You know you're too fat when...

[micki76]

...you trip over the open dishwasher door and do this to it:

Thankfully, I think I'm ok. My butt has a huge black bruise on it where I fell on the edge of the open door, and my leg has a bad scrape. I only landed on the edge of the door with my butt, but my hand broke my fall on the floor. I think I may have hurt my thumb, since it's hard to move and grip things now. It's not very swollen, but it is painful. I have a dr appointment tomorrow at 11am.

I always forget to close the dishwasher, and when it's open and you're standing at the sink, it's right behind you like this:

I've backed over it 5 or 6 times in the 5 years we've lived here, but this is the worst.

But hey, now I get a new dishwasher. :rolleyes:

Most people would just ask for one. :D

OWWWW:eek:

[Cincy'sMom]

Ouch!!

I did a goodone yesterday. At my dance lesson, I was in the middle a triple turn, hit a slippery spot on the floor, and tried to keep my balance. That didn't work and I think I ended up completing the spin on my rear end. Somehow in the process, I twisted my foot and have been limping around all day.

OMG micki! I'm so glad you're okay. Can you drive alright? I will seriously drive up there and take you if you need any help, just let me know!

I guess a few bruises are worth some sympathy from your hubby and a new dishwasher, right? :)

[popcornbird]

:eek:

OMG! Poor you, and poor dishwasher!!!!!!!! Ah, at least you get a new one. ;)

Hope you feel better soon!

[Edwina's Secretary]

Another on my long list of reasons to stay OUT of the kitchen!!!:D Dangerous dishwashers!

LOL! PJ's Mom.

Micki I am really not laughing at you though. I am glad you didn't fall on a knife or fork on your way down. That probably would have been what I would have done. :rolleyes: I am glad you are getting it looked at and I hope you haven't done any serious damage. So many accidents occur around the home. Two months ago I tripped down the two small steps that go into my family room. I know those steps are there and have been going up and down them for 30 years now. I guess they must have jumped out of the way this time to call me to fall. :p I thought I had broken my knee and went for an x-ray. All they found was a little arthritis. Getting old and clumsy stinks! You have a long way to go though before you catch up with me and some of the dumb things I've done! LOL! Check back in after you see the doctor.

[KYS]

That must have hurt like the dickens.
You are going to be sore tomarrow.

That is not the right way to get a new dish washer. :)

Hugs Karen

[GraciesMommy]

Glad you are ok...sure can't say that about the dishwasher..ouch!

[micki76]

LOL, I guess I could've just asked for one! Doh!

I'm already SORE! Ouch, ouch, ouch.

Aly, you're so sweet! :) I can drive ok and I can even type, though slowly.

Pam, I never even thought about a knife or a fork! :eek: Thank goodness I didn't catch one of those on the way down! Wow, this could have been really bad. :(

Let's see, my leg, butt, palm, thumb, shoulder (I don't know why) and back all hurt now.

*whines*

[CathyBogart]

OUCH!! :( :(

Hope you're feeling better soon, that sounds really painful!!

ETA: You have a lovely kitchen by the way!! Mine is all done in this horrid salmon pink color, I don't like looking at it...

[GoldenRetrLuver]

OUCH Micki!! :( I hope you feel better soon! Good Luck at your doctors' appointment tomorrow.

I agree with WolfChan, your kitchen is realllllly nice! :)

[jazzzytina]

Yeah, your kitchen IS nice...and clean...unlike ours...

I'm so sorry about your fall! I'm terrified of falling (and I'm too fat too - over 200 lbs) because of that very reason - injury.

I think you deserve more than a new dishwasher for your pain and suffering. Go for the Lexus.

[BCBlondie]

Youch!!! :eek: I hope you feel better soon!!

[ComedyDevil]

Ouch! :eek: Sounds painful - glad you're ok! Good luck at the Dr. And I agree, your kitchen is pretty :p

[Mkitty]

Ohhhh, I hope you feel better! I do that at school sometimes: I will like trip over stuff but never fall, but I do it infront of my cush sometimes:o :rolleyes:. That's a typical day for me lol. I hope you get better and feel better soon! Be careful! Good luck at the doctor's!:)

[lovemyshiba]

I just saw this!! I'm sorry you're in pain Micki--that sucks:(

I never use my dishwasher, but I want a new one anyway--maybe that is the trick I should try.

I hope you feel better soon Micki, and all of the pain goes away.

I'm sure Chester and Millie will help you out while you are in pain.

[LoudLou]

Glad you are ok... We will look for you on the next episode of " When Kitchen Appliances Attack".... When you go to the Dr. make sure they write you a script for a new dishwasher!;)

[Logan]

Oh dear, Micki!!!! :eek: That hurts me just to think about it, then Pam had to go and mention the knives and forks!!!!! :eek: ;)

Have you ever noticed that the older you get, the harder you fall, and the longer it takes to get over it?? :o
