Yesterday I ran my hip into a steel arm of a lawn chair and that hurt. Got a bruise from that..Then today Tom and I went to our hometown laundromat ( my washer died recently after 15 yrs and I haven't replaced it yet ) We both had to make some stops in town so we decided to walk for exercise while we waited for the clothes to get done. All was fine for a bit and then I tripped. I started falling and Tom tried to grab for me but I was on a roll (literally ) and my momentum didn't stop. I fell down and just as I hit the ground coming down the alley was a parametic truck ( what are the odds of that ?!!! !! .They both got out to see if I was ok and I got up and I could walk. The lady parametic said " I saw him try to stop your fall but he just couldn't do it !!" Tom said he was afraid if he grabbed too hard at the rate of speed I was going he may have put my shoulder out of the socket so he stopped. They asked if I wanted an ice pack and I declined but I probably should have taken it because my wounds started to really smart as we started back to the laundrymat. Anyway, I got road rash on my arm and I was shaken up a bit and I have some bruises on my thigh where I actually fell on that I'm sure will be darker in the morning too. I also looked down at my knee and here I had a small cut on that too and I had to cut some skin off of it that got scraped when I fell. My knee feels "tight" and it aches some but I don't think anything is really hurt there...I laid on the couch and took a nap and later this afternoon when I got up I was really stoved up! So I took a Bufferin and I feel better now. UGH !! If I were 20 it probably wouldn't bother me as much but at 65 EVERYTHING is exaggerated ! Anyway, I'll live but thought I'd share my stupidity with y'all ! LOL !!
WOW, glad you didn't break anything. Sounds like things I do. I'm sure you will be sore but hope you heal quickly. I went through a few years of horrible falls and lots of injuries. NOW, I have slowed way down and watch every step I take. I cannot afford a fall again. Between my head, elbow, pelvis, shoulder,clavical, hands, wrist, ribs, legs,ankle, toes fingers, knee injuries from falls, I'm done....LOL Aging sucks.My "2016" saying is: "All racers, mess a lot with Lagano" What goes around comes around".
