I FELL DOWN THE STAIRS! (8.5.15)

[@raeward8092]

Of all the episodes I re-watch, this one makes me laugh most often. Being English and hearing Mary's rendition of my accent is just so funny, I literally have tears rolling down my face!

[@RaeJae3089]

You guys are so blessed to have such a wonderful relationship.

[@itisnoteasybeingwheezy4912]

Oh wow sorry you fell Mary! I hope you feel better soon! It is so cool how dogs can tell when their human is not feeling very good! Love to Mary and Peter and Ollie!

[@HOODSSWEETIE]

It's been 7 months so I surely hope that all healed well and that you are feeling much better now. I just love the two of you, y'all are precious.

[@marlenelewis4434]

I think anyone would have trouble breathing when they fall down like you did Mary. As long as you're ok now. Not surprised that Mary is sore, cause she doesn't have much meat on her butt to begin with, to have cushioned the blow. On a lighter note- did anyone else notice that Ollie's hair on top of his sweet head, kind of looked just like Peter's hair on top of his head in the shot of Ollie lying in his bed, and then camera moved to Peter. Check it out Mary, and see what you think and let me know!! I really hope you feel better soon,

[@brendametube]

LOLOLOL! That's not the first time peters here has been compared to Ollies:)

[@Em15foreverdance]

I really hope you are ok Mary!! Get well soon.. Also Peter is so sweet how he cares for you!

[@thefreylife]

Em15foreverdance Thanks so much! i'm less sore today thankfully! Still hobbling around though :)

[@debbieschlemmer2746]

I just placed an order for your 8 x 10 "Don't forget to laugh" print. I'm so excited! You are so talented Mary. :-) Thank you!

[@JavaFirst]

I hope Ollie and Mary are feeling better today. It's hard when an animal does not know what to do or why something is happening at least Mary can communicate.

[@jaytee2642]

Yowie!!!! Tailbone pain is quite unpleasant. How's that for an understatement? LOL I peeked ahead at the titles of the upcoming vlogs, and no mention is made of Dr's, or hospital visits, so I'm hoping bedrest was all that was needed. So scary, though. :-( Ollie is so stinkin' sweet. He knew something was wrong with you, he didn't know how to make it better, so he administered the best medicine he could....doggy snuggles. I sure do love your curly boy.

[@hayleyhowell12]

Hi Mary! I've been watching your videos for a little while now and I just wanted to let you know that you are an inspiration to me to keep going even though times are hard and you don't feel well. I don't have CF, but I am chronically ill and in pain.

[@sandycan1]

Mary sorry you hurt your bum! I fell down the front stairs and the edge of the stairs , well I fell on that on my glutes ( cheeks) and man that hurt ! And also my left shoulder ... My husband said to me don't wear them flip flops anymore... Well I just want to say I hope you feel better soon and heat or ice will help ... Not sure which but the pharmacist could tell you or if it's too painful go to a doctor! Take care ! Ollie is a sweetheart 💞🙏🏼

[@anekedekoker2946]

Oh my gosh I love you guys. You always make my day. I wish I could email Mary. You guys are such an inspiration to many people. I have Asthma and Epilepsy so I know that having breathing problems sucks. Lots of hugs from South-Africa. ❤❤❤

[@kaylabuchner3863]

South Africa ftw 😊😉

[@jeansmith1388]

[@carolynlong9148]

I'm so glade you're all right Mary from your fall. Peter and Ollie were there at the right time. I took a fall on the stairs in middle school. I landed on my knees with my right ankle twisted behind my back. Unfortunately it was the last day of school before Thanksgiving break and I missed out on saying good buy to my school friend's.

[@jj4christ]

Oh Mary ouch! Hugs lots of them. Passing out is never good.

[@kiwicaitlin2999]

mary i think it is still great that you always smile ilyg

[@Ashyjojo99]

Oh no Mary that must of hurt, those evil stairs haha!! I broke my foot just walking up the stairs once... I hope you feel better!

[@DougPaulley]

I so identify with your experience here. I have Shy Drager syndrome / Multi-system Atrophy and have vasovagal attacks all the time, I pass out several times a day, and how you describe it is completely how I experience it. I hope it was a one-off and you've not had this since - scary and also confidence-zapping!

[@AngelicaMCosme]

Omg I was litterly crying the minute I saw the video and I was so scared u where seriously hurt but luckily your ok now

[@yasminv_28]

I hope your BUM gets better soon!! And I love the promo code!!

[@danawhitt949]

I'm sorry you got hurt Mary... God bless you..... Take it easy.. Your new fan, Dana W.😇😇🙏🏻🙏🏻🌸💓💖💐🎉💞💕💗🌷💖🌸🎉😇❤️🙏🏻💟💓🌷💗💝😇❤️🙏🏻💓💟💞🎈💐

[@longtail4711]

Stairs terrify me. I have nightmares about having an "episode" on stairs. I'm so relieved you're OK!

[@craftyoldlady]

So sorry, Mary. I hope you have recovered from your fall. Keep a watch on that broken bum. Falling like that can cause problems!

[@thefreylife]

+Sylvia Phillips (Faith, Hope, and Love) really?! I figured they can't do anything for a sore bum...what kind of problems?

[@sillyotter9047]

Maybe when you fell you got the wind knocked out of you! I am sure with CF that happening is probably much longer lasting! I hope you are feeling better soon Mary. Peter I know you are working on this long really great paper and I hope you share it with us when you're done. (If you feel comfortable.) I am sure lots of people would love to see it.

[@thefreylife]

+SillyOtter Thank you so much for your care and encouragement! I'm sure if he is able, Peter will love to share his paper :)

[@sylviacreswell5348]

So, so glad you are okay! Imagine if you had fallen when Peter wasn't there!

[@StephlovesJesusandCountryMusic]

awwww cuteness overload @ 9:19 goood Job OliBoy!!!!!!!!

[@TheAGcollector101]

I'm so glad Mary's okay! I think you bruised your tailbone, I did that once and it hurt.

[@brendametube]

Ohhh Mary! I was so sad to hear this tonight. I know that pain, and it makes me sad to think that you're having to deal with that. I'm so thankful that you said it was better today. I bruised mine decades ago but the worst thing happened last year. I went outside on an old hammock swing and pushed it back as far as I could so that when I let go I could get a real good swing out of it. At my age(45) I should've known better. Well when I lifted my feet I found out how rotted the old swing was and went straight down on my boom:( this time it was not only a bruise. I felt the break and had to sit on my knees just catching my breath for quite a few minutes from the pain before I could move. Here I am one year later and still when I get up to walk many times I feel pain for the first few steps depending on what type of seat I was sitting in. Seeing you sit sideways like that provokes lots of empathy for you. I know you said you're feeling much better today, but I'm still going to pray that you fully recover ASAP because even coughing can hurt a bruised coccyx bone. I know you don't need that right now on top of CF challenges. Your positive attitude wonderfully inspiring and contagious! Ps... Sounds crazy, but after a few days you can start a little therapy for it. Believe it or not if you squeeze your buttocks together it makes certain things like getting up and down easier.… And it kind of rehabilitates it a bit. LOL LOL. Peter, please DO include us if there is any way you can when your paper is finished. The "laid-back" video version of your paper sounds awesome too! As I said before, Jesus taught in parables so He must find the method of imagination and teaching very effective or He would not have done it. Hmmm... I wonder if he ever used props? OK, you three:)))) we love you!!! #GOODJOBOLLIE!

[@thefreylife]

+brendametube We love you too! Thanks for always being you!

[@brendametube]

Lol! I'm replying to my own reply! I promise I am not a narcissist! It's just that we didn't realize there was a character limit and part of our reply got cut. We wanted to tell Peter how much we would love it if he is in fact able to share his thesis when it is complete. We really enjoyed AND GREW from his sermons on your website. We continue to pray for him as he so faithfully pushes on with his work. A laid-back video version would be so cool! The Wilcox force is definitely all in and rooting for Peter!

[@tashaleigh13]

I am glad you are ok!

[@debbieschlemmer2746]

That was scary when I read your title to today's Vlog!. I'm glad you're doing ok Mary. I hate stairs! I've tripped on them 3 times now in the past years, broke my ankle once and sprained it once. The time I sprained it was a few weeks before our sons wedding in Maui- 7 years ago- and I was hoping I wasn't in that silly boot on their wedding day since it was in the sand and I wanted to wear sandals. I hoped and prayed and guess what, I was able to wear my new sandals to their wedding. Yea! anyway, I'm sure we all have stories to tell about stupid stairs. Oh, and i don't know about you, but I always felt "stupid" after falling. don't know why. :-) Well, have a good rest of the day, I'm so proud of you Peter working so hard and so dedicated on your paper, and at the same time always watching over and lovingly caring for Mary. And I know Mary cares as much about you as you do about her. :-) See you tomorrow! Hugs to all 3 of you- Ollie is so cute being a snuggle buddy to help you feel better.

[@thefreylife]

+Debbie Schlemmer Hi Debbie! Thanks for sharing in our pain! Ouch! So glad you got to celebrate his wedding in your sandals! PS. Thanks for your order! I'm getting it ready right now! Hug!

[@debbieschlemmer2746]

The Frey Life Mary, I'm so excited to receive your painting! I've got to go out and pick out the perfect frame now. :-) Hugs like always!

[@dizzycowuk]

Ouch that sounds painful! I hope it heals quickly x

[@krystamyers4502]

Bless that little Cycstic Fibrosis Heart 💗😱😱😱😱😱

[@GraysonCarr]

That has happened to me a couple times in the past. I sometimes feel dizzy and lightheaded if I haven't eaten much or only ate carbs and sugary things without much fat or protein for breakfast. Sitting down and eating something with carbs or sugars usually clears it up within a few minutes, so I'm guessing it has to do with blood sugar being low. The two times I passed out it just came over me quickly and I didn't think to go sit down in time. I had the same cold sweat as Mary did after. Anyways, glad you're okay Mary. Might want to buy some glucose tablets from the grocery store. You chew one if you are feeling dizzy and it raises your blood sugar quickly to keep you from passing out.

[@haydenroth6990]

Peter, you are absolutely amazing.

[@RobynG70]

ouch Mary... I don't know what it is with that coccyx bone but my mom fell one time, she was sitting in a low lounge chair in the yard one summer and the chair slammed down onto the concrete and her coccyx bone with it and she passed out from the pain as well. take it easy the next week or so you're going to be sore sweetie. sending lots of love xoxo

[@christinethompson6924]

I'm so glad you're ok Mary. Be careful. :)

[@huntrjumpr]

Ouch!! Mary, I'm glad you are ok! You might need a doughnut pillow to sit on for a while. I bet floating in the pool would help it feel better too. Peter, I would love a video on what your paper is about!

[@StarryDreamer28]

I've done falls on my tailbone alot - it does knock you silly awhile. it will kinda "paralyze" you for a couple mins. it will hurt for about a week

[@drethomas72]

Mary go see a chiropractor right away! I use to be a chiropractor assistant. That pain will come back. That's a really bad fall! Hope you feel better soon!! God bless you!

[@laurenfanson]

Mary, I am so so sorry :(. I don't like the fact you fell down the stairs. I'm EXTREMELY worried about you :(. Are you okay love? If I was there I would have brought you straight to the ER.. That's not good passing out. Could be from the meds too. Love you Mary, praying for you and glad you're doing better :)

[@mariamabah6279]

loving this couple

[@wolfsrule100]

Oh my!!!! Im so glad your ok Mary!!!! I got really worried.

[@thefreylife]

+wolfsrule100 I'm doing much better now! Still hurts, but much better!

[@steveholloway672]

I really hope you are okay Mary, get well soon

[@kiwicraner2538]

Whoo! I think you scared more than a few of us Frey Life -Followers (Fryers?) with that title! I'm glad you're okay though. You guys can find humour in anything #IBROKEMYBUM. Haha! By the way, Peter, I'm suuuper interested in your paper and I can't wait for that special video. I'd love to see more of your work here on the channel. Maybe a Pastor Peter mini series?!?? Anyway, feel better soon Mary! Sending prayers, God bless :)

[@brendametube]

Please go to their website at Www.peterfrey.org . You will be completely blessed by his amazing preaching there. Just click on "preaching" and enjoy five of his amazing sermons! Do be prepared to grow and to hear a refreshing style of preaching. I could not help but be so thankful that he put these podcasts up:)

[@MelissaHevenor]

So sorry darling sending hugs😘❤️

[@thefreylife]

Melissa Hevenor Thanks so much!

[@elizabethwillis8138]

I just started watching... my grandma used to live in Boston!!!

[@ShoalBear]

I did the same thing once, but I flew up and landed 'flat' on my back but on the corners of the steps. Then slid down to the bottom. Man it hurt like *******! My dog came and just stood over me while I tried to breathe again. Knocked the air out of me. I would guess you probably knocked the air out quickly bit, and with your c.f. it made you feel faint and all. Glad you are ok and didn't suffer any serious injury!

[@facemonkey13]

I'm glad you're ok. How scary!

[@cristinmagana40]

Hope You Feel Better ! 😌... Love You Too 😘

[@diychic1014]

Oh my goodness Mary, I had the same thing that happened. Except I didn't pass out. I actually fell down the whole flight of stairs. I ended up having a fractured tailbone. That's not fun. All you do is sit in bed all day. I hope your ok Mary.

[@vickistanton9972]

God Bless you both...you are an inspiration...

[@cynthiaandena6211]

Your cute Oliboy. I hope you get better.

[@ivyleafwinters]

I just went tubing and I feel like I broke my bum soo we are in the same boat love you Mary Peter and Ollie

[@davef3826]

Feel better soon

[@shelbybuono1674]

Feel better Mary); I suffer from chronic fainting spells.. their so common with me.. I hope your okay!!!

[@eej1983able]

Oh my goodness! I'm glad you're okay after falling! Yikes!

[@charityd2269]

It's a good thing you were there Peter when Mary slipped. 😔 What if you weren't? 😢 How would have Ollie handled it if Peter wasn't there?

[@ssherrill90]

Is your back doing better? Praying for you sweet Mary!

[@thefreylife]

+S Sherrill my tailbone hurt alot worse today than yesterday :( I did not expect that! Perhaps tomorrow will be less painful :)

[@katesansoni7120]

Mary I fell into a empty raised bed garden box and broke my tailbone ! Yeowch I feel for you!

[@hearsthewater]

I had to laugh at your discount code, because when I was 19 I fell on my hiney and broke my tailbone. So I really did break my bum too! Still hurts 20 years later.

[@charlenegenge8795]

Does Oliver sleep with you? Did Oliver come to your aid when he knew you needed him? I'm totally hooked on your vlogs it's part of my everyday routine💜💙👍👍👍👍🌻

[@shelbybuono1674]

If you ever feel tingly and dizzy put your head between your knees girl! 😊

[@ZestBrew]

I've had a really bad fall down the steps before and I've had that thing where I couldn't talk. I actually like rolled down half of the steps 😬

[@constancemcknight2075]

been there done that i have fallen many times on my butt due to balance issues from my disability (spina bifida) im lucky that i have never broken a bone yet and the worst injury from anything was torn cartilage in 2 places in my knee and that was from when i was hit by a car crossing a cross walk in my chair a few years ago glad your feeling better now

[@WayToSkateKate]

Mary, I don't know if you ever have problems with your tailbone anymore but one of my friends fell just like you and walking and sitting were terrible for her. After two months of it still hurting, her Internal Medicine Dr. referred her to a physical therapist that specializes in pelvic injuries and tailbone injuries. This PT manually brought the tailbone into the correct position! When my friend fell, she actually knocked the bone a bit and it was sort of "tucked under". Orthopaedic Dr said surgery was her only option, but this Physical Therapist said pushing it back into place was much better. And the best part is, my friend said it didn't hurt at all to have it done! She's been pain free for well over a year now. Actually, this is good information for anyone who reads this. The procedure is done manually through the....um....anus, but I've since met so many people that also had it done and they said it changed their life. I'd totally recommend it based on my friend's experience.

[@sister0933]

Ok Since Mary is ok- I was dying with the Napoleon insert!

[@yakiri982]

Good shes ok

[@samueltan2264]

Hope the bruised bum's healing well! Anyway, any thoughts of shipping your painting internationally? I would like to purchase it

[@chrstnlmllr51]

So sorry you had such a traumatic fall, Mary and I'm so glad you're feeling ok. Tomorrow may be different as far as pain in your bum. Could you have been in shock when you couldn't talk and you were green around your mouth? Confusion & ashen skin are two symptoms.

[@thefreylife]

+Christine M Yes, I do believe my body was in shock for about 5 or 10 minutes

[@davidbenson3361]

+The Frey Life love you mary

[@TesaJane]

Peter: I think making a video version of your paper is a great idea! Not to mention very organic considering that KZbin is a sort of a modern creative extension of preaching

[@lafebishop8594]

you should rename Ollie Paul then y'all can be that band from the 60's Peter Paul and Mary lmao jk would be funny though ;-)

[@sarahelizabeth623]

I don’t know why THIS came up in my recommendations, but I fell down the stairs over Christmas break & sprained my ankle. I had wet, slushy boots on and ran downstairs to grab something I had forgotten at my dad’s. About three stairs from the bottom, I biffed it really good. My entire ankle and top of my foot were swollen for almost a month and bruised for about three weeks. I have never been injured like that before but I crawled into my bedroom and just laid on the floor sobbing in pain. Eventually, I climbed up the stairs on my knees with a gigantic box overflowing with classroom supplies. I finally made it to urgent care (after driving myself with a bum driving ankle) to find out it was sprained. 😳 Still in some pain and swollen when I am on my feet a lot teaching.

[@brynnejewell1275]

I know this is an old video, but shortness of breath after a fall like that is perfectly normal for anyone. You literally get the air knocked out of you. So been there ! lol Glad you weren't hurt worse. Anyway, love you guys and just getting caught up on the older vids. :)

[@MrJohnsob]

Ohh ya Mary will be very very sore for at least a few months. When I was 8 weeks pregnant with my last baby I fell and landed hard on my tail bone and after we knew the baby was ok... thank goodness! It took me over 4 months to be able to sit on my butt. I had actually fractured my tail bone but didn't find out till after my baby was born cause u can't get X-ray while pregnant. I still can't stay sitting on hard surfaces for long because of my tailbone I sit on one butt cheek then the other. Lol

[@jdiquattro1406]

I passed out on the landing of a flight of stairs. I woke up at the bottom , with a broken ankle, and a spinal cord injury. really bad experience.

[@OgramRavot21]

I had two falls this year (2020) and one was the 199th of August and I was hurting so bad and kind of shocked that I wouldn't breathe cause of the pain. It took awhile to fully breath normal again. I busted my knees and my left knee is "again" recovering :'( I'm scared I'm gonna fall again. Be careful Mary. Happy you didn't break anything. 💜

[@twistedterror6942]

wow mary. glad your ok. but hoping you are totally ok. stairs scare the poo out of me cuz when i was younger my mom fell the exact same way as you and fracture her lower vertebrae and ended up in a wheelchair for 6 years. shes fine now. say loads of prayers for you!

[@courtney7588]

Yes whenever I take a hard fall it's like it sucks all the air out of me and it's takes me a few seconds to regain my focus and start breathing again.

[@cmt24]

you broke your tailbone poor girl!! i am addicted to your vlog.

[@thefreylife]

+cmt It turns out it was just bruised I think... It was painful for about 3 weeks, and I ended up going to the chiropractor, which helped a bit :)

[@VulcanOnWheels]

+The Frey Life I'm relieved it turned out not to be as bad as you thought it would be.

[@coolgirl1067]

[@Imadeabooboo69]

Hi Mary, have you ever thought about the life alert thing, its i think a necklace you where and if you fall you push a button and it alerts 911 for you.. I was told about it by a nurse because i have been falling alot lately and my son has just recently moved out and does not live close enough to come help me. If your able to get that it could be a great safety thing for when your husband is not home. :-)

[@brendavoshel9423]

Yes sweetie, you did pass out. I know that feeling all too well.

[@c_lemyclue]

I fell down the stairs when I was 6, 7 and that hurt! I think I may have fainted when I got to the bottom, because I had my eyes closed and so on

[@lilliancollins9698]

I am sorry to hear you fell. It can be scary! I fell this past Sunday night in my back yard and my husband had to take me to the ER. I fell forward and my face hit the ground. I ended up breaking my nose and my left knee is severely bruised and it was really swollen. Thankfully I didn't fracture or break my knee.

[@thefreylife]

I hope you are okay and hope you feel better soo

[@Erin-dw7ei]

You guys are Awsome

[@jasonallen984]

Depends on how hard you hit the stairs you may have only bruised the bone in your bum. With my disability i can not do stairs anymore i walk with a crutch and stairs suck. I fell a couple years ago in my moms drive and broke my bum seriously broke it so so terrible had to sit on donuts for months or my side felt like a idiot but mom did say not wearing my brace and crap sandles would be the death of me lol moms are right all the time.

[@AimeeMarble]

just found you vlog lately. how's your tailbone? I broke my tailbone once when I slipped on a rock and passed out. Your description of passing out was spot on.

[@thefreylife]

It's all better now, thanks :)

[@skrodlada]

Is there only a U.S. store?

[@drina4706]

Oh, Mary. I think that GOD protected you when you fell down those stairs. He made sure that you just got bruised and nothing else. Like you said, it could have been a lot worse! God forbid!

[@cghynd]

awww sorry that happened to Mary!! if your vision went black, you probably passed out because that happened to me a few times!
