safety first

They say it's hard to make friends as an adult… I've made friends. I have a good little group, because I've always made a very conscious effort to invite people, have parties, invite extra people, you never know who could turn into a friend.

My problem this year is with HEALTHY friends who can do stuff… what is up with this year? Am I terrible luck? Or my head also worries… is this a thing with being in our 40s? Surely not, we’re not old… right?

My friend C had a car accident, she thought she was okay, she didn’t hit her head. But four days later could not get rid of the headache and found out she was suffering from a concussion. Just couldn’t get rid of her headaches, and saw a doctor about it, and that was the diagnosis… she’s trying to take it easy, it sucks. Poor thing.

Then my work bestie fell off a bike injured her knee which had been perfectly fine, she had to have surgery to reconstruct all kinds of crap though. She's still in physical therapy.

Last weekend we were invited out to go roller skating, which is great! We love it! A local skating rink has an adult skate night and it's really popular. They were having 90s night and we all were dressed up we skated around for about 30 minutes… maybe 45? Then she fell really bad broke her arm. She couldn’t get up, we had to call an ambulance to gurney her out of the skating rink, and she’s going in to surgery now too.
I feel like we used to be able to fall or have minor accidents and we were OK.

Am I next?

I'm trying to be very careful. And, of course, check on all my friends.

I certainly hope nothing like that happens to you!
And, that your friends heal quickly!

Yeah, now you know what I mostly stay out of mosh pit. Mostly.

Please be careful as things can get crazy out there!

November 30th I tumbled backwards down some basement stairs. Life can be terrifying! (I am okay now though).

Getting old sucks.

Fingers crossed that none of you break anything else!

Yep, as we get older people around us do too, which is a pain:( I hope you stay healthy, and your friends get better soon.

Stay safe! Gravity is a harsh mistress. I hope all your friends are back on their feet soon and that you still manage to do fun and mildly risky things unscathed.
