This week, I'm sharing some of the little table toppers I just got back from my quilter. This little quilt is about 24" square. It has a nice fall/winter feel to it.
I had the strangest thing happen yesterday. I was eating a sandwich at the counter with Eva and felt like it was kind of sticking in my throat. I wasn't choking, but wanted some water to try to "wash it down". I got up to fill a cup with water, and the next thing I knew I was lying on the floor. I had fainted apparently. As a result of the fall, I have really done a number on my right hip and my back muscles on the right side. I can barely move now and sitting down is so uncomfortable. Honestly, I am too old to fall down. And of course, when you black out, it is so sudden that you don't have time to ease yourself down gently. You just go down like a ton of bricks. Luckily I didn't hit my head on the counter or break a tooth or anything.
Eva was cool as a cucumber. She didn't panic, just came over to my side and said "Are you ok?" I was so discombobulated and shocked I just wanted to lie on the floor for awhile until I figured out what the heck had just happened. It was very odd. I seem to be fine now, just sore as the dickens. I sure do hope that doesn't happen again. I see my doctor this week for another matter, so we shall see what he says.
My plans for the afternoon went out the window. I just sat on the couch playing solitare until Eva's daddy picked her up.

Oh my goodness. That would be quite a shock to come to and you’re lying on the floor. Best to get it checked out. Hope the pain doesn’t last too long.

Nicole, I am so sorry you fell. I hope the soreness goes away soon. Something similar happened to me four years ago but hasn’t happened again. Unfortunately I was on a bus trip and we had stopped at a mall type setting for lunch. I was walking on a pavement to eat. I was carrying my
Purse and book. I didn’t trip. Next thing I am flat on my face and bleeding
From nose and mouth and tops of my hands. A kind stranger got me to first aid station. My dignity was all that was hurt😂 and was a sad looking mess the rest of the trip. Hope you never have a recurrence!

Hope the aches go away fast. You for sure need to tell your doctor. I hope he feels it was a one time thing and you don’t have to out every body part under a microscope.
Your table topper is beautiful. Looks like a Kim Diehl piece – and I am a big fan of everything she does.

I hope you are feeling better today. I had the same thing happen to me when I was about 10. I was choking on a peanut and went into the kitchen to get some water. The next thing I knew I was lying flat on my back. I guess the fall knocked out the peanut. Have never had it happen again. Hopefully, it’s a one-time thing for you too!

Oh Nicole, that sounds so scary! Hope your soreness goes away fast and your doctor says you are okay! 🙏🏻

Omg, glad you are in one piece to talk about it. Maybe the force of the fall dislodged the stuck bite. Hope that was a freak thing and over now. I slipped off the front of our carpeted steps and fell maybe 3 steps. Bent my foot just right to break 5 bones. How fast things can change. It’s been 7 weeks and I still can’t get a shoe on, but at least avoided surgery.
I love your quilting show and tell, you always have awsome quilts/toppers to share.

I’m so sorry you had a fall yesterday! Eva keeping calm was one less thing for you to worry about as you assessed your situation. It’s good that you’re seeing your doctor this week. Take care of yourself & try to rest!

Whoa, I hope you are okay. I had something similar happen when I was in the low blood pressure stage of pregnancy. I was standing in church then suddenly I was lying down in the pew. As I started to go down, my mom (next to me) and the couple in the pew behind us caught me and lowered me onto the bench. All okay in 5 minutes and never repeated (yet).

So sorry to hear about your fall. That’s scary. Hope that you’re feeling better soon, and that your doctor gives you the A-OK. For now, take it real easy.
Great to know that Eva is very level-headed.
Take care, Nicole.

Yes, We are too old to fall. I hope your aches are short lived and there is no real problem that caused the blacking out. Glad you weren’t alone. Eva is one smart cookie. Take it easy today. Oh, I love that table topper.

So sorry about your fall. My hubby did the same thing three years ago. And it ended up being something with his heart. Drs couldn’t figure it out, but apparently there were some skipped beats which made him faint. Take care and get it checked out.

I am so glad that you seem to be ok but I already know what you doctor will say. “you should have gone to the ER or called 911.” You never know what is going on. Be prepared for lots of tests! LOL

oh, dear! my husband fainted and hit his head on the tile floor in August. it was so scary. he just fainted because he got up too quick.
I’m so sorry this happened to you. I know how much it hurts. I’m so ready for 2021 to be over with. rest is the only thing you can do. ice packs did help my husband’s neck.

I’m so sorry about your fall – I hope the aches go away soon. Obviously something to tell your doctor about so it doesn’t happen again. Kudos to Eva for remaining so calm!

So sorry to hear it– this can happen if you are dehydrated… which I take from the cue that you needed a drink at that moment. Hope it is as simple as that! xoxo

I hope your doctor gives you the okay to stay home and stitch and read for a few days. You have been quite busy. Your table topper is lovely as are all your quilts. Your work was my model when I first started quilting, so many lovlies.

Your topper is lovely.

You must have been so frightened! I’m actually glad that your granddaughter was around, just in case anything happened (worse!) had happened to you. Take care of yourself. I know how much you do to take care of your other family members.

Oh dear lord. Let’s hope you haven’t broken your hip! We *are* too old to fall. I was at dad’s a few weeks ago, wearing an ancient pair of flip flops with slick soles and as I was crossing the living room to go get his cup of coffee my feet just went out from under me. I crashed into the coffee table and gave myself a terrific bruise on my arm. Dad didn’t bat an eye. Just looked at me like it was a normal occurrence for me to flail around his living room like a lunatic.

So so sorry to hear about your fainting accident! Please take care of yourself and get some rest. A few days reading is always good! You do so much – make sure the caregiver is taking time to rejuvenate!

I’m so sorry Nicole. This happens to animals too! One time we were sitting in the kitchen while the dogs ate their dinner. Beren looked up at us and then started to fall. Hubby caught him (big dog) and got him to the ground. He was out for a few minutes. We did take him to the vet but they had no idea. It never happened again.
I’m glad Eva was there, and was so cool about it.
I like the bird. I have that pattern somewhere.
