Ouchie

Today I really biffed it on the blacktop for no apparent reason. I was running full speed and downhill, chasing a kickball. I just fell. My forearms are all raw and fleshy now. They really really hurt.

I would have looked like a complete fool if I didn't manage to include an awesome roll/jump in the middle of my fall, allowing me to hop up, get the ball, and throw it in. The kids loved it. After that I went inside to clean off my bleeding arms.

H-Core.

How is your RIB?? At least you have a cool story! But we are twins YEA!!!

Oh right, my rib.

So, in all the excitement of bleeding I didn't notice the pain in my side. But, yeah, I broke my fall with not only my forearms, but my ribs as well. The ribs struck a sort of ledge. My semi-professional sources say I probably cracked one of them. Oh, sweet karma.

...and Cassy, you will of course get a magnet. But that means you have to pray for me. DAILY. Maybe your arms were sore from moving?

Cassy said...

I woul dbe happy to.
And nope, not from moving.

Are they sore from turning the wheel while trying to park Wilfred? From pouring water? Lifting those buffet trays? Doing intensive origami? The Tae-bo 8 minute workout? Trying to pull open a door that said push?

I want to know!
