Falling on Concrete Hurts

On Friday I was running after Logan. He was going down the stairs outside our apartment. Guess what I did??? I fell down after him. My foot caught on the bumpy concrete and I tried to get my footing and fell the last two steps and landed on the landing :( I fell onto my left arm and shoulder. I laid there praying that I didn't break anything because we don't have insurance. Russ picked me up and determined that everything was still in tact. My arm started to swell up and it is so bad that I couldn't straighten my arm out. But I am much better today. My arm, shoulder and ribs are sore so I am becoming a iboprofen commercial. I also broke a few blood vessels on my leg where it hit the step so it is a beautiful patch of purplish blue. I wish I wasn't such a clutz!!!! Oh well!
