Chaos prone?

Okay. So I've had a series of 'accidents'...does it really have to mean anything? I mean, maybe I just had a weird period of being clumsy or something?

First, the day before we left for Vloggercon (San Francisco), I sliced my knuckles open on a glass pitcher I was washing in the sink. Bam grabbed hold of me and started bandaging it up tight to stop the blood. After about 5 minutes, I started to go doooowwwwn. Yep. I fainted. But he managed to get me to the bed so I was safe! ha!

So no knitting, typing or playing guitar for me! But I'm back now.

Oh, speaking about backs, then.........I was fine but I somehow managed to injure my back to the tune of a slipped disc. Couldn't even walk. Was totally crying and freaking out. (I've had back surgeries.) Finally, a friend reminded us of good ole Advil. So Bam went out and got me some and I started popping them. That took the edge off and I slept for what seems like two days straight.

Much much much better today! But.......then............I got out of bed this morning and the last thing I remember was walking into the bathroom but feeling pretty shaky. Then Bam was leaning over me and I was on the bedroom floor where apparently, I had collapsed in a cold faint! HOLY CRAP! Managed to bruise my foot, face and hip bone! I guess that much advil in a raw vegan body just doesn't add up to having good blood pressure in the morning!

I'm sharing all of this because I actually think it's hilarious. I am laughing as I write it. I mean, c'mon. I've had all the accidents a person can have in one year in the space of like two weeks! Sheesh!

Everything is healing now. My fingers, my back.......and my bruises aren't too bad. But I think I shall avoid all ladders and black cats for a while.

Whew! I'll be back with more knitting updates soon............!

Be careful lady! Maybe you just need to sit somewhere and knit for a while...

Good gawd woman! I second Carrie's notion. Take a break, knit and don't accidentally stab yourself with the knitting needles or nothin'.

Ooh, you are sounding a bit anemic or something. It sounds like your raw diet is due for some supplements (and not just fiber in the form of yarn).

Girl! you need to take care of yourself!!!!!
and eat some meat or something! lol.
Really though...maybe you should go to a vegitarian diet instede of vegan amd raw. I have always felt its fine to have yourself some eggs, milk and cheese, honey.
Yea, and that too....Honey! ;0)
Heal quick...drink some tea...

Hey sweetie -
I'm in agreement with Marnie. The anemia thing sounds probable; get it checked out. I'm damn close to anemic and am therefore not able to totally do the vegan thingie. :(
Glad to hear you rediscovered the joys of Advil, though! *lol*
Take care.

awwwwwwww! you are all so sweet. honestly, i'm not the least bit anemic but i have never been able to handle western medicine when it comes to downers. (not a good candidate for a drug habit!)
i used to have this problem much more often when i ate red meat and cheese and all that other stuff. in this case, it really was ....well, an overdose of advil. (9 in 12 hours)

to ease your minds, i have been tested for anemia and don't suffer from it in the least. i do take a supplement in the form of a digestive enzyme which i have to take no matter what i eat. (vegan or otherwise.)

but i am totally and utterly fine now. i'm here to tell you.....advil can get you very very high if you're a pure, non-drinking, non-smoking, non-caffeine, non-sugar person like myself! ha ha!!!
