You'd got to the ER if you had potential breakage, I hope, yes?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Definitely -- I really don't think it's a break, just a bruise. It's sore, but not sharp pain.

My dignity has been fatally wounded, though. (In our group text, my college roommates assured me that I never had any dignity to begin with. This is the danger of being friends with people for 35 years.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I slipped and fell

Ouch! Don't do that.

Remember the wise words of Batty Koda: "Oh! Gravity works!"

And the wise words of The Tick: "Gravity is a harsh mistress."

Yikes, Teppy. Take care of yourself.

Ha, ha, ha. Yes. Yes, it is.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Yikes, Steph! I hate when that happens! I've also had two falls in the last couple of months. Definitely no fun. My right knee seems to be where I concentrate my landings and it's still a little sore even though I'm recovered from the rest of the bumps and bruises. Hope ice & ibuprofen have you feeling better ASAP.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Like, I’m so tired and/or bored I can’t even bring myself to make a list, let alone do any of the things. Or anyway that’s my new entirely made up etymology.

Head cannon accepted.

Glad to see you, Epic!

Tep, are your electrolytes good? Because I was that falling person. I'm still unsteady sometimes but it's useful to know. I understand the embarrassment but we're on your side here. Feel better!

...that's a good question. When I came home from Colorado in September with the flu, I got really dehydrated but bought electrolyte replacement to add to water (Drip Drop Hydration was the winner). I assumed my electrolytes have been okay since then, but maybe not.

Sounds like it's time to wrap someone in bubble wrap.
