Ouch! I slipped and fell at school...

Earlier today I walked up a hill at school to see what was taking the lunch staff so long to come and get our younger kids. I was really annoyed to see them just standing there chatting, they were already 5mins late- we had about 60 kids (30 of whom go to them) waiting in line, in the rain!!


This 'late' issue has been brought up, but nothing's changed.


Suffice it to say I was aggravated. I remember telling them we were waiting at the bottom of the hill and turned to walk away. Not sure how swiftly I turned (I guess out of anger lol)- whatever way it was {BAM} down I went.


Ouch.


I've managed to graze my right ankle, and I'm sure a nice bruise will develop too. My bum will surely get some color as well and my left knee- that's really the sore area. Think I twisted it slightly- it's very tender especially for bending.


Not good for the walk challenge.


Picked up some BenGay and going to slather it on in just a while. Plus I've been taking Advil. I'm terrified I'm going to really feel the affects of the fall tomorrow.


We're just not as limber as we once were.

Sorry to hear about the fall. Sounds like you'll be joining me on the injured reserve list for a few days!

Oh IG - I hope you aren't feeling too badly today!! Take care of that ankle!! Haven't you had some problems with your ankles before too?? I know it makes it worse that you were all ticked off too - you want to make that snotty exit and going down on your tush just doesn't have the same effect, LOL.


Hope you aren't too badly off today, sending {{{GET BETTER VIBES}}}

Ouch sorry hopefully the knee is okay, knees are so delicate. I hope you didn't tweak it too bad and it's just a bruised body.


Smile,

LOL- at some of your comments!!


The bruising of the bum- nice shades.... the ego's doing much better today. As is, surprisingly, the knee. I do plan in taking it easy for a couple of days. It's not near as sore as it was last night, I just feel small twinges on certain movements.


Bengay worked like a charm. Used it on the crick in my neck too. Much better mobility today!


Thanks for all the kind words, they helped too :-)
