It Was Her Turn
If it ain't one thing, it's the other. If it ain't either one, it's both! I was shopping with aenodia yesterday at Wally World. I was riding a 'Mart Cart' cause my legs were giving me fits and she had gone off to get a pound of butter in the dairy section. I thought she had been gone a long time, and then a store clerk came up and said "Your wife has had a fall."
Well, that was the cue for a major anxiety attack. I followed him to where she was, and he explained that he had been stocking eggs and had dropped one. Before he could set up a warning cone, she stepped back from the display right onto the egg and ZIIIPPPP, down she went. She landed right on her kneecap and skinned it pretty bad. She was in a lot of pain and couldn't walk much, so we got another 'Mart Cart' and finished our shopping trip on 8 wheels (4 apiece). The store filed an incident report and gave her some ice packs to help with the swelling.
This evening, she seems to have bounced back pretty well. The knee is still tender to the touch, but she has full use of it and there doesn't seem to be any broken bones. (LUCKY!!) I told her if we'd played our cards right we could have wound up owning some stock in the company (vbg) but I am just delighted that she has had no lasting injury.
That was the BAD news. The GOOD news is - that's all the bad news.
