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.)

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.

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.

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!

Tep, are your electrolytes good?

...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.

For SURE, when I am dehydrated, there is more danger of falling... and all kinds of other crap. Look into that!
