While we were out, we stopped by Costco to see what they had and what their prices looked like. Unfortunately, in getting out of the car, I tripped on...something. I really have no idea how it happened but I lost my balance and started to fall but also did that fun, very fast, dance-type stuff when you try to catch yourself. I had parked next to one of those median things, full of trees & bushes, cut back and leafless for the winter but still - a hazardous place. I almost caught myself, too but then my knee buckled and I went down.
Of the different ways I could have fallen, I fell the best way. Fortunately I walked away with nothing more than a few scrapes and bruises. Big bruises, mind you but just bruises nonetheless.
I am oh so graceful these days. Not quite sure what my issue is - shoes? age? just plain rushing? I'm not sure but I don't think it's medical although if I have another unexplained fall I may have to rule that out for sure.
Today I sit in pain. My shoulders and neck feel like I've been in a car accident. I'm on ibuprofen and hot showers. Right about now I'm wishing our hot tub still worked...
Praying it's only a few days and I go back to normal...
On a much happier note, today is my father's birthday. I wish him a happy day and wishing we could do something together but that didn't work out this year. He should, I hope be celebrated in wonderful style, surrounded by people who love him. I know my hugs and birthday wishes have been sent. He's 66 today. Hard to believe, really. Funny, isn't it? How people always look to us - he's coming up to 70 but in my mind's eye I still see him in his 30's.
Happy Birthday, Dad. May there be many more.
With love,
