We All Fall Down

Jul 08, 2013 15:52

 I fell today.  Yes, I'm a klutz.

I was walking around my car in the garage, hit the slight lip between the driveway and the garage floor wrong, realized Whoa, I'm gonna go down, and dropped.

Luckily years of bad knees and occasional bouts of vertigo mean I know how to fall without seriously hurting myself.  Bad news is that falling on concrete hurts like a bitch even when you fall "well".

Even though it was my left foot that got all twisted up I managed to fall to my right (thank goodness) so I avoided smashing my bad (worse) knee into the floor.  My right knee is scraped and bruised.  My hip is bruised.  My foot is a little achy.  And despite trying to go limp I pulled some muscles across my shoulders just a wee bit.

I got up, dusted myself off, checked that I didn't rip my pants, got in the car and came in to work.

I am a dork.  A sore dork.
