I fell down in Dublin
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- I fell down on the street in Dublin after struggling to walk around. Sometimes it is hard to slow down and listen to your body but you have too. I felt poorly before the adventure began suffering fatigue and soreness from my trip to kiss the Blarney Stone. Adventure with me as I struggle to see the sights in Dublin, including Dublin Castle, statues of Oscar Wilde and Molly Mae, Christ Church, St. Andrew and more. Enjoy another day from my British Isle cruise on the Regal Princess.

F the fat shamers,Tony. Glad you’re not hurt and thanks as always for the excellent content!
video tugged at my heart. being on chemo and love to travel, i learned the hard way to not push beyond limits. we can still enjoy the trip. glad you were ok.
Miss you my love! Glad that you are doing ok. I miss you so much.
Miss you too my love!
Awe your so sweet
Walking down flights of stairs uses muscles you didn't know you had. But now you know!
Tony I give you huge props for walking 18,000 steps. That is a ton regardless of what anyone weighs. You are a class act and put out great content. Glad you are ok! You don't let the adventures stop you and you are seeing the world. Life is too short and no room for any people with negativity. You totally rock Tony and are a real asset to the You Tube community.
That's what I was thinking too! 18,000 steps in one day is alot for the average person. I know it would be alot for me and a big fat no from my husband (who is not overweight, but has a bad back).
Yep, I've got some extra pounds and a meniscus tear.. and 10,000 steps would be enough for me! So 18,000 is epic. Hope your knee is okay!😄👍
Yes…..ditto!
As a born Dubliner I was frankly amazed at the amounts of places you visited in less than one day. Trinity College, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Christchurch Cathedral, Marshes library, Dublin Castle amongst others. I would never do all of those in one day, way too much ground to cover but well done you managed it. Hope you enjoyed my home city!
I know! We visited Ireland in 2019 and spent a week in Dublin (well my husband was at a conference) but it meant we could take things at a reasonable pace❤
Thank God you are alright. ❤
Typical American. VIsited Europe in 3 days. Been everywhere, saw nothing.
He’s a legend ,but It’s bonkers , on mini marathon day too. Tony should have gone to Temple bar after to cap it off with a few overpriced Guinness’s
Tony, I'm so glad you are Ok. Hang in there and keep up the great work
I’m glad you’re okay. Descending stairs is actually harder on anybody’s joints, so it makes sense that it hurt more. Coupled with the previous day’s hike, and the climb… I’m happy you talked about limitations - most of us push ourselves naturally, and you’re in Ireland and you don’t want to miss this grand opportunity to explore, so it is TOTALLY understandable that you ventured out. I would’ve done the same, I’m sure. Again, glad you’re feeling good and are able to get around.😊
Definitely harder coming down. Walking down backwards helps. I remember well from my knee replacement surgery.
Great video. So sorry you fell, but you got back up! I appreciate you. Blessings!
Glad you are ok. That's a lot of walking. Maybe ice down your injuries then spend time soaking in hot tub. Love your vlogs and you are with friends.
Oh man - as someone with crappy knees, going downstairs is 10x as painful as going upstairs!
Tony, you're awesome. You are NOT limited and you get out there more than so many people. Don't let people try to dull your shine, they're just miserable. I WISH I were as active as you.
Tony, I’ve said this before. You’re outlook on life brings many smiles to people and that is a trait very few have. Keep doing what you do and ignore the noise. Glad your ok.
sorry about the fall. A lot of people around me have fallen. Weight is not always the issue. Be careful and can't wait to see more.
Tony, I'm a big bloke myself (110Kg or 242lbs) and I admire the way you get around and do all these vids. Sorry to hear about your fall. The same thing happened to me when the lovely Sandy & I were in Bali. One minute I was walking down some stairs, chatting away as I normally do, missed my step, then I was sprawled out on the sidewalk. I think I sprained my wrist as it is still sore after 3 months. Keep up the great work. Great to see Don, Jay and Jenny enjoying this cruise with you.
Glad you're ok ☺️
Your health is so much more important than seeing sites on your vacation. When my body tells me to stop, I immediately stop I don’t push myself and I am 75 years old. Definitely a warning for you. Slow down smell the flowers. 18,000 steps is kind of equal to 9 miles? Wow that’s a lot of walking you did for sure. I have a hard time walking up and down 10 stairs. Glad you enjoyed Dublin except for your little incident. Be safe we’re expecting you to keep on doing your thing for us.!!
Tony, glad to know you're ok. Falls can be very scary! Take care!
I am glad you are not seriously hurt Tony.
As a larger person myself, you are inspiring me to do more traveling. And you are right in that we must know our limitations, yet we should not let our size pigeon hold us into not trying new things either!
Thank you for sharing your adventures and your vulnerability with us!
So glad to hear you're ok!!
Great advice! Check your limitations!! Something I have to keep telling myself each day as I watch my dear friends and family move about having fun at a fast pace. Medical issues won't allow me to, but sometimes I forget and suffer the consequences.
I must say though that it is beyond rude for someone to comment negatively on your weight or anything else about you.
You are a wonderful person with a beautiful wife and an excellent channel. I really appreciate your content and your personality.
I've watched many of your videos but don't usually comment. Today I chose to say my piece.🥰
You nailed it Tony! Those people are rude. First of all sorry about your mishap. It is a perfect example of how people derive such glee from tearing people down. Shame on them. I for one admire your tenacity in getting out there and pushing to live your life with great experiences. I am 70 years old, 110 pound lady that was an avid tennis player at the time even with COPD. We were at the Rock of Gibraltar. We had taken the cable car up and decided to walk down (about a 3 hour cruising walk) to the bottom. It was wonderful. The next morning I tried to get out of bed and my legs would not hold me up without excruciating pain. When you walk down steep terrain the muscles have to work differently, not a normal stretch. The stairs probably did a lot and I am sure you were walking up and down hills also during your day. I was sore for days. I learned what could happen and so did you. Again, you GO Tony and don’t let the jerks get to you. Suggest carrying some Lidocaine patches or roll on and some anti inflammatory drugs with your kit. It helps. And keep up your travels. Am so glad you (or your camera) were not damaged severely. Hats off!
I'm glad you weren't injured and you even turned the unfortunate situation into a positive video about knowing your limits. What a guy! Take care Tony!
Wow ! Seeing all the comments I wonder if you'll even see mine!...Glad your okay also!!!...My husband and I started watching your videos about a year ago when we were getting ready for our Alaskan cruise..then we just loved your style and humor....We are thinking of taking this same cruise you are now on in Europe...we have been to Blarney Castle twice and gone up...I have kissed the stone...and yes it is quite an ordeal getting to the top( my older brother was with us also both times, his first attempt he turned around and went back) the second time he didn't even attempt it. So kudos to you for doing it all!....Absolutely agree with you a hundred percent on no shaming!...I wanted to publicly thank you for voicing that!!!....My step mother was very tiny and ( I really wasn't over weight at all) but she was constantly shaming me growing up....then my inlaws started in where she left off...now I really am over weight..Recently I was in a thrift store and this elderly lady out of the clear blue says to me you need to loss weight! And started writing down a book title for me to get!...I told her fat people don't need to be told we're over weight we already know it.
Further more I told her I've been called overweight all my life even when I wasn't until recently...But she didn't let up in trying to " fix" me....We talked about other things...she gave me her contact information in parting....The whole encounter very much troubled me. I me...finally, I ripped up the paper she gave me and decided with friends like this who needs enemies!!!...I don't need anymore people like this in my live...which is what I will tell her if I encounter her ever again!!!....God Bless you Toni!!!!..You be you!!!!
Hey, it happens to all of us Tony. It's definitely happened to me. Love your videos and enjoying Ireland through your eyes. Thanks for great content!!
when i was younger, running to get to school, tripped & ended up in the garbage can!😂
😂😂😂😂
@@looknbakatu Have you been talking trash since then? 😒 😅
Thank you for showing all of us who are plus size or have mobility issues that we can travel and see the great places. This video is why I subscribed. Safe travels.
Falling over is horrible. I hope you are not too sore. I have to pace myself now I am old and fat. I am so sorry to hear that people are so rude to you. As you say, we know better than they our size and our limitations. This cruise series is fabulous and thank you so much for sharing your excitement and enthusiasm. Remember to take care of Tony. Perhaps a spa visit is called for next sea day!
Ah, Molly Malone - the tart with the cart! Your gentle touch should have brought you good luck!
Very glad you weren’t seriously injured. Knowing your limits is a good lesson to learn.
Sorry you had a rough day Tony. Hope the knee is feeling better and heels up quickly. Take care of yourself and glad you had some friends with you to keep a close eye on you and provide you some assistance. ❤❤️❤
I'm so sorry you fell (this is one of my biggest fears when doing a lot of walking on an excursion)! Glad you are ok! Please be sure to hydrate early and often, and you might want to book a massage 😉. I think this vlog series with you, ParodeeJay and Don is my favorite! Love your content as always! Looking forward to the next one!
I think it's not so much the amount of walking, although that contributes as well of course, but more the pace of walking. When you're with friends who naturally walk much faster than you do it's hard to keep up with them, but you don't want to slow them down, which can easily lead to overexerting yourself.
Agree
I am glad that you weren't seriously hurt, at least you were amongst your friends!! You are a real trouper, that is one of the reasons I follow your channel!! Thank you Tony!!
About 7 years ago my wife was in a group singing at Christ Church. Absolutely beautiful acoustics. After, we went to the Guinness brewery. Such a great trip.
Risking your health while traveling is definitely worth considering. We can only push ourselves so far. There are excursions that I used to do routinely, but now, at 55, I'll just say that I'm glad that I did them when I did! Risking an injury is so not worth it. I'm sorry you're dealing with an injury while on this fabulous cruise itinerary. Take it easy and maybe you can ice it while onboard.
Dude! First of all, glad you're okay and didn't die.
Second, you're here on the Regal Princess?? I'm Bruce, one of the singers in Bravo and the World Orchestra Music Event here on the Regal. I subscribe to your channel! 😎
You crushed it so hard the other night. Very cool. Great show.
I'm so glad you're ok!! Despite the fall it looks like an amazing time with great people. Love the accounts from Jay and Don😂 Take care
So very glad you didn't get seriously hurt. Thanks for making the world a better place.
I'm so glad you are okay!! the lesson for all of us is, "Do not ignore the signals our bodies give us, and, as you have said, "know our limitations!" Hope the rest of your trip is without any further mishaps,🥰 to anyone.
Part 2...and I'm so glad you are ok and can enjoy the rest of your trip. Thank you for sharing your travels with us!
Please stay vigilant and safe, Tony. I had a fall in Oslo, where I didn't pay attention to the uneven pavement which was bricked. Those falls can ruin a wonderful day, so stay careful and safe. The tour guide in Dublin pointed out the fine clothes on the Molly Malone statue, and his comment in thick Irish brogue was "Do you really think she was selling cockles and mussels?" Well, Dublin is beautiful. Stay well. Keep on croozin'.
You rock, Tony! You do two or three times what I could. I learned to listen to my body in Iceland. Good Lord...the amount of walking there... But once I said 'screw it, I'll do what I can and then sit when I want/need to', I found that I met some incredible people and had some awesome conversations with folks I met. I treasure those memories as much as my 'active' memories. At any rate, you impress the hell out of me. Glad you weren't hurt more seriously. (fwiw, back when I was thin, I was walking down the steps into the main dining room on the Norway. I don't know what happened, The ship moved up as I was stepping down. Or maybe my heel caught the edge of the step. All I know is that I went ass over ears down the two flights of stairs - and EVERYONE in the dining room saw me do it. I jumped up and found my fancy pants ripped at the knee and my knee already the size of a bowling ball. Perhaps not the best recommendation but a couple shots of aquavit later, my knee was feeling better and I was laughing with everyone. And, I had the prettiest purple bowling ball knee you've ever seen for the rest of the trip. All of that is to say - size doesn't matter. Accidents happen to everyone.)
Tony, sorry to hear about the fall. I hope that you are okay. You put in 18,000 steps? WOW!!! I'm impressed. I'm 64, 5'8" tall, and weigh 168 lbs. I don't think I can walk 18,000 steps in one day. That is amazing. Keep up the great work. Thanks for your videos.
Great video Tony! And a great reminder to all of us to listen to our bodies and not overdo it. But I do have to say your friends really let you down. The picture at the Molly statue was all you!!
Glad you're ok, Tony. Thanks for sharing your trip, and excursions :)
I’m glad you are all right Tony. ❤️
So sorry you fell down! As a plus size person myself, I think you are amazing with what you do! You whup the socks off a lot of travelers. I am aqainted with the pain of next-day recovery from jaunts like these, so I thank you profusely for sharing your experiences. I fell the other day after mopping my floor--it can happen anywhere! It doesn't feel good, so I hope you feel better soon and again, thank you for all you do!
So glad you didn't get hurt! I learned not to push myself to hard or my body pushes back. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Well Tony, we are proud of you! 18K is not easy on all of those hard surfaces. Europe is hard. We hope that you did not hurt yourself or your camera, and continue with your great coverage of the trip. Tell Don and Jay for us that they chickened out.
Glad the fall didn’t put you out of commission. Our friend fell on day two in Sydney and broke her wrist on their “Rocks” tour. It happens so fast. Take good Care!🙏
So glad you are alright! You keep doing you! I also took a horrendous fall a few years ago while on vacation and wound up in the hospital with a severely broken wrist and staples in my head. But once out of the hospital I continued on! Loving the Ireland videos. Would love to go there someday.
Hey Tony, I Glad You're Not Injured. I Appreciate You Traveling Around The World. Continue LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE. 🛳🛳
Hey, Tony. I feel for you. I tripped over a dozen x walking that endless plank onto the ship last week. Falling is scary and dangerous.
Thanks for always keeping it real.
Tony so glad you are OK! When I saw how crowded that train was I was shocked. Thank goodness when you fell you did not break your glasses! Glad you acknowledged your labored breathing I was concerned. After you described your leg muscles it sounds like maybe you are dehydrated.....water, water, more water and rest...get yourself a hot hot shower and chill in your cabin with a movie REST will help for sure. You had all that international flying which will dehydrate you. PLEASE stay safe and enjoy the rest of your cruise I am rooting for you!
Oh Tony. So relieved that you are ok, but me,
being experienced at that kind of fall, know you will feel it for the next few days. I admire your stamina and will to keep going for us (and D, J, and Don). Dublin had beautiful buildings. At beginning, I loved the “Figment of your Imagination” statement. Love that little guy😉 Hang in there. You are amazing and thanks for the video!❤👍
Really great and honest content. It's why you are so beloved by the cruising community. Glad you rebounded quickly. Enjoy the rest of your cruise.
I’m happy to hear you didn’t hurt yourself when you fell. Leg fatigue is the worst. Rest up so you can enjoy the rest of your port stops.
I am glad you weren't hurt Tony! If I were to offer a suggestion, don't worry about filming to and from locations; that may have contributed to your fall. I love seeing Don and the others who are with you. Take care, and enjoy Regal Princess. I was on her last fall and enjoyed it immensely!
Great picture of you guys having a joke. It’s a keeper. I enjoyed how you were able to convey an accurate video of how much walking and physical stamina is required to tour. ❤
18,000 steps is a lot for anyone! It is fun to see you visiting so many of the places I visited last October. Those European cruises are fabulous and so interesting but I think I mentioned on one of our Patreon chats that we visited 14 countries in 4 weeks……..fabulous trip but I came back to the ship everyday and had ice packs on my legs….so happy you are OK, my friend!
18,000 steps is a lot for you! That's a lot for most people!
Don & Jay didn't sound very concerned about you. I'm glad you were okay Tony. I do like the "I really fell for Dublin."
I'm so glad that you got to see so much of Dublin. I hope you are feeling better. Take it easy, friend❤
I am so glad you are ok.
Happy to hear you are feeling OK. You are an awesome narrator and tour guide. Keep up the great work and slow down!!😊
The fact that you can do as many steps as you do is very impressive. No shame.
Touring Europe can take it out of you. There is so much to see, and we probably all try to do too much because we don’t want to miss anything. I have learned the hard way that I can’t do as much as I once could. I hope you aren’t too sore from the fall, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the cruise! 🙂
Thank goodness you are okay!
Sounds like everyone on the train must have kissed the stone and gotten the gift of gab. 😂
I live in Dublin and have done for most of my life - I haven't been to some of those places... Fair play, you packed it all in.... and you got to tender in also - on the Friday before the tenders of most of the cruise ships were cancelled due to weather - so you got lucky... the annual mini (half) marathon was on also - so you got a LOT more people in the city than usual, hence the busy transport. But glad you got to see as much as you did... don't let the fall stop you from dropping by the next time you are in port... The Dirty Ol' Town was delighted to see you, thanks for stopping by.
Hey Hey Tony…So happy you weren’t seriously hurt and had great friends like Jay, Dee, and Don there with you. After all that still managed to get 18,000 Steps in…Congratulations 🎉You Take Care and Enjoy the rest of your awesome journey.👍
Tony. I’m glad you are ok.
Sorry for your fall Tony! As one who has taken a tumble on a trip...it's tough! Glad you were able to get up and carry on...I ended up going via ambulance to the hospital to await surgery on my elbow. No worries though, I sent my husband along our planned sightseeing places just so he'd have something to do and not have to just wait for a surgery day/time with me. In the end it all worked out but falling is never fun. I have a habit of always looking around at things and not paying attention to unfamiliar roadways...nowadays I TRY to take it easy and as you say, 'pay attention to my limitations'! Again, glad you are OK. P.S. Still love touring with you wherever you go! :)
I love your honesty and transparency. Everyone had good days, bad days, and better days. You are a cool guy and anyone who gets to hang out with ya is in good hands..... Just like that statue. ❤
Sorry to hear about the fall. Glad you’re ok. Thanks for sharing something that you didn’t have to tell us. Glad the camera is ok too
People are so mean!!! I love your videos! Don’t let anyone steal your joy. Haters are going to hate!!! Keep providing us with WONDERFUL information!!! I’m a forever supporter!!!
It’s very rude. I am full figured and run 5 and 10k races. I breathe heavily also. I am in shape, Howe I suffer from obesity. It is a disease and society and the medical community are barely coming around to this now. When someone eats right and works out harder than the skinny person next to them, there’s a problem. Don’t judge someone for their size. You have no idea the struggle or how badly we speak to ourselves. We don’t need your negativity on top of it
Can relate. I've fallen on a bad cobbled footpath, hurt my knee and hand and at 68, glad I didn't break anything. Being overweight and struggling to walk has spurred me on to do something about it, so that I can continue cruising and exploring into my 70's.
Several times I've turned around and gone back to the ship missing out on walking the port cities either due to extreme heat and humidity or pain. No more, I'll struggle through if it kills me. Even added my diet regime to future cruises right through into Nov '24, that's how I'm now viewing my life change.
Tony, Thank God your okay. 18,000 step WOW great job. You do you!! 👍😀👍 Keep those great videos coming!!
So sorry to read about your fall. Hopefully, you were not hurt too badly. You still amaze me as to how much you can do in a day. I don't think I could do it. Take care, be safe.❤❤
Glad you’re ok. I really do love your show. I look forward to seeing it every evening. Keep up the great work.
I’m like you Tony. I like to adventure out and see things. That’s why we travel for the experiences. I’m so happy you didn’t injure yourself too bad. Take it easy and feel better. ❤
We're sorry you fell Tony. We have really enjoyed your videos, and just hope for better health so that you will be producing them for many years to come and so you can enjoy any type of excursion.
Agreed! The hike down from the top of the castle is ROUGH on the legs for pretty much everyone. Glad you are ok good sir.
WOW, Tony! I'm just happy that you're okay!!!💛❤️💛
Thank you for sharing. I'm happy you are ok. Listen, great advice about knowing your limitations. Also, shame on anyone who BODY SHAMES another. You just keep doing you.
So glad you are ok and have a story to tell. But you always have a story to tell, we like that part. Be kind people!!!
My mom used to sing Molly Malone growing up. I never knew there was a statue of her ❤ you did great Tony. Glad you’re ok
I've walked all over Dublin. I'm impressed! None of what you saw was close together. I love your channel and wish you the best for the rest of the cruise.
Hi Tony, so first I'm happy you're OK! While you're of course right, we should all listen to our bodies, I also know it's easy to get caught up in the moment and want to push forward. I'm so thankful the damage was minimal and you'll be OK.
Secondly some people (hopefully mostly out of concern) say terribly hurtful things. I've 100% been in your shoes and felt the sting from someone telling me I'm overweight and should do something about it. Omg really? I never thought of that! It's not like I struggle with it everyday! 🙄 People if you feel the need to say something like that check it. Not helpful.
I'm here to say I admire you and to an extent live vicariously through you. I love travel and do so as much as I can but wow some of your adventures, this one included, are mind blowing and way beyond anything I've done so far. Dublin, wow so beautiful!
Keep up the great work and keep being your wonderful self. Thank you.
Jim
Glad to know the only thing that was hurt was your pride. I've been on the weight loss struggle bus most of my adult life, and know first hand how much it sucks to be heavy and still want to go and do all the things I would like to. Keep pressing on and enjoying all that life and cruising has to offer, and I'll keep watching! 🙂
Tony, glad you didn’t hurt yourself too badly. It is a sad state of affairs when complete strangers feel it is okay to shame us. We seem to have lost our ‘filters’ and ‘decency’ when it comes to judging people.
As a fellow ‘fluffy’ guy I know the struggles of losing weight and getting in shape. Would those ‘armchair quarterbacks’ be able to do the 18,000 steps you did? I highly doubt it, yet they won’t congratulate you on this achievement. Well done my friend! From a fellow Ottawan like Don Terris. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I'm glad you're okay and not hurt!!! Enjoy your vacation!
Falls happen to the best of us. I enjoy your videos. We love cruising and enjoy your content. Keep doing you and don’t let the trolls get you down.😊
I actually fell off the curb in the Dublin shopping area. Thank goodness no cars were coming. A lovely young man and my brother in law got me back on my feet!!.
So glad you are ok Tony! You are such a trooper! Thanks for the great footage! Heal up. ❤😊🎉
Glad to see you smiling. Enjoy the rest of your cruise.
Luv looking at Ireland again through your eyes. Glad you are ok, and hope you not too bruised. 🚢🚢
That picture of you guys with the Molly Malone statue is priceless! I think I have a similar pic of myself from way back in 2004.
I hear ya about overdoing it on vacation. We recently went on a transatlantic. Our first stop was Malaga Spain, where my husband and I ended up walking more than 7 miles. I'm not really in any kind of shape to do this, but I did it! I even endured being pig snorted at by a guy behind my back while I was climbing steps on a castle wall. I don't know why some people are so rude!
Our second stop was Valencia, where we again walked several miles. Wore me out, but I'm glad that my legs were able to carry me all that way so that I could see all the cool stuff that I saw!
All I can say is ouch! Glad you were with friends. Enjoy the rest of your journey!
Glad you are ok and much love to your healing. Great videos as always.
Glad you are okay. Thanks for documenting your journeys!
Just glad you are okay! I have issues with my feet...some days I have little or no problems...other days it is torture to walk. Was on a cruise that stopped in Charleston SC and I had signed up for a walking ghost tour. About 2 blocks from the ship I decided to forgo the tour and head back to the ship. I got concerned that I would be far away from the ship and would need help to get back. So I listened to my inner voice went back. I was cruising solo so I would have had to depend on the kindness of others.
Glad you are ok...I know your knee is probably hurting as I write this but hopefully you will be able to enjoy the rest of your cruise and ports of call. Be safe!
God bless you Tony and traveling mercies too. 🙏
Oh man Tony!!!!!!!!!!! Dang. I fell in Ft Lauderdale night before our Odyssey cruise and had huge hematoma migrating down my face the entire cruise! Tripped trying to step up on a curb. Fell forward and hit my forehead on a 2ft thick cement pillar, ouch. At least you look pretty good. It took 4 weeks for the blue patches to go away. That's what convinced me to buy the electric wheelchair. But at 73, I gotta learn that time marches on...or rolls on! LOL
I am glad that you are back on your feet again
Thankful to hear that you were not injured seriously. Take care of that knee.
