Slipped and Fell at Wal-Mart

Idahomama

I was at Wal-Mart this morning buying a few last minute things to put in my bag for the hospital.  I went to turn down an isle and totally slipped and fell o the floor.  There was water (no sign to warn me) and I just happened to walk right in a fall.  Thank god when I fell, I fell to my side, so I twisted weird and my hip is sore, but I never bang the belly or anything. 
I scared my poor friend that was with me.  A manager from Wal-Mart saw it happen and came right over.  She insisted for liability reasons that we fill out incident reports. 
I called my doc and was told that as long as I am not having any bleeding and I am actively feeling the baby move, that I don't need to come in.  Well I am for sure feeling the baby move.  I think I woke him up, he is moving more than ever today.
Anyway, can't wait to not be a clutz any longer.

Did the manager see the water on the floor?  Did it get included in the reports?

I'm glad to hear you're okay!!

Wow, I'm glad you're ok and that the manager took the incident seriously.  That must have been a scary experience for you though!

I'm sorry this happened to you. Good thing the baby is fine!

Oh no! Thank goodness you're ok. I'm always afraid of falling. I wouldn't think you're a clutz, Walmart should be monitoring their store for hazards better.

You poor thing!  I had a similar experience at Wal-Mart my freshman year of college.  They had a huge soap display up and someone had squeezed out an entire bottle of clear soap on the floor surrounding it.  Of course I couldn't see the soap on the floor and stepped in it.  I slid across the floor and slammed into a shelf.  It caused a huge cut in my leg.  There was blood everywhere.  I hunted down a worker to tell them what happened and the woman looked at me and shrugged and said, "I guess we'll put a sign up."  That's it!  No "Are you okay?" or "Is there anything we can do for you?"  I was livid.  I refuse to shop at Wal-Mart anymore because of this.

I'm so sorry, I fell a couple of weeks ago and just started crying for no real reason.

I am always so afraid of falling like this!!  (Purely because of embarassment not because I'm worried about anything bad happening!)

Yikes!  Same thing almost happened to me today at the grocery store (I caught myself).  You could sue you know...

Sue...that is what my husband keeps joking around about.  He keeps saying we could both retire.  If I had any actual damage I would do it for sure.  But all seems to be fine.  I would be okay if I ended up going into labor.  As long as the little guys is okay.
