Crash! Bang! Boom!

I fell. First time in a long time and it really wasn't my fault. I was just finishing dressing, after swimming, when I started towards the counter to dry my hair. BAM! Down on my butt I went. I slipped on the wet floor and my legs just went right out in front of me. Two old ladies came running from out of nowhere. They offered to help me get up (lol), but I was able to do it on my own.

My left arm was and still is throbbing with a small bruise. I think my gym bag pulled down on that arm and it slammed into the floor. My bottom and back are extremely sore also, but I haven't looked for any bruising. I had to fill out an accident report, which I couldn't because I was shaking so bad. I think the jolt to my body, plus just finishing my workout, was too much for my body. I just told the Y lady what happened and she did all the writing. My signature looked like an 80 year old woman had signed it!

Well, I'm off to shower and see if any other damage is evident. Otherwise, it's pain pills for me tonight.

Hope you have painless night and that you will recover quickly. I don't think I could get up by myself from the floor after a fall! It would take a fork lift to do the job!
