30 days???

(prbably) dumb question

Only because this is the forum where I have already shown I'm a dingbat, can I ask a question here? I posted that I went water skiing, right? Well I'm out of shape and I really had a hard time, so I was a train wreck when I came back. I was so imobile and sore, I went straight to get a message on Monday night. Well, I looked down yesterday and there was dark bruise-pooling on my right foot. eeyyyuck. It was directly below where I got cracked on the shin pretty good during one of my face-plant water ski crashes. No telling how hard I hit it, cuz I was all adrelin-charged, you know. I also had a knot on the back of my upper leg above the knee that was pretty intense, not sure where it came from, but I had soo many rough falls, there's no telling. This morning wife see's me getting out of the shower and says oh, gawd! Not in the cool way most of us men dream about, more like the eyuck kind of way and sure enough a monster purple, awful bruise where the knot was on the back of my leg.

So question to group is: was it a bad idea, getting a message? Was I to F*&'ed up for that? Or did it just accelerate the natural course of the body removing the bruise (just loose blood, right?).

Wearing long pants but not drinking,
Dave

More2 i have the same problem with my kids and my wife.; lots of wasted time drunk. I missed a lot and I had a lot of regret; but that regret is useless. I can't change the past. What's done is done. I have to get and stay sober now. I have asked for them to forgive me. Mostly they didn't even know when I was drinking. I am the one who is upset not them. If you dwell on the past or live in the future, you are setting yourself up to lose control. I am glad you are feeling better, and it will only improve. God Bless

well, at least what your wife was looking at when you got out of the shower was the bruise on your leg ahahahahahahah fell off my barbie chair. um or i would say it the gym buddy. you need to go to the pharmacy and get arnica 12x and well next time start taking it immediately. they also sell cream david my dear. as for the bruise depending on what a healthy strapping young fellas you are and how deep the injury depends upon how long before bruising shows up. so you were fine to get that massage. i've actually had deep tissue massage that left me bruised. try rolfing sometime if you want to cry like an infant.

hey bear wow, so sorry about the cycle but so proud that you you didn't kick down the garage and that you are safe.
nibsssssss how's the little god's green acres?
just catching up on everyone's threads so i'm bound to miss something here. fraid i over did it yesterday and i do have to work today but wow i'm tired and i think i'll have to go rest again. phew... nap time. then try it again. but luv hope you are having fun over there now getting started decorating for thanksgiving. lmao
and cindi nice to see you are back traveler that you are. more 2 have so enjoyed your posts and i'm so seeing a new clear headed you and me blonde girlies. yeahhhhhhh the 30 day af rally is definitely working. i'm feeling the strength of it. i'm proud of you too for that antibuse. wow, i'm gong to stick on my meds though they seem to be doing the trick.
magic to the moon. i'm with you sleep sleep sleep. gosh so much i'd like to be up and doing but the energy just doesn't want to cooperate ahahahahahahahah. hope you and family are enjoying your chilly weekend.
i did share on another thread though that my friend who i have not seen since i started drinking again came into town. i didn't tell him i went back out either chicken. well he and his friend came in so al is 22 years sober and took j to his first meeting. j is 20 years sober and took me to my first aa meeting 16 years ago. then a few years ago i went out. weird. anyway we went to an aa meeting last nite. and it was just funny all of us being there. now i refer to them as papa and grandpa. it helped though with my resolve for sobriety. and hubby was kind enough not to out me too so odd how life comes full circle.

and i wanted to say as well magic that having been on the receiving end of some communications at times of MM. you know you are fine. he's going to do what he needs to do. he knows we love him. and there is a line as well especially when he's been drinking. so, we love him and when he's ready he'll come back. it was like being at that meeting last nite and this guy coming in that lived in a shelter. i was like he's probably 25 to 28 and he was living in shelters on the streets, in and out of hte program, had nothing. and i was like well it takes what it takes and there by the grace of god go i. i get it.... i thought of MM, i pray for him to choose the path that best servces him as i choose for each of us. love you all family love you all. if i forgot someone remind me. topa is well topamax.
and then i'll just back on and write okay energyyyyyy. where are you

Hi all,
Everyone sounds good today. Have had a good weekend and the weather is so nice. Took the kids to state park for a picnic. Had been to home depot kids workshop where they made little ships. My youngest tied a string to hers and let it go down the river. It got away and I had to walk through all kinds of jungle to retrieve it. Made a pot of chile. Made some cupcakes. I dont do that until it cools off cuz it heats the house up. Love to all bird

Hi everybody, So good to hear from you Bootsie.. Get your rest sweetie, listen to your body...

Today was an absolutely georgeous day here in Ontario !! We went with the 4-wheelers to put apples out in the hardwoods.. While there we repaired deer stands as tomorrow is opening season for the hunters... It is so gosh darn mild for this time of year, but that's ok because we burn less wood that way.

Luv, you are so cute !!! It is great to hear the laugh in your post and the smile that just has to be on your sweet face

Congratulations More2 !!! I'm so proud of you for making this day an AF day and listening to the message that was meant just for you.. Hope that you enjoyed the game.. I think tomorrow I'll make some apple crisp for the fellas.... You got me thinking about desserts. My fellas will have you to thank for that.. Ha !!! haa!!

Well Cindi, I sure do hope that your daughter gets the surgery if she needs it.. Poor dear.. You will be gaining a son in law !! How exciting !!

Magic, xxx to you...

12Many, that must have been a scary bruise... I don't know much about that sort of thing except that in the olden days they would order leaches to be put on the bruise.. Sorry, not making fun pal. Hope that it starts to fade with not complications for you.

How is it going Cheebs ? Are you hanging in there with us ?

Take care Bear, Morrison, MM, Bird, Ohhhh I just KNOW I'm missing somebody... Hugs all, Today our clocks went back, so it was dark so early.

Thanks, Katie. Vitamin C? Really? my wife swears by it for colds, but bruises too, huh? Cool. I need to accumulate these remedies, cuz if I f#$$% up at another party, the bruises will definitely happen again.

Best,
Dave

bird i love your stories. if only the dogs were smart enough. i would take them somewhere and teach them to do things. :0) kidding. there are just somethings dogs don't do. my dogs don't even chase balls. yeah or frisbees or anything else but they do like those rats and mice. and i have this little song i sing to them whenever they start growling "mean dogs don't get treats mean dogs don't get treats. you may start to growl at each other, and look real mean at your mother' but mean dogs don't get treats. and funny enuf they know just what mama means lmao. cuz they settle right on down. sweet little beasts. today though they were all piled on top of me on the bed. phew... if only i could teach them to do that ironing i had to do tonight. okay nite all. another really nice sober evening )))
