!!

Oh my, I am so sorry to hear this. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Be sure to treat your recuperation time as an opportunity to get some serious relaxing time. Take care.

Ouchie, that's gotta hurt. (((((((((((((((Wolfie)))))))))))))))))))))) to make it better

I'm sorry for your pain, taking any fall can be frustrating, especially when you break any part of your body. Just try to take it day by day, one hour at a time if you have to. I fell in Feb., ruptured a C -4 -5 disc in my neck, became paralyzed for a relatively short period of time (all relative-some days lasted forever), had surgery, then spent 5 months in rehab re-learning how to use my hands and learning how to walk all over again. Hang in there - there is light at the end of the tunnel and it's great when you get there. Hope you feel better very soon.
