I'm a klutz. I've fallen a lot.
When I slip backwards I either try to brace and land on my ass or back in a way to prevent from getting hurt or at the very least to prevent my head from smacking on the ground. Or I try to over correct and fall forward. It's harder to overcorrect unless you have something to grab onto to prevent your fall.
If I was Love here I would have tried to overcorrect and force myself forward by reaching out and grabbing the jackass. As for the knee jab...it's hard to say if it was on purpose or just instinct. Or even from trying to overcorrect and use too much force.
I've twisted my ankle just walking. My ankle just collapsed and went sideways. Had heeled shoes on so it was like a five inch fall. Hurt so bad for hours and then was fine after heat and ice treatment. Of course, that was when I was young and healed faster.
Just the other day I was walking in my house and with no tripping my ankle started to hurt. I still don't know HOW I sprained the damn thing. I kept weight off of it and it was fine. Then hours later it was hurting again. Took a day this time to fully go away.
It wasn't that painful. Just annoying. Like how and why. My migraines are worse on my pain scale.
Agreed, there is something off about Love. But I think he's like Mr. Magoo, just klutzy and unlucky and sometimes that helps him in fights. lol
Just last month. I went to bring in our dog a hyper boston terrier from his leash chain to the tree in the front yard. We live in a rural area and don't have fences and he runs off so he has a 40 foot leash to a tree.
The ground was wet on the porch as I opened the front door. The dog was hyper. I bent down to unleash him and was trying to keep the front door opened. I fell on my ass, hard, on the concrete and the dog went into the house. I screamed so loud.
Man it hurt. My ass was all wet too. Had to change my clothes. lol.
Something about him is just weird. It's like hes pretending on he's personality. And that kick was no accident!
